Hi I have two original B&O cartridges - purchased new a very long time ago for my 4002 turntable. The cartridges were hardly played before the turntable developed problems and my listening to B&O gear came to an abrupt end more than 20 years ago. With a lot of assistance from this forum, my 4002 is again almost in good order and ready to play

Hi Menahem It's good to read your message I still have that speed problem. At max + on 33.3rpm, it still runs about 3 to 5% slow. Although the belt is in reasonable condition, I will pick up another on Monday. I have not yet glued the motor pulley but I don't think there's any slippage. The 45rpm still runs considerably slower than 33.3rpm

Sorry about the double post. There was a problem last night with the forum slow to load. Btw, has anyone attempted to improve or brighten-up the anodised surfaces of the top plates? Obviously, the brushed effect has to remain. I have some spare covers here and was thinking of making a test. I have anodised aluminium and know most of the processes, pre

Hi All I write bringing good news that I have been listening to records all day on the 4002 Initially, the 33.3rpm speed was very much too slow but this improved to about 5% off by yesterday morning. After a motor swap a few hours ago, things are spot on. So, it is time to thank each one of you who read the gory details of the many dark, cold nights

Hey Guys I write to thank you all - YachadM (Menahem) Dillen (Martin), Harry Pierce, So/!!ren and my apologies for leaving anyone out which I think I have. I have been playing records all day long while I made some minor adjustments (not to the board, Menahem ) and did a motor swop about an houyr ago which corrected the speed issue on 33.3rpm. As you

Hi Menahem What can I say Thank you very much for taking me out of audio's equivalent of a "black hole". The road is not at its end yet and I faithfully promise to only work on the 4002 when I've had a full night's sleep Menahem even sent me a little video to show the rejuvenated board works on another 4002 - much appreciated.

[quote user="Dillen"] I was not referring to the lamp inside the sensorarm (next to the tonearm). I am talking about the lamp (or LED) that shines through the plastic ruler below decks. Martin [/quote] Hi Martin I am very grateful for your continued interest in this repair saga. I still feel a bit silly about changing the original capacitors

Hi Martin I took a few hours off but I'm starting on the job in a few minutes from now. I traced the oil droplet to a little can of Elna sewing machine oil I used to lubricate some moving parts. All the machines I have here have incandescent lamps in the wand and inside the black cover. This morning, I tried many places for small 24V lamps and until

Hi Martin I just typed a longish reply to the issues you raised and I must have clicked something other than "Post" and whatever I wrote went missing. Briefly, I understand your sentiment about replacing things unneccessarily and I did so with reluctance as I saw many recommendations to renew capacitors. One of the white EVOX caps was wet

Hi Rudy Thanks so much for your interest. I wish I could write ".....board that I just fixed." It is 05:59 here in midwintery and very cold Cape Town. And this is my third successive all night session this week with the 4002 Yesterday, I bought new capacitors which cost all of only ZAR28.- (about 4 or 5 US$) and took my time to fit them one
