My Beogram 8000 is possessed!

Reply Contact

I apparently posted this in the wrong place this morning - hopefully someone here might be able to help.

I have a Beogram 8000 that doesn't get a lot of use, but I leave it hooked up just in case. This morning I thought I heard the needle mechanism lift, and I look at the table and the platter is spinning so fast that I couldn't even see the plastic ribs which support the LP. I started pushing buttons to no avail, and literally had to pull the plug to get it to stop. Of course, now it won't power up.

Has anyone ever run across something like this before? I thought it was relatively easy to change the fuse on this unit, but I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks -

I have certainly heard of this before. First thing to do is change the capacitors. Also look at the tacho disc. Martin can supply both.

I've had this problem on my Beogram 8002. Pulling the plug for a few minutes was the only way to stop it.

In short your Beogram 8000 needs to be looked at. It's typically age which the capistors and tacho disc typically doing all sorts of weird things.

Martin/Dillen is the man to contact as he is the only one who can supply the parts and advice.
