It seems easier to me&nbsp;for you&nbsp;just to bring your cartridge here, then we can try it on my BG5000 - if it works fine on that you know it&#39;s not the cartridge that&#39;s the problem, and if it doesn&#39;t you know it is. That way saves you two trips to collect and then return it, and I don&#39;t have to be without my MMC4!</p> <p>Let me know if you want to give it a go.</p> <p>Rob.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/258821.aspxThu, 11 Feb 2010 08:04:24 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:258821Dillen0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/258821.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=258821<p>What are the symptoms ?</p> <p>If one channel is missing, try mounting the cartridge upside down.&nbsp;Press play, touch the needle tip gently with a finger and listen.<br />If sound is now missing&nbsp;in the other channel, the cartridge is bad.<br />If sound is still missing&nbsp;in the same channel, the cause is not the cartridge but more likely a broken solder joint inside<br />the DIN plug or a muting problem inside the turntable.</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/258806.aspxThu, 11 Feb 2010 05:51:34 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:258806a11mcr0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/258806.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=258806<p>hi i was wondering if anyone could help me?</p> <p>i have a beogram 3500 which i sent to my local b&amp;o repair guy (martain farrance) for a output fault although he says the stylus seems in good condition he thinks that i could be faulty but without another one to compare it with he cant rule it out.</p> <p>i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to loan me one so i could give it to him to test it?</p> <p>i live in the north east (redcar) so i could collect it of if anyone is willing to post it i will gladly cover the costs!</p> <p>many thanks</p> <p>mark</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
