In fact the small PCB in the Beogram sans phono board has the same notches. Just remove it to see!
Hi,
I don’t remember but you can find them by looking where it is supposed to be seated inside the Beogram, right?
I got mine from someone on the old forum who went by the username solderon29 – but that was 7 years ago so not sure if he’s active on the new site?
Yeah, I also got it from him.
Welcome to Beoworld!
Nothing can be said from the pictures you display here. You really need a microscope, a good light source and some experience to do that. I use x20 magnification, more if I can’t decide. The worn surfaces are this tiny!
Listen to a distinct lack of high treble. A dull MMC is a worn one.
Yup, the idler is definitely the culprit for this noise. The usual flat spot plus hardened rubber. Nothing to be done here, just have it redone by a competent company. All three have to be done, by the way.
Meanwhile, you can swap the noisier one with the one at right.
Never mind the belt, but yeah, it’ll need to be replaced too. It’s a bit loose.
The rattle is not normal. Just feel if the CD is clamped completely. When it starts turning, unplug the player and feel whether the CD has some play as regards to its platter.
Funny that I should still appear as a bronze member Guy, by the way ?
Leave the large silver caps alone, and check the others that supply the different voltage rails.
Two things if the transformer gets hot:
– Is it 220 or 240?
– Check power supply caps. I had a 5500 with a nearly shorted one (Sony branded) that made the transformer thermal fuse melt.
This might eventually happen to yours.Leave the motors alone.
I really enjoyed the museum tour. Almost like being there!
Thanks Steve ??
Hi,
It sounds as if something is rubbing. The rotation should be silent. Are you certain that the disc is properly clamped?
Ah ok, here BC often means Beocord. My bad, I should have watched the videos. So no.
