Beogram 5500 platter wont spin
4 replies
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and believe this is my first reach out for assistance.
I recently bought myself a Beogram 5500, type 5941. It has signs of age/use, but looks OK.
I have an issue with it though, as the platter does'nt spin up when I press Turn or Play. What happens is that the platter motor spins ~1/4 turn then stops. At the same time I noticed that the solenoid for the carriage servomotor activates and the servomotor spins for a few seconds before it stops. Also "33" lights up next to the pickup, but that's all.
Any idea what could be the issue?
Thanks, Klaus
Welcome to the forum! I would start checking the power supply voltages per the service manual. Given the units age, it may need new electrolytic capacitors or has a bad regulator.
Record on the platter?

Hi Mark and Martin,
I'll certainly check the voltage supplies. Motor though spins shortly.
Yes, there is a record on the platter when pressing Turn or Play.
