Your decision completely, though I find it hard to believe that finding another Beogram at Ebay would be cheaper than hitting the play button some 30-40 times.

Absolutely! Then you could get a cheaper price because you were having 2 serviced at once.

It is a problem with Beograms and eBay !

Well, I guess I just have to service it, how much do we talk costwise?

That all depends on what the problem is and where you take it.

Hi.

Yes, I have a record on it =)

Die_Bogener is correct in that it won't start without a record. It will just rotate the platter a couple of times without moving the arm.

However, if the Beogram hasn't been used for a long time, it may seem to start correctly, swing in the tonearm and lower but then lift and stop right after the needle has landed on the record. This is due to oxidation on contacts inside and in most cases it will wear off in normal use.

The correct thing to do is to have it serviced, cleaned etc. but you can also try playing a record several times, maybe 20 times or more and see if it starts behaving correctly.

The above applies to all the Beograms in this series, Beogram RX, RX2, 1800, 2000, 5000 and derivate Beocenters.

... and there is a record on the table? Without a record it will stop, it's a safety function for the needle :)

Hello

I found this turntable in our cellar, so it may be damaged.

When I press play the table starts spinning but then stops shortly after the needle gets in position, is there any way I can fix this problem?

Thanks
