[quote user="chartz"] Yes, you can be proud. Yet another 4002 saved from the tip! And I agree with Martin, no problem here, you can tell us who you are! [/quote] Yep...will be hanging around beoworld for a while. I normally frequent audiokarma. This was the first B&O TT in my vintage audio collection, and the only other B&O is a basic

WELL...I am a BELIEVER!!!! I used my c-clip tool to remove the clip and took out the lever, and sure enough, the old grease was caked up in there. The Singer oil drop I applied a few days ago was just floating on top of the pin, and never traveled down. Cleaned up the pin and the hole in the lever, applied Singer oil and put everything back, and the

[quote user="Dillen"] Yes, these two points (plus the one in the carriage) are most prone to seizing up: Note that this Beogram differs from the one shown in the linked page, it does not have the left side switch etc. but the tonearm mechs are basically the same. And I agree on using a proper circlip tool. It WILL fly across the room. Martin

[quote user="chartz"] It is not quite stuck (hardened old grease) and the spring isn't powerful enough to call it back as it should! So it will come back but slowly, as if damped. ...

The springs are on correctly just like the photo in the write up. However, I have not lubricated the point inside the carriage head nor the take out the lever at the pivot point with the c-clip by the damper to have a thorough cleaning, so those two items will be next. The behavior I am seeing is that the solenoid shaft shoots out when energized, but

[quote user="yachadm"] Tom, Take a look on Page 3 at Section 3 - Zero balancing the tone arm. http://www.condoraudio.com/wp-content/uploads/Projects/BeoGram-4002-6000-Turntable-Restoration-Repair.pdf It shows how to balance the arm - that's what I would do for starters on this problem. Menahem [/quote] Hi all - I know this thread is from

I just picked up a 4002 where the arm does not lower at all. I followed the steps in the write up from CondorAudio, by lubricating the solenoid, lever, and the damper shaft, and now it lowers correctly. The paper is a pdf file and available when you google it. Let me know how it goes....
