Hi ,

I have a beogram 1500 to match my beomaster 1500. I love the quality and retro looks but have had a few niggles.I think most are down to age.

The problem I'm most interested in is soting my record speed out. My deck seems to play a little fast ! Not ridiculously so but enough for me to notice. Is there a way to adjust the 33 rpm to "just " right ?

The other niggle is thqt at the end of a record the arm just swings across the record without lifting.It lifts when "pausing" so I know all the mechanics are ok

Help with the speed would really be the priority as I want to enjoy my stock of old albums

Any help gratefully received

Cheers

Rich

We need to know the type of your 1500, 57xx or something like it

Hi,

The model I have is a BG1500 5714 type

Hope this helps

Doesn't the fine speed adjustment (small fingerwheel) work ?

The slow (or completely missing) arm lift is caused by dried out lubricants.
We've had that several times, also with Beogram 2200 and 2400 models.
Do a search and you will find a photo of the dry spot or maybe another member
has a bookmark.

Didnt find the BG 1500 manual, but you may look for 2 pcs potentiometers for speed adjustment, here the manual for 1102, belt drive, you may have a speed selector for +- speed or not, the adjustments may be under the platter, under the top cover or through holes in the buttom plate.

Martin you are a genius !!!!!

I did not know this existed, the speed is now perfect . Thankyou

I will also look into the lubrication issue when I have time ,I just get up quick at the end of the record at the moment.

Thanks again

Rich

Thanks for your input Soren , the speed issue is now resolved
