Hi everyone,
I found a Beogram 2000 that fits perfetly with my Beosystem 2000 - love the look!
But functionally it is less than stellar. The motor is making a squeaking and grinding noise (and the sound is distorted, but that's probably the cartridge that's shot.)
Does anyone know the compatibility of the motors in that range? I see they share the same service manual as the 1800 and the 5000 - is it safe to assume they are interchangeable?

Have you checked the motor suspension?
There is a good chance the motor pulley is rubbing on the metal bracket due to failing suspensions.

Thanks Martin,
I will investigate this - and won't miss to add these in my next order!
You were completely right about the rubber suspensions, on eof them was completely squished, while the others were dried up.
Although, even at no load the bad noise continues, here is a video:
Many motors will run a bit noisy unloaded.
Have you tried with a belt fitted?

For future reference, the motor in question is a Matsushita mmx-4h2rpb, it seems to have been fitted on:
- Beogram 1800
- Beogram 2000
- Beogram 5000 and 5005
- Beogram 7000
- Beogram RX2
- Probably a few others...
Thank you for sharing!
I got to the PCB in the motor... I'm guessing I can't go deeper without unsoldering as you said. Do I need to do all the solder points?

You only need to desolder the two larger pads at 12 and 6 o'clock.
