Hi,

Can anyone help me to find a replacement drive wire for a beogram 6500. This has been playing up for a while, missing the record edge despite all attempts to adjust it, went to use it tonight and found the drive wire tangled all over the place. It seems to be intact but I wonder if it has stretched and therefore came off.

Any help appreciated,

Clive

The wire is made of a sturdy material and I don't think it'll stretch, much if at all.

More likely the small plastic tab in the carriage that the wire attaches to has snapped off - quite common, and especially so if you have been messing about with the wire a lot trying to adjust it.

It's a relatively simple fix with an M3 bolt & nut (don't bother trying to reattach the original tab). I'm sure somebody will post a few links to past threads on the subject - I can't even find mine at the moment Big Smile

I did wonder if this had happened as both loops at the end are in tact.

I've searched and can't find the threads you mention, if someone could find them it would be really helpful.

OK, next step, seems I fix one problem and end up with a different one.

I've used the nut and bolt fix, worked a treat AND I have now got the arm to drop on the record edge.

BUT, it plays 1 - 2 tracks fine and then starts to jump, lift the arm and replace it carries on for another track. Seems that the arm is not moving across fast enough and the arm gets to far ahead and simply jumps out of the groove.

Any suggestions ?

Hi Martin,

Nothing broke, it plays perfectly for 1 maybe 2 tracks if I'm lucky then starts jumping. If I lift it and put it back down it may play for another track then starts jumping again ???

Sounds like the carriage is no longer tracking correctly.
Probably the lamp and/or LDR in the tracking sensor assy.
Quite often the LDR, actually.
