Is the solenoid (electric coil that activates the arms), doing anything when the arm is supposed to lower ?

Do you have a voltmeter ?

hi martin,

thanks for coming to my rescue,

it does, a bit forcefully, but then comes immediately back up. clearly, whatever controls the descent is not working.

Leonardo,

I noticed your PM with the same content. Let's take it in public, others may benefit from what we find out;

Remove power from the Beogram.
Can you operate the solenoid, piston and its metal arms by hand ?
When/if you do, does the arm lift/lower accordingly ?

Beogram 4000 tonearm issue

calibano — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:47:49 GMT

hi all, I have a self generated issue with my bg 4000, that is, totally caused by my ineptitude.

while repositioning the belt, I have mistakenly altered the position of the screw of the aluminium cylinder that only now I understand regulates the arm dropping time. as a result of that (or, so I believe) the arm does not drop at all. before my genius-like intervention, all was ok. can anyone help me?

thanks,

leonardo
