Beogram 5005

2 replies
Hi guys. Was just after some advice please. I am currently working on a project for a client and have been given the task of getting their B&O system up and running after a few years of neglect. I’ve got everything working as expected until when playing a record, the 5005 gets stuck after approximately 1 minute of play. I’ve tried several records but the outcome is the same? I’m no expert on turntables, but it would seem that the arm doesn’t move with the record or track correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and also if it’s a replacement part, is it expensive and/or easy to fit? Thanks in advance, Matt
The most likely cause is that the tracking sensor bulb has blown. Replacement here: https://www.dksoundparts.com/product/lamp-for-tracking-photo-sensor-for-beogram-3000-3300-3500-4500-5500-6500-7000-9500-etc/
