Description
Set of new motor bearings for the E50 platter motor in the Bang & Olufsen Beogram 3000 type 5210, based on Thorens TD124 mk2.
The set contains:
– Two new bearings.
– Four new oil reservoir felt washers
– Four small bolts and nuts to replace the original rivets holding the bearing cups
– Tool for the bolts
The bearings and felt washers are pre-oiled (impregnated) and ready to fit.
They will arrive oily and should not be wiped or dried before fitting.
It is recommended to clean the motor spindle thoroughly using a soft lint-free cloth with isopropanol alcohol to remove finger-prints and/or any remains of old lubricants before fitting in the new bearings.
Note:
It is perfectly normal, that new bearings need a run-in period in order to build up an even oil film, settle their position and adapt to the spindle.
Danish Sound Parts recommends, that new bearings are run-in under normal load conditions, – that is with the belt fitted and platter rotating (but with the tonearm parked to save needle playing hours) – for at least 48 hours.
A non-stop 48 hours run-in will be best. If done over more sessions each session should be a least 2-3 hours non-stop to allow for proper warm-through etc.
Manufactured by Danish Sound Parts.
