Not really B&O but close. This deck was produced by "Skandinavisk Radio & Televission" (SRT). The used to build the record decks for B&O. I'm looking for service manual or any other technical info for this deck. Planning to use it together with my Bandmaster.
//Bo.A long list...
I take it you found this link. Martin no doubt will have a number of these and I am sure will be along!

I did, but I need the service manual, the mechanics isn't working as supposed.
Isn't it basically a Beogram 1000 in a different guise? I've seen the His Master's Voice variant (with the butt ugly tonearm) on some flea market and all the speed controls etc. seemed just the same.

Similar but not really the same. This one seems to be fully automatic, it has also a setting for the record size.
Mechanically it's something between Beogram 1000 & Beogram 1200.What's not working?
Oh, and SRT already built for HMV, EMI and Triotrack a.o. (quite similar decks with more or less parts from theindividual brands own productions) when B&O entered the party.They were in fact taken over by B&O at some point and based in Copenhagen they built a lot of the older radial decks, practicallyall from Beogram 1000 up.Their final product was the Eddy-current motor for the Beogram 8000.

These part where found loose inside.

The upper of the two lose parts look deformed but maybe it's correct like this.I never saw a servicemanual for any of these decks (besides the B&O ones) so if onecan't be found, I suppose the best reference would come from looking at a similar working deck.Any other owners out there ?
This seems to be the Triotrack version,

I cannot tell if something is going on under the platter but it can't be much.It's "only" a semi-automatic deck; It will start, swing in the tonearm, lower and play. At the end of the record it will raise the tonearm and stop.You will have to push the tonearm back to park position manually.
Dillen:The upper of the two lose parts look deformed
Yes it's deformed, but I don't want to try to correct it until I know its function and supposed placement.
After looking in the BG1200 service book I see some resemblance. I do have an 1200 deck so I will open that one up to see if I can get any clues.
Dillen:This seems to be the Triotrack version
Beogram 1200 is also semiautomatic. It's a good idea to compare to it.Yes, I've had one or two of the HMV version too.There was also a Labcraft version if I'm not mistaken.
Found this int the BG1200 service book. It gave me a hint of the function.
First i straightened the deformed part.
Sub assembly
Mounted on wheel.

Good old steel mechanics, I love that, and good work Bo
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Wow! Working fine again!
Well spotted!And a very rewarding repair, I'm sure :-)
