Beocenter 7000

The turntable of this music centre would only turn if the “turn” key was kept pressed. Pressing “33” or “45” would activate the solenoid but as the motor did not start the mechanism could not engage. What seemed like a complicated fault turned out to have a simple cause, the motor contacts, which are part of the solenoid assembly 15RL1, were so tarnished that they could not pass sufficient current to run the motor. Cleaning and resetting them provided a complete cure. [Beocenter 7000]
