I bought something on Ebay years ago called “liquid bearing”.

Ok, Thanks.

Hello,

Sometimes (and more often since a few time), the arm of my Beogram 6006 does not return to parking position at the end of the disc.

It happens when the end-groove is very close to the center, so the reading arm is far on the label.

When pressing stop, I hear the motor spinning but the arm does not move. Same with the fast return key.

It looks as the moving cart has gone out of the guiding spindle.

Today, I solved the problem by moving this spindle by hand, but it is not satisfactory.

A played a “shorter”LP with a larger end-groove palyed without problem.

Can I check something?

Thanks by advance,

Yann.

Replace the wedge-shaped belt for the carriage motor.

Also dirt and/or dry lubricants towards the leftmost end of the threaded spindle can cause
excess friction and make the belt slip.
Clean the threaded shaft and add a handful tiny drops of teflon oil.

Thanks Martin,

I found the belt on Beoparts, but I absolutely don’t know where to find the teflon oil.

Is there a brand/name that you can recommend?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hi Martin,

The new belt is arrived and I sourced teflon bicycle oil for dry condition.

A question: How to remove safely the transport in order to clean the threaded spindle and what attention points should I take care of?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Update:

Belt exchanged.

Threaded spindle cleaned withoud removing the arm. Not perfect but I did what I could.

Then lubrification with the above-mentioned lubricant.

The arm acts now as designed.

Let’s hope it will last.

I’d liked to have the BG recapped, but it’s out of my competencies.

Yann.
