Excellent video. Just a point - when dismantling my machine the swing arm at 5'12" was very sticky - probably the main problem. It needed degreasing and relubricating with high-viscosity oil. Also when reassembling the top deck, make sure the spring (4'29") doesn't get caught below the deck. Also the brake pads all fell off! The point about the top oil fence going on the upper side of the capstan shaft has already been made - again a smear of low-viscosity oil won't go amiss here. Thanks again - saved me a lot of time.

Interesting

Very good video

Thanks for this 🇬🇧

Great work on this extremely complex machine. I've got Beocord 5000 3 - head edition same design & mechanics. It still works & I don't dare to open.

First.. Nice video’s!

Found that device together with a Revox B690 on a high shelf in my brothers kitchen. He bought it secondhand together with 2 B&W DM70s in 1980. The turntables were there on that shelf for more than 3 decades. I asked him what kind of devices it were, couldn't see it but when i heard it were a B&O and a Revox turntable i was surprised and very curious to try it. Started with the Revox but when i powered it a capacitor went up in smoke causing a disgusting smell, the B&O worked but the liftingmechanisme didn't work. Took them to my home bike>train>bike. Removed the blown capacitor and the Revox with Shure 97 worked well it seemed but after some time the arm suddenly started to return after just 1 or 2 minutes. Opened the device and i saw 3 Ptc's, two looked ok, one looked terrible, degraded, think 50% was gone, broken off. The others looked OK but might be faulty too. This might be the cause of the unwanted returning of the tone-arm. It's a project i have to finish, think it's best to replace those three and the el-capacitors on that board. The B&O works well after i cleaned and lubricated the arm mechanism, the belt was in a great condition, no degradation during those 30 years standstill. In the beginning the device had some annoying speedvariations after playing 16 til 18 minutes of the record but that solved itself and i don't know how. Reading this story, should i recap the big main capacitors?

Hello, it's not the same deck, but do you know if it's possible to remove the little pieces of plastic of the Beogram 2000, model of the 70's ? I want to clean it

If I want to plug my Beogram 4000 into my amp which has a line in (non-B&O), will I then need a preamp? I will of course need a DIN to RCA but not sure what the audio level is at this point

Hi, I have a Beogram 4002 type 5503 showing exactly the same problem. Any suggestions on where to look? Appreciate the help.

Great video, however I would advice taping down the cartridge in the box with the remote too, just so it’s not bouncing around in there

Hi, is this basically the same set up as a Beomaster 4400, as I need to repair the cord on my 4400.

Yout tips helped me to repair Beogram 4002

Awesome work and video l, my side brackets are broken on my Beogram 3000 I just sent an email to inquire about the price of the kit .

It's time bang and olufsen to produce a tottaly new turntable

Thank you so much for this PRICELESS tutorial!! I was able to fix my non-lowering 4004 arm thanks to this tutorial, so easy to follow. Just for the record, in my case the solenoid was moving okay-ish, the damper was the element entirely stuck so I detached that alone (with its implied joint mechanism), opened it, cleaned it, lubricated it, and now it works very well. I didn't want to have to desolder the solenoid even though I understand it would be ideal to do it, it's on my to-do list for another summer. Thank you once again, you're incredibly knowledgeable and the fact that you decide to just share this is truly amazing, much respect to you sir.

Rudy's shipping kit takes the guesswork out of shipping a 400x Beogram. Everything is included! Well worth the price.

I am a lucky guy i have two of this units !

I have a beo 6000. Working perfectly. Wiped the face with an overly damp rag. No sound. Any suggestions for a novice in ny

Thanks for your efforts. I love your videos. I have a few questions: 1. Have you ever seen a case where the shaft holding the pinch roller becomes loosened, so much so that you can remove the shaft from it's mount? 2. If, God forbid, you happen to loose one of the "friction reducing washers", might you have a suggestion for replacing it? Cheers, re5513

Hi, any idea how to get the cover assembly off so I can see what is going on with the tracking arm set up? It overshoots the LP unless I center the light arm. Not sure if that has a sensor or something but just need to be able to open the unit

Hello sir. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in getting a few of our (Bang & Olufsen) pieces fixed. If you can let me know how to communicate with you. I would greatly appreciate it.

