Hello everybody, I have a Beogram 5005 attached to a BS6500. Yesterday arrives my pre-amp and just now I had the opportunity to listen the first LP's.

Suddenly, after the first musics, and more next to the center of the disc, I figure that the music sounds like if the speed rotation were lower than 33 rpm...

What do you think that might causing this?

 

Thanks for your help!
 

I suggest that the rubber belt on the record deck has stretched with age and needs replacing. Your dealer can still order these for you or you could try member Dillen on this forum.

Thanks Graham!
Do you think that it will fix the problem?

Dillen, could you give me a helping hand here?

 
Thanks in advance!
 

I agree that it could be the belt. There are actually two belts in your Beogram but we are referring to the large one that drives the platter. New belts are in stock.

It could also be the speed setting trimmers. These are electronic parts inside the Beogram. Some trimmer types fall apart physically, others oxidate heavily. They are fairly cheap components but basic electronic skills and tools are required to replace them.

However, I would check the belt first. Lift off the platter (it can bind drastically to the subplatter on which the belt grips). With the Beogram disconnected from mains rotate the subplatter back and forth by hand, watch if the motor rotates or the belt slips. If the belt slips it will definitely need replacing.

Dillen,

 

I'm not sure what do you mean by "if the belt slips"...

How much would cost a new belt? Because if it is cheap, I could buy one and try... 

Thanks in advance! 

I suggest that you buy one and try it. The old one is past it's best anyway. In my experience it is almost always the belt that is the problem.

A new belt either fixes it or removes a variable.

I think I'm gonna try it.

Does anyone here has one for sale? Or can anyone tells me where to buy it?

Cheers!

Your B&O dealer can still order a belt or Dillen keeps stock.
