yes it does move sideways almost the full length of the slide but it meets slight resistance about 1cm from right end

Menahem. I removed the PCB to check the solenoid and all seems well. The plunger is completely free and can be moved easily by hand from one end of the slot to the other (about 7mm) . I have not tried it with power but as it actually moved a little when in position I assume the coil is fine. Movement when in place is limited by the two levers resting

Many thanks for the link. So far I have looked very carefully at the gears but not attempted to remove anything. I have read through the contributions in the thread and will look at it very carefully to check the operation. I had overlooked this relay as something seemed to move there when I switched things. The symptoms are just as described so this

Thanks Graham, I have now got to this stage and will try to sort the gears with the help of the assembly pictures in the service manual. It is obvious that care is needed with all the plastic bits that will not like abuse. One thing I have confirmed is that the motor is O.K. and that it changes speed with the manual selector. I have noticed that the

Yes, I did release the transport screws and the chassis is floating free. Are these transport screws the transport lock mentioned earlier or is there something else? John

Thank you for the replies. Graham I think you have confirmed that I have a problem. I have removed the cartridge so I can push things around a bit. The platter does not move in either direction and when I remove the drive wheel the two large gears are rigid. The pickup arm is free and can be slid along it's guide rail. I have just looked at the

Can anyone help with suggestions? I recently acquired a Beogram 3000. Mainly for the looks, but as it is complete and looks sound I tried to run it.I have not linked it to any of my equipment but am not having any success. Using the button controls the motor starts to move but the platter stops after only moving a mm or so. The pickup indicator shows

Mika I agree about using old speakers, especially with regard to modern active ones. In fact I have a pair of Beovox speakers that I acquired with an early Beomaster at an auction. These suffice for operating my later acquisitions just to check they work but not quite adequate for a system that I wish to use for listening in a more regular basis. I

Thank you both for satisfying my curiosity. I take the point about modern active speakers with older mono sets. So far I have concentrated on the Beolits as it is easy to illustrate how they evolved. Using modern speakers with them would be inappropriate and in any caseI don't mind not having Hi Fi type of performance. My next interest is the separates

I am curious about separate B&O speakers. I have been collecting Radios for some time and my collection off B&O equipment has up to now been self-contained units. I have noticed the brochure description for separate speakers usually describes them in the singular. It then gives a price but it is not clear whether it is for each speaker or for
