Hello together ,
I inherited a beautiful Beocenter 3500 from my grandmother and want to use it (mainly) as a turntable. The problem is, that it's playing my records too slowly. It's not reaching the original speed and the speed adjustment poti barely has an effect.
Here is a video of the "sizziling/grinding" sound it makes: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/media/p/333780.aspx
Here is what I already did:
- Set the voltage to 220V (Germany)
- Got a new belt and exchanged it
- Took the motor apart and infused the sinter-bearings with new SAE30 oil under vacuum
Here are my questions:
- How can I measure the rotation/speed? I thought this would be an action to locate the error: is my motor not running fast enough or is the problem somewhere else?
- Do I need to exchange the idler wheel or the rubber on it? It seems a bit stiff and has not much "grip". But I don't want to get the rubber exchanged if the problem lays somewhere else.
Love this forum, already thanks for any hints and tips
