Hello
Good day to all,
I will not praise enough how eclectic and beautiful the 1202 is, the platter with those pentagonal dispossed rubber pegs, the sleek arm, and the purity of lines and absence of additional elements that might distract you from the intrinsec beauty
I bought this 1202 (see attached photo) from a seller in the UK with the "non working" tab on it
i previously owned a 1203 which problem was an incorrect belt, so I was ready to the challenge
Received the 1202 and it was frozen, yes, changed the UK-plug, opened the rear cover and cleaned the dust by blowing it with compressed air, cleaned all the shafts and pivots with very thin MoS2 oil and placed a new correct rubber belt
to my surprise and happyness it started moving with a permanent noise comming from the iddler wheel
all functions were working well, the lift button makes the platter spin and the arm moving, ...
the rumble of the iddler Wheel was horrible, so after Reading some comments on hardened rubber wheels i decided to soak it in glycerine for some time, clean the excess and make the turntable spin for hours
this came back as a correct thing, rumble started to decrease to become an acceptable rumour
so plugged the turntable and tested the sound of it, all was good, speed was good,
this is it
Ok
so i registered to this fórum and traced the 1202 lazy motor issue and find no response
i have read and amazing detailed restoration of another model turntable motor with the oil infused bearings and so on by Mr. Rudy Beolover, but can not tell if this is the way. Mr. Rudy himself recommended me to write in here
well let me describe the symptoms
when i start the turntable for the first time after more than one day it starts extremely slooooooowwwwly, extremely, brutally slowly
it might take 2 to 4 minutes to reach the right speed, then for the rest fo the time the turntable will perform flawlessly, perfect, both in 33 or in 45 rpms, all the time needed, one, two, three hours, all fine
...until next day :-( ....and again a lazy start
as i mentioned, i greased all the shafts, including the motor shafts with Molybdene bisulfur oil, but i know nothing about this particular motors, if they have the bronze bearings infused with oil or not, no idea
any help will be highly appreciated
regards
arsen
thank you for your answer
did you re-infused oil into your bearings by yourself ?
you said it helped a lot, was it not solved ?
p.s. yeah i got a Wheel from Martin, and i subscribe the belt point, got it from him, thank you
thank you very much for your answer Peter,
any tips on the process of reinfusing
how difficult is to remove the motor from its place ?
and the bearings ? do you have to de-solder anything like in the case of the Beogram 4002 bearings that Rudy did on his Beolover
blog ? the motor is different hence my question
It's much different. I apparently don't have the pictures anymore from when I did mine. Moderate difficulty. Take lots of pictures as you go, it can be a bit of a puzzle the first time putting it back together.
With infusing, I heated the oil when I did my BG4002 and I got more bubbles from the bearing, so I'm assuming that helped.
thank you Peter
moderate difficulty will be difficult to meassure :-)
which kind of oil do you recommend to use ?
Arsen
fantastic
so a mineral oil ?
thank you
