Oh, and I upgraded to Gold so I could download the service manual, thanks for the tip! Rob

Funny you mention Dillen, I just bought a tachodisc from him on eBay!!! I didn't know he was a member here, I'm sure I'll need some of his help in the future. Cheers, Rob

This is a cool little community you have here! Thanks for the great responses. Unfortuntely the 8000 has to be shipped, I wish I could pick it up. This TT will need a bit of work to get it up and running correctly. Who is the resident Beogram 8000 guru?

Thank you gents! I appreciate your responses. I am crossing my fingers!!!

Hello, I am purchasing a Beogram 8000 and would like to know if there are any special shipping instructions for this turntable (securing the platter, tonearm, etc.)? Any help would be great!!! Cheers, Rob
