As a final note to all of you who helped with the restoration and trouble shooting of this turntable I wanted you to know that there is now another fully functioning Beogram 4002 turntable out there in the world. Jacque was correct that I needed to tear down the table to get at the lifting arm to fix that problem. It turns out that the lifting arm was corroded to the shaft it was supposed to rotate on. So instead of rotating on the shaft the shaft was partially rotating in the housing, I was amazed that it was doing that at all since that pin is supposed to be fixed and not rotate. It took some time to get everything adjusted but all seems to be working properly now and I have been listening to records on it with no sign of a problem.

Thanks again,

John

Ah, well done, well done!

Really good to hear that John!

However many typical problems we'd go through, there's always a surprise somewhere... good work sorting that out

Yes very good, well done. Two more to go?

Well done John!

And the rest of you all who pitched in to help!

Yes again my thanks to the help of all of you. Olly has a good memory that I had 3 non-functioning tables to begin with, and one had to give up its life for the other two. I now have a second one almost working but am dealing with issues with a platter motor I believe that is not stable. It had the central pole stuck and needed to be taken apart to get it loosened up and I think I might have done some damage to the brushes that are at the base of the motor. The rest of the table seems to function properly but needs to be properly adjusted and set up. The table I have been posting about was quite a mess so the second one was much easier to fix.

Warm regards,

John
