Hello, new member here.
I have a Beogram 8002 given to me by my father years ago. I had it serviced then, and after using it a few years I put it in storage, until recently when I set up a second system. I find when recording to cd the recording is noisy, as though there is bearing noise coming through. I dont remember the noise before.
I am interested in any opinions, and if lubrication is necessary, I ask for a little hand holding. I am not familiar with this deck. And the service manual does not help. Other than the noise the deck works well and I wouldn't want to ruin it.
Thanks

Lubricating a noisy Beogram 8002

It would be best that you post a sound clip of the noise as it’s too generic to assist. I would suggest to record with the tonearm lowered next to the record and also in a a silent groove to compare.
Unfortunately I didn't know how to record and post a clip. After researching and concluding I was not qualified to work on this deck, and there not being an option for local service, I decided to put it back in storage today. I lifted the platter to tighten the shipping locks and it turned out I had not loosened them when bringing the deck back in service. I loosened them up and the thing is nice and quiet as it should be. I feel a bit like an idiot, but am glad it worked out ok.
