Hi Jeff I have looked into the plexigals repair kit https://www.micro-surface.com/default.cfm?page_id=90&id=3KLENS&storeid=1 This looks really interesting, I polished some parts of the Beogram 4000 lid last night and it is coming up really well. As you know this is always an uncertain path to take as its such a fine job to do, I have spent hours

Cheers Jeff You are spot on I managed to idetify what part was responsible for the arm uplift at the end over the weekend, its now running like a dream. I am also running out of things to fix on the Beogram 4000 unlike what you had to do with yours. I am about to tackle the dust cover which has fine scratches but will be looking at swapping ideas with

Cheers Jeff I am pretty dedicated to them, to help keep these lovely things going. I have been facinated by them since I was a boy when my dad had a beogram 1200, all my friends thought it was so space age. At that time most folk I knew had the old cabinets or turtables with Pick axes on them. I also remember clearly when I broke his stylus tut tut

Hi Jeff thanks I think you may be refering to the Aluminium control plates which I have taken off, but what I wondering about is how to get under the plastic housing to the underside were the buttons sensors are, hope you follow what I mean Cheers Kev

Hi Thanks Can you send the link for that ebay item and I will have alook at it. I totally understand the problem with lids, its such a visual part of the whole thing. I have managed to find some really good cleaning materials after some research. I have also tried various techniques such as beleieve iot or not BRASO with fine paper and lots of water

Hi there its aluminium, I have a spare metal strip from a 4002 but its not in great shape, I have a BG 4000 lid but without the metal strip and I would like to find a part for it as they are just stuck on, the glue usually goes and the strip loosens and comes off. Kevin
