Hi Mika and Peter, just an update I installed the new fuse and it blew so I guess there is a much more serious problem. Maybe the power supply or the circuit the fuse supplies has a short or something? It was worth a try but I guess it is back to the drawing board. I may have to find a B & O tech as there should be one in Toronto?/ thanks Daren

OK Mika, I will take your advice and proceed with caution. I have done a little bit of electronic work before but I am rusty but do have a multimeter etc. I also have a variac, being that I have no way of knowing how long the unit spent in the attic and its previous owner was around 90 when he died do you think hooking it up to the variac and bringing

Hello, Peter I didn't know that about the B & O cartridges but it makes sense as they are extremely small. One more dumb question if I may? The store as I suspected didn't have the exact match , I believe it was a .25 that I needed the closest I could get was .31 and I thought that would be close enough but thought I would run it by you

OK, well that is good too know, thanks again MIKA and Peter for all the tips ! I will keep you posted on the outcome once I source a fuse. many thanks Daren

Hi Peter, thanks! there is 1 4" long grey metal cap that says 1000uf on it but only 1 .I may have trouble tracking that fuse down around here but I know I have thousands of fuses and parts as I just cleaned out an estate of an old audio repair shop guy and have boxes and boxes of parts for just about everything except B & O tables unfortunately

Hi Guys, thanks for your quick replies and answers. I have got the unit apart as I do have some keen mechanical sense. The small fuse on the right is blown,not sure what could cause this but when I removed it the metal end came right off which may be nothing but I thought I would mention it. As far as a switch at the back I am not sure this unit ever

Hi Chris, many thanks for the reply yes you are correct it was a typo on my part it is indeed a 4002! I pulled out the wooden trim as you suggested and will see if I can remove the platter etc.I was at an auction on the weekend where there was a complete system including the 8000 amp, I think the 9000 tape deck, tuner etc and the matching turntable

Hello, first of all I would like to say that as a Newbie to this site I must say that it is a real pleasure to be able to join such a well run site that upon joining seems to be extremely friendly and helpful. I have had many turntables over the years and just recently bought my first B & O table a 4200 that appeared in great shape! Unfortunately
