If you don&#39;t then the fault is likely to return in the near future.</p> <p>I&#39;ve attached a photo of the points which need attention.

Don&#39;t use anything like wd40, and I wouldn&#39;t advise 3in1 either. It is best to remove the arms but you will need circlip pliars for this, and a lot of care.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/302122.aspxMon, 22 Nov 2010 19:58:54 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:302122Ziggy19720https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/302122.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=302122<p>Thanks, I&#39;ll pick up some lube during the week and give it a try.

Fairly straight forward for the mechanically minded requiring partial strip and re-applying a good quality lube such as singer oil - there are lots of posts on this common issue to help you, although people are always willing to offer advice here!</p> <p>I would highly recommend you download the service manual and follow the set up procedures to get the best out of the turntable. New belts and other kits / parts are available from member Dillen.</p> <p>***Sorry I should say if there is no click it could still be due to a bad case of dried lube....</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/302103.aspxMon, 22 Nov 2010 17:23:58 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:302103Ziggy19720https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/302103.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=302103<p>I recetly aquired a B &amp; G system with a Beogram 4004. When I press start, the arm moves into position, but will not drop. I can push it down with my finger, but it pops back up. I don&#39;t have a user&#39;s manual, so it may be something silly that I&#39;m doing. Any suggestions please?</p> <p>Pat.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
