This project is nearing completion. This post details the remounting of the floating chassis within the cabinet, replacing the reservoir capacitor, and installing the refurbished platter motor.

Here are the parts needed for mounting the floating suspension system back into the cabinet.

The threaded pin’s longer section is positioned at the bottom. When attaching the wing-nut, ensure it sits at the very beginning of the thread. I personally position it to allow enough thread for securing the nut while keeping the nut’s outer edge aligned with the topmost thread. This maximizes clearance for the floating chassis when the lock is disengaged. Rotating the threaded pin adjusts the distance between the two lock nuts, effectively locking or unlocking the suspension system.

Many Beogram 400x turntables have worn-out transport lock bushings. To address this, Beolover has created replacements using 3D printing technology. Pictured is a set of Beolover’s 3D-printed transport lock bushings, totaling six pieces, designed for the three Beogram suspension mounts.

The remaining suspension mount components can now be attached. As with the first wing-nut, I aligned the top of each nut with the start of its respective thread.

Next, we reinstall the reservoir capacitor in the cabinet. The original reservoir capacitor is a dual unit. However, not all Beogram 400x turntables utilize the same type, so careful identification of your 400x model is essential.

I removed the existing wires and installed Beolover’s replacement capacitor assembly.

It looks fantastic. Now, let’s install the platter motor that Beolover refurbished for this project.

A final inspection of the reassembly thus far shows everything is in order.

The next stage involves working on the main and output boards.
