Help! My beogram 4000 when turned on, the arm moves about a centimetre then drops! completely missing the record.

It will do this regardless of having a record placed or not.

Could this be something straightforward?

Mange tak ( the only Danish i know fluently after visiting!)

I would start by carefully pulling the sensor housing out of the arm (it should slide foreward with a little GENTLE persuasion) and checking all connections to the sensor... and if it is socketed check the contacts are ok.. I would guess the sensor lamp is actually lit?!

just to add, as I didn't see the cm bit before but it might actually be the initial adjustment for 33 record being mal-adjusted you need to read the SM as to how to adjust those little leaf switches... Let us know how you get on!

Thanks for that, i will be dis-assembling this evening!

Ray,

I hope this isn't the BG 4000 you've just collected from Frede in Denmark.

It is the one but not Frede's fault i hasten to add! Frede's work is superb and a great guy to boot ....probably more to do with being in the boot of an Aston Martin for a day plus on and off a ferry
