Hello Beoworlders,
I have owned a Beogram 5005 since new! Sadly it has had little use and has been kept in a cupboard for more years than I care remember. The model is Beogram 5005 - 5921 serial no. 3250104 and I bought it from Berry's in Holborn.
With the growing popularity of vinyl's I decided to give it a try. The two rubber drive belts had deteriorated and my first task was to replace them - not a particularly difficult task I might add.
But [there is always a but as we know] When the 7 pin DIN lead was plugged in to my lovely Beomaster 5000, and a vinyl placed on the platter the only sign of life was the red speed indicator light! Not good! So I removed the platter again, pressed start, and noted that the motor near the rear, which I presume drives the tone arm, was rotating. However the motor that drives the platter was stationary with no sign of life, so I guess this is where the problem lies.
So my question is this. What now? Can anybody advise me on the best sequence to get everything working again? I would add that my skills are a bit limited!
Anyway many thanks to you and to BeoWorld
Can the platter motor be rotated by hand or has it seized?

Hi Martin,
Yes the platter can be rotated by hand.
Thanks

- And the motor?
Yes Martin, the motor can be rotated by hand as well. I hope this helps

Thanks for your interest Dillen. However I am still trying to find a solution to my stationary platter. I just wonder if there are some sensors somewhere that need replacing?
Or I could try and remove the motor perhaps - but does anyone know whether refurb motors are available?
Or better still can you or anyone else on this great Forum suggest a vintage repair specialist in the UK that I can contact?
Many thanks,
Check transistor TR4, TR5 and in particular TR6.There should be apprx 12V DC on the emitter pin and apprx 5V DC on the collector pin of TR6 when the motor is supposed to run.
