Beogram 1000 motor voltage

Hello to all, 

Although I only registered today I've been reading and learning a lot with this forum, I want to thank you all =)

I'm fixing a B&O 1000 type 5202 turntable from a friend of mine that had a dead motor managed to find a compatible donor - a BO 1500 turntable/amp without tonearm.

I noticed that in the 1500 the voltage sticker was labeled 110v. 

When I replaced the motor, I noticed that it was getting very (very very) hot. 

In the internet I found several BO 1000 models with a voltage selector switch, and others with a huge resistance in the mains connection. (photos attached)

Will a similar resistance work as a step-down 220v to 110v? Does anyone knows the value of the resistance? Or should I check for other issues?

The motor coils have a nice reading - 219/219

Thanks in advance

Hi,

for 220V these both coils have to be connected in series. Don't know where the resistor goes...

Only test out which wire go together and which go to the mains. Only in one combination the motor is running smoothly. You cannot destroy it, when you try a short time.

Hi, 

Thank you for your help.

 

It seems that someone replaced the voltage switch with a junction box, and I guess that it is connected in parallel (110v), and this was what toasted the original motor.

 

So, considering the schematic and the photo, I should connect the black and yellow wire that come from the on/off switch?

 

Thanks in advance

Not exactly the black and yellow but the other side of the switch. Otherwise you have no on-off function. In other words you have to simulate the 110 - 220 V switch (the 2 arrows in the middle belong together, just as painted)

Thanks!

 

All working right now. Someone had the turntable connected for 110v and this fried the other motor. Just waiting for a replacement stylus
