Hi All,
I've gone through a Beogram 3000-5231 (same as Beogram 1202), and have a final issue. The Turntable goes through normal functions when it's upside down on my bench, however, when upright in operating mode, there is no activity after pressing the LIFT key, although the motor is running.
I've observed that when the LIFT button is pressed and the TT is in an upright position, the cam-lifting wheel E is not engaged by the gear wheel D located on the turntable shaft. I can see the transparent tooth on C emerge due to the action of the solenoid arm A, but there is a 1-2 mm gap between it and gear wheel D. When I turn the cam wheel slightly with my finger, the mechanism goes through a normal cycle. It looks like that gear-cam distance or orientation is off just slightly.
The cam wheel does have a certain amount of radial play. I checked the needle bearing on the TT shaft, etc., and see very little play. The gear wheel looks okay, no wear noticeable. Is there a way to adjust any of this to get them closer together, a worn out part that needs to be replace, or am I missing something?
Much appreciate any help! I'd love to get this TT running.
