Beolover is busy with a few projects and I have two Beogram 4002 Type 5513 projects that I started looking at back in February of 2020. In those posts I sent four Beogram 400x platter motors to Beolover to do his restoration magic on. He finished those motors and they are back in my hands, ready to use.
After getting bogged down with a lengthy Beomaster 4400 restoration I am ready to get back to work on these two Beogram 4002 Type 5513 turntables.
Lets start with the local Beogram 4002 an owner dropped off.
Here is a quick recap of its condition.
A very nice Beogram 4002 turntable. It has some wear on the push buttons as most of these turntables have at this point in their life.
I has a nice MMC-20CL phono cartridge. A consensus favorite among Beogram 400x and 8000 owners.
Inside you can see in the lower left of the Beogram case that the platter motor has already been removed. It has been refurbished by Beolover and will soon go back into this Beogram.
The plastic spring clips for mounting the Beogram platter speed indicator are in perfect shape. So often they are cracked.
The sticker on the transformer verifies this is a Type 5513 Beogram 4002 and shows the serial number.
The tangential arm transport pulley is starting to show some age cracks. I will replace the plastic pulley with an aluminum one.
Now to remove the two circuit boards for my restoration part. That will be to replace the aging capacitors, calibrate the platter speed, install new speed control trimmers and various other tasks I will be showing on this thread.
I will start on the two circuit boards tomorrow.
