Beogram 1102 lubrication points

2 replies
Hello all, I would appreciate some input on my effort to revamp a Beogram 1102 that was in the family. I obtained some parts already and working my way. Changed the belt, changed the stylus with a new Soundsmith, lubbed the commonly stuck auto-lift brass pin. Will be changing the toothed belt for the pitch too. I used a specialty oil by Technics for the auto-lift specifically for turntables. So far ok, and the 1102 plays ok. Had to adjust the VTA (crazy surprised that this had adjustable VTA) as the new Soundsmith had a different height that the vintage MC3000. I noticed while accesing the underside alot of dried up grease - off white in color, like the photos below. Got myself new grease (from Danish Soundparts) but not sure where to lube with grease and where with oil. Should I pull the motor out and lube its bearings? Also same question for the tonearm. Seems to be ok, but would assume a tiny touch of oil in the gimbal pins would be good after all these years. Should I lube the main spindle, or simply lube the spindle from above and let gravity take the oil down. Not sure what the grease in the three big areas did at first place. The service manual I have does not show lub points unless i have a partial one. Any input much appreciated or any other advice on what to pro-actively take care off while at it.   Many thanks!    
Καλησπέρα, επειδή μόλις απέκτησα ένα Beogram 2202 και εσύ φαίνεσαι εμπειρος στα Β&Ο, θα μπορούσες να μου δώσεις οδηγειες πως μπορώ να το συνδέσω σε έναν κλασικό ενισχυτή με εισόδους Phono, Tape και AUX? Ευχαριστώ
