I recently received a Beogram 8002 from a customer in Missouri for restoration. The unit arrived safely packaged in a Beolover double boxed shipping container. I extracted it from the packaging and put it on the bench:
The unit is in decent condition except for a very scratched hood. This could be fixed by installing a new reproduction hood and transferring the original aluminum trim.
The aluminum surfaces are pretty good:
The otherwise nice platter has some damage in the center:
The veneered side panels have the usual chipped corner areas:
I removed the black panel under the arms and found a detached metal shield due to degraded double sided tape:
Like in most Beogram 8002, the main aluminum panel was also loose and came off after removing the tape that held it in place for shipping:
I opened it up to extract the functional parts:
This shows them on my Lazy Susan on the bench:
After making sure everything was put together again correctly, I plugged it in. After pressing start it came alive and moved the carriage a few mm. After the brief motion, the carriage immediately returned home and the deck shut off. Most likely this points to an issue in the << >> keys setup in the keypad.
Let the fun begin!..;-).