Sehr nett ! Steckt da Wissen aus Deutschland hinter ? Grüsse Rolf / 🙂Weinheim

I like your perfectly sensible and detailed directions. I’m not into this sort of DIY work but I definitely admire those who can tackle this sort of job. I want to have my 4004 renovated and after watching this video I can see I would want this included in a renovation.

How do I adjust the point on the record where the tone arm lowers at the beginning of the record?

Totally enjoyed this, just watching this makes me want to buy one.

Hi, can you use any B&O remotes?

incredibly helpful thank you !

I have had a whole line of these decks, and they sound really great. More so the 9000 model. So, when this was new, it was highly acclaimed, but often criticized as being cheaply built and simple built, nowhere near Nakamichi. Well, the truth of the matter is, that Naks often break down, Beocord 9000 don't do that often. Naks loose caps more often and many, I mean many, parts of the Nak's drive is plastic, where as on the Beocord, near all is metal. Much more sturdy. I prefer the Beocord and the Tandberg sound, which in my humble view is more natural and more full. Naks tend to sound a bit thin and recordings from Naks don't often play well on other decks. And the phone outlet on the Beocord sounds better as well. I have sold my Nak's and keep my Pioneer CT91a, my Tandberg TCD-3014a and want a Beocord 9000 again. And it's dead easy to service. Thanks for posting such good vedeios. Kind regards.

What is the year of this turntable production?

man I messed up. I removed my 1602 lid to ship it. I have no idea how to put it back on it was suggested to remove it once I removed it I realized I don't think my customer is going to be able to put it back on if I can't. Can't find anything online about it.

And for a TX2?

Very impressive upgrade!!! Is there a version for the Beogram TX2?

Hello, I just bought a Bang & Olufsen Beogram 7000 turntable with built in preamp, it has a Din 5-pin male connector, how do I hook it up to a regular system with RCA input jacks? Do I need to get an RCA cable with a ground cable? I wasn’t sure because this deck has a built in preamp. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Do you have a remote control solution for a B&O TX2 turntable? Found your solution an excellent idea.

Hi, can the commander be paired with a B&O Beoremote one, Halo or Essence remote?

Hello Rudy, thanks for this video, helped me a lot to understand whats going on with my BG4000, sadly ruined an MMC20E cartridge because the arm started to move in reverse mode while the needle was on the record and snapped off the tip of the stylus. I'm still not sure why this happened as the aperture never been adjusted before, screw in factory position with the original paint dot seal on it. This is driving me crazy because everything looks okay, tonearm is paralel with the sensor arm , when Im moving the tonearm by hand invards to the center of the record the tracking motor advancing in the right direction. What I am missing ? Do you have an advice what I need to check ?

Thought we were getting some Steely Dan at 6:30 there.No such luck.

Thanks so much for the video; huge help. (I found that the opening of an 11mm Craftsman socket nested inside 5/8” socket made a perfect backer for that upper bearing retainer, when it was time to crimp its ears from above.)

would really love to see a series on the Beogram 2400 hood.

I am new to the 4002 turntables. Thank you for the education!

If i had a vacuum sealer, do you think it would be of benefit to vacuum seal the bearing with some oil for 24 hours?

Hi, I have a beogram that needs some repair. Do you have a way I can contact you to get an estimate?

incredible video 'how to ' . thanks for that

I have had problems where the part is not broken but the lid doesn’t open . So I glued a small piece of felt on to the top part of the small piece and for now the panel closes and opens

Awesome

Thank you

Awesome video!! Could you please tell me what records are those? Love Blue Note! Thanks

Hi quick question. I have a 4002 and a 4004. My 4004 when I play a 45record it's speed fluctuates and sometimes stops. It also goes to the normal 33 spot where it comes down and not to the 45 position. Any help would be great thanks. Love your vids
