Hi,

for my Beogram 4002, i need the photo cell + lamp.

Does anyone have an idea where i could find these ?

 

Thanks
 

I may just have what your looking for Ignace. I'll check tonight

 

 

That would be fantastic !

The repair of the Beogram 4002 is progressing nicely,

what a beauty she is !   

I reckon I have found what you're looking for Ignace. I have the whole arm with the sensor & lamp which I'll gladly send you. PM me your address and I'll pop it in the post for you.

 

Chris.

That is fantastic Chris, i've been looking for those parts for quite some time ! 

PM is on its way  

Sorry to interfere but I had a feeling that it was not the arm sensor/lamp you needed but the tracking

sensor/lamp, in other words the closed housing below decks rather than what sits inside the arm parallel to the tonearm ?

Hi Martin, 

You never intefere !  

it is the arm sensor & lamp that are missing on my BG4002,

you mention the closed housing/ tracking sensor / lamp, because the tonearm doesn't lower ?

 
Thank you for your input !
 

No, the sensor has nothing to do with the lowering of the arm. I must have confused your posting with another one from the old forum.

For a moment you got me sweating, i thought i was focussing on the wrong components LOL  

Thanks Martin.  

 

Ignace,

           I got your PM and will send the parts today. You need to check your in box for replies as they aren't flagged as they were on the old site.

 

Chris.

Chris, did this come from the same one that saved my BG4002? Did cross my mind you may still have parts of it.

That's the chappy Craig.

This is probably the last part I had left over from it. The rest got donated to another beoworlder and this arm (fortunately for Ignace) got left behind

Hi Chris, very fortunate indeed !

I've been looking for that arm for quite some time,

you can imagine how happy i am now !

The Beogram 4002 is an absolute beauty, very few blemishes.

I'll post pictures as soon as it's ready.

Thanks again,

Ignace

Hi Chris,

The arm arrived in the mail today !
 

A big thank you to Chris,

will post the pictures as soon as the BG4002 is up and running !  

 

Thanks for the update Ignace, it's always nice when people show their appreciation

I hope it does the job for you, it came from a turntable that did work until the tonearm cartridge mount broke away. Look forward to seeing some nice photo's.

 

Chris.

Hi all,

Regarding the stylus for BG4002,

currently, there is a MMC20EN on the BG4002 (not tested yet) .

 

As my BG6500 has a MMC2, i was wondering if it would be suitable/wise to place it in the BG4002.

What would you do /suggest ?

 

Thanks for your input !

 

 

As far as i know MMC5-1 range won't fit into the older cartridge: mmc4000 was original and replacement mmc20's fit.....

Ignace, as pointed out your MMC2 will not fit. The MMC20 range fit on the ens of the arm as such. If you look at your BG6500 it fits underneath the arm. The fittings as such are comletely different, and as Paul also points out. Any of the MMC20 range will fit, I use to use an MMC20S on my BG4002.

 

Craig

Thanks ipaul and Craig for your input.

The current stylus MMC20EN, how "good" is it ?

I looked up the information from the Products list:

The MMC20EN was the standard cartridge fitted to the top of the line Beogram 4002 and 4004.

How do i interpret "standard cartridge" and "top of the line",

would you recommend this stylus or a different one for the BG4002 ?

 

Thanks !  

 

 

The MMC20CL is better IMHO

Kevin:

The MMC20CL is better IMHO

Thanks Kevin, are the differences noticeable in the higher frequency range ?

 

I find the whole sound crisper and with my BG4000 the bass is still there. It gives a whole new feel to an LP but does pick up the blemishes more. If I remember a post Peter made on the last forum this is down to the needle getting deeper into the groove.

I do have one on a second deck which you could try out. I suspect though the best solution would be a soundsmith since the bargains on these (possibly due to Beoworld) are few and far between and they are OLD! What soundsmith have done with the mc4 seems to have surpassed the original so the mmc20 would one would hope be just as good.

Thanks Kevin,

that's something i can work with !

Crisper sound is what i'm after.  

 

My idea is to connect the BG4002 to a Luxman valve amplifier

and Floating Synthese 1 speakers. 

For years i've been asking my father, trying to convince him to sell them to me !   

 

 

Waaaay beyond my experience but if you need the cartridge let me know
