Beogram 8000 Forward Reverse does not work.

3 replies
My Beogram 8000 5615 are working well on all functions except that the Forward and Reverse buttons are dead. Press Play and the arm moves to the start point, the arm lowers ok, play to the end and returns nicely to the home position. The < << and >> >  buttons look and feel fine, but absolutely nothing happens when they are pushed. Can anybody please give me a hint what to look for?
Those controls are actually photoresistive and depend on a lamp on the board to operate. It likely burned out, or there is a bad solder connection.
Thank you for your answer, I'll open it up and see... Problem solved: I bought a new lamp from www.dksoundparts.com/  It is installed and everything works perfect.
