I did a complete cleaning of the unit and set up the tonearm. I figured that I might need to access it at a later date, so I used the sticky tack rather than foam tape, and it really works well.

<>It's a great pleasure to be a part of these forums. I am a recent collector, and currently have a Beomaster 5000, Beocord 5000 and a CD50 all controlled by a MCP5000, all eBay finds. I am enjoying all of them, and was able to get some valuable information from this site. I have a number of other peices as well, and will eventually have some set up in another room.

thanks for your help!

i´ve already glued the lid (which i got by andyt...for free! thanks again!) and the platter surround back to its place using 2 pack epoxy glue... should be fixed now for the next century... now the beogram looks again as it should, very nice machine, in technical terms as well as designwise.

the little spring under the alu plate is still at its place, so no danger if the beogram should be hit by lightning....

Yes, the little spring is for grounding of the platter surround.
You can get some nasty static shocks if not mounted correctly.

Have had to stick quite a few down!! By the way, I take it that the spring that flies out is some form of earth - is that correct?

Welcome to Beoworld !

I never had to remove the platter surround to service a Beogram of this type, what kind of service are you thinking about ?

You can get a very good quality foam tape from a shop that sells auto body repair parts and paint. The tape is made by 3M and is used to attach mouldings to the side of a car. It has a foam core and an excellent adhesive, and worked very well on my 6006. Another problem is the aluminum piece that surrounds the platter. It was also held on with tape, but it needs to be removed for service. After I cleaned off the old foam junk, I went to an office supply store and got some "sticky tack", the stuff that you use to attach posters to walls. A few bits of this are enough to hold the aluminum piece in place quite well, and it is easy to remove it for service and re-attatch it.

hi andi!

that´s really nice of you!

you´re right... also i only could bring back to life many of my b+o due to help from some tech wizards on this forum...

also i have some spare bits for different vintage b+o on my shelf, but as you´ll probably never have just the right part you need at one moment, it´s great to have a community, where you you can share and exchange (hardware as well as experience...)

i`ll pm you my adress.

so thanks alot and if you should be in need of bits and pieces, don´t hesitate to ask!

Just found it its in very good condition with Bang and Olufsen of Denmark in the top right hand corner. Very fine scratches on it hardly noticeable just needs to be glued to the plate.

I have also found the whole 6006 lid with the perspex lid and metal plate in situ next to it as well as the plate previously mentioned. Let me know what you need.

Hi Jens,

no luck I'm afraid - I did have one some time ago (from a beogram 8000) but it may have been given to somone else with some other parts

Sorry

Chris.

thanks for all your help!

the lid on the 6006 was silver with a black part on the back...

2 pack epoxy seems to be the right stuff here, as the connection from the lid to the hinge should be sturdy.

@chris: that would be absolutly great!! i had no hope at all, that i would ever get this part!! i´m really impressed by the turntables technical side and i´d love to bring it back to a good shape on its cosmetic side as well...
so if you should find a spare aluminium lid, just send me the details about the prize and shipping costs for it...

so thanks once again to all!
