Thanks again for the thoughful feedback. John

Hello Martin, Thanks for the reply. I hate to sound like such a dunce with the questions, but what should I be listening for? I have a CBS Laboratories "Technical Series Test Record" that I have used to compare the inside and outside bands of the record, and for separate right and left channels. I would assume that since the 4002 is a tangential

I recently got a very decent Beogram 4002 with a MMC 4000 cartridge on ebay. Any thoughts on evaluating the condition of a used cartridge if one does not own an expensive microscope and have the skill to evaluate a cartridge with it. We only have one Audio/Video establishment here in Boise, Idaho worthy of the name, and they don't even carry turntables

Thanks to both of you, Chartz and Peter. John

Hello, At some point in years past the panel over the tone and sensor arm came off on my Beogram 8000 and I eboxed it back on.

Hello Phil, Thanks for the reply. I am at the other end of the universe, Idaho! Only kidding Idaho just seems that way. Is the platter you have available from either a Beogram 8000 or 6006?

Hello, I am looking for a replacement for a Beogram 8000 platter that I managed to mess up cosmetically, and someone has a platter from a 4000 or 4002 that from the image looks very similar to the 8000. Can anyone tell me if they are basically the same? Regards, John

Hello, I am looking for a Beogram 8000 platter in good condition but will also consider a 6002 or 8002 if available. I live in the USA but would pay intenational shipping if someone across the pond has one available. Thanks, John

Hi Peter, Good hearing from you again. Curious about what you meant by levelling a 6002 or 8002? Are the platters thicker? John
