There is a standard for the position of the lead-in groove. If your Beogram has been correctly adjusted and set up, the problemis with the record - and yes, that happens. Not all records live up to the standard.

The turntable is probably catching on the flat grey cable. Press it down a little.
I have seen this on numerous occasions after I have rebuilt a deck.

I remember a few years ago I stripped down and rebuilt a 2200 and the timing system was built on cogs/belts. All I remember is that you had to have the parts in exactly the right position with respect to the other bits or it would be out of sync so I vowed never to do it again.
As with a lot of these things, take pictures before you touch it so you know exactly how to put it back the way you found it. But I think we curently have a summary of
I'm not sure but is it possible to test replacin the platter with a cardboard disc with some holes cut in it? That way you could have the record raised to the normal height to test if that cable is clipping/brishing against the turntable when it's spinning.
Also make sure you're really careful with the stylus or maybe remove it if you're working on it. A Friend of mine managed to damage a working MMC4 a while back and I think the swearing was heard about a mile away!
My copy of the endless river by Pink Floyd is smaller than the rest of my record collection and the arm on my BG6002 misses the record and slips off. All other albums are fine. Some of the new Beatles Re-masters wont fit onto the centre spindle on that particular deck either. Strange!
You can make the deck work with no platter on so you can see/hear what is happening.
First remove the cartridge for safe keeping.
With the platter and black plastic disc removed press play while holding the black centre of the turntable down as if it had an album on it.
Allow the turntable to spin under your finger until the moving carriage comes to the play position, now allow the black centre to rise.
The turntable will continue to "play" and you can see/hear what is happening to the "inards" of the deck.
My money is still on that ribbon cable touching the arms of the turntable as it revolves.
If you have or can get a cheap BG3300 you can transfer the sprung chassis, complete with all the working gears, into the BG8500. Simples!
