      Hi,

      Glad to have you back Peter! ☺️

      I use the 33/303 a lot myself and enjoy them tremendously. They are ok with B&O period speakers but the really shine with ESL57s and records.

      I’d rate them as being as good as the mighty Beolab 5000.

        Hi,

        I miss the blue theme here. Am I the only one?

          Hi Søren,

          Long time no see!

          No ideas yet, but full moral support in the meantime ☺️

          My own BM 4400 has been in constant, everyday use for about 10 years now, still going strong. Conclusion: they don’t like to be stored…

            There are griplets on the servo board too I seem to remember. Have you done those?

            Also replace capacitors on this board and as well on the CDM board.

            Leave the motor well alone, it will last forever, do to speak.

              Correct. Before, you had no access to service manuals at all, unless you were at least silver I believe. Hence my confusion.

              And the whole website remains desperately sluggish, by the way 😩

                Hi,

                I’ve just renewed my Gold membership. It now works. Damn. I really had no idea. I didn’t get the end of subscription warning as I used to. Sorry.

                  The thing is, downloading just doesn’t work (for me anyway). I’ve tried and tried to no avail.

                  Here’s the (broken) link to the Beogram 4000 SM:

                    Hi,

                    No Adam, you’re not being thick!

                    It doesn’t work for me either. And the whole website is impossibly sluggish too.
                    Whenever I try to download something, it takes me to this:

                      Hi,

                      Do you intend to put back online the invaluable service manuals please?

                      I find those essential and worth the subscription alone!

                        Hi,

                        What annoys me the most is that the whole website is numb. Every action takes time, as if there were too many redirections or something. Click and wait…

                          Hi,

                          I can’t seem to be able to find the service manuals any longer.
                          This is an invaluable ressource for me.

                          Any clues?

                            Will we ever get an app, by the way?

                            Hi,

                            This might work on the mobile now.

                            It does, ta. ??

                              Like Adam, glad to be back here. A little bit of getting used to will be necessary though!

                                  Hi there!

                                  Thanks for the hard work ?

                                  How come I am a bronze member now?

                                    Yes I agree, we need more information please!
                                    By the way, I’ve never been a bronze member — always gold! Odd.

                                      Good thing, the trimmers were already replaced. Follow the service manual to set bias.

                                        Hi,

                                        Entirely worth the efforts. Mine has been to service every single day since its repair 10 years ago. The other day we went out for a few days, the 4400 had been left on. No problem at all. Once restored properly the 4400 is reliable and above all, sounds mighty fine. Mine feeds M70s in the lounge.

                                            1. C’est Hi,

                                            The cartridge rides too high, and looks dirty. A new one seems mandatory here, unless a good clean solves the issue (which I doubt).

                                            The SSMC4

                                            from the Soundsmith comes to mind of course. Highly recommended.

                                            Check your contacts first.
