Over the weekend, I made progress reassembling the Beogram 4002, focusing on the cabinet trim and deck cover. To prevent damage, I had previously removed the rosewood trim.

The trim is attached to a metal frame that slides in and out to lock and unlock the cabinet. This frame relies on five guide washers, which are commonly broken in Beogram 4002 units. This one was no different. These washers have a unique design, as detailed in a past Beolover blog post.

This Beogram now has replacements for these washers, thanks to 3D printed versions from Beolover.

While it might seem possible to use standard flat washers as substitutes, the specially designed printed parts are essential for correctly assembling the Beogram cabinet. As explained in the Beolover blog post, these washers act as guides for the cabinet locking frame to slide smoothly.

While attaching the cabinet trim and lock, I discovered the frame was separating from the rosewood along the front.

This separation needed to be fixed with epoxy before I could proceed. Gluing it wasn’t a good option due to the risk of mess and potential damage. To work on it safely, I carefully removed the trim piece. To protect the rosewood finish, I covered it with painter’s tape, preventing scratches or glue residue. The picture shows the areas prepared for the epoxy.

I used small clamps, similar to the larger ones in my workshop, which are ideal for delicate tasks like this.

For this repair, I opted for slow-drying epoxy, which allows ample time for cleanup and adjustments. I let it dry overnight.

The following morning, the trim and locking piece were ready. I attached it to the cabinet using the five guide washers. The fit is snug and visually appealing.
