I just slipped it into position. Thanks. Now of course it seems so logical! So does the torsion bar/spring hook onto the protruding tab on the side of the damper plate? If this works I'm going to be VERY happy. Steve

Martin, Here is the gizmo, as an attachment. Any ideas? Thanks Steve

Thanks. I'll send some photos this evening. Steve

Martin, I have the 7700 open as well as my spare 7000, and the spring on the 7000 has a tiny slider piece that appears to be held in place by that super sticky grease. It must have a better way of being attached? I also found a sickle shaped piece of plastic with a loop in one end. It was laying next to the transformer. I'm not sure what this does

The spring on my unit rests in a metal, I'm assuming it is aluminum, casting with a groove machined in it, and is held in place by a metal stepped cap piece held in place by two small screws. Two larger screws, with washers, hold the spring and cover hinge in position. Now, is the slider piece you are referring to something that fits onto the loop

This is probably a question only Martin will know the answer to, but the spring on the control panel door my BeoCenter 7700, complete with pristine cabinet, has slipped out of position. No matter how many time I loosen everything up, reposition the spring on the hinge, and then load it by pulling the end around and into position, when I open the door

Wow, I am having same problem with my early 4002, the one with the smaller capstan, type 5523. The cartridge arm is drooping and when the turntable is activated it moves across the entire record as if no record is present and then returns all the way back to the off position. The lamp on the control arm is on but maybe it isn't bright enough any

Is there a preamp out on a beomaster 2400? I can't find it and have no idea how to set one up. On my beocenter 7700 it is very easy. Thanks Steve
