The Beogram 4002 (5513) that I am rebuilding right now is nearing completion. Today, I did the output PCB (#8) and I repaired the keypad which had a loose key stop.
This shows PCB #8 in original condition:
I like to replace the output relay, since they often get stuck on one or both channels as they age. Fortunately, it is the same relay that is used for switching the platter RPM and so my replacement relay boards fit here, too:
These parts are available to other enthusiasts, just send me an email.
This shows the relay and the capacitor replaced:
The red switch allows to connect the system and the signal grounds. This can help if there are hum issues due to improper connections within the amplifier or the cable (usually when RCA adapters are used that do not breakout the system ground).
Before I put the board back in, I also fixed the keypad. It had a loose key stop that caused one of the keys to pop up above the pad surface:
This shows the STOP key from the back with the loose stop:
I glued the stop back on and also reattached the loose pad strips on the sides:
This shows the end result of this repair:
Beautiful! On to adjusting the chassis and the platter.
