Hi,
I recently bought a complete 3500 system;
- Beomaster 3500
- Beocord 3500
- Beogram CD 3500
- Beogram 3500
all working well for about 3 month now.
However, today the record deck started to do strange things. To begin with it would not start playing - it lowered the stylus to the record, but then immedeately raised it again, after which it would only react to the shut down command. I tried with a single instead, which it did start playing, but then after awhile it got stuck as if there was a scratch on the record - using the shut down command caused it to drag the stylus arm across the record back to the stand-by position without raising the arm....after some time(I guess automatic stand-by timing) it suddenly decided to raise the arm and go into stand-by mode.
Other minor issues;
Beogram CD 3500: works perfectly, but there is noise from the powersupply(I think), that I can best describe as a distinct humming sound.....worn-down power supply?
Beocord 3500: there are a number of double dashed level bars displayed at playback - the first ones are green followed by to red ones - the first of the red ones stays on at all times and only goes out at stand-by. Opening the lid with the "load" conmand, the red bars come on for a long as the lid is moving(?).
If anyone has any ideas about the causes/fixibility of these issues, I would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks in advance.
