I have an (almost) mint condition Beogram 1600 turntable that needs a bit of work. It was a gift from my uncle years ago that has worked beautifully until it was manhandled by a moving company and now is giving me some issues. While the tonearm still positions itself over the record, it immediately returns and stops spinning.
I have partially dismantled the TT as can be seen in the photo. It appears that there may be a broken catch underneath the large gear in the center, however as I can find no technical manuals online for this model I am wary about disassembling further. I am hoping someone on here can point me towards a technical manual, repair shop, or give me some advice about how to restore my TT to working order. I know parts are at a premium for these models, however I do have a friend with a 3D printer so I should be able to manufacture anything I may need. Thank you in advance for your help!
Welcome to Beoworld !Most parts can be found but could you please upload your photo to our server - or at least to a service, thatdoesn't require membership?Martin
Ah! My bad! First post, new here, one moment I'll take care of it.
UPDATE: I've been poring over a technical manual I've found for the Beogram 1700. I believe the issue in question lies with pieces 1535-1540, or the equivalent on my 1600. If anyone can shed some further light on this, or at least give me an indication that I'm going in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Attached is a screenshot of the relevant page.
