Grundig 4A repair
Hello,
I have recently got one of these: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/grundi...a_rc400ms.html The autochanger spindle has fallen out, and I would love to repair it. I have managed to remove the black turntable deck, and I can see a spring has also come loose. To fix this I need to remove the whole turntable to get underneath it. Anyone know how? Cheers, |

Re: Grundig 4A repair
There are a couple of posts posts this site from members with this radiogram which can be found by searching Bergamo GB (Grundig) who are best to deal with the turntable itself.
Generally, the turntable can be removed following removal of the back cover enabling access to the underneath of the unit. The turntable can be released from the plinth by first disconnecting the audio and mains connections and then, where the suspension springs are located, turn the securing clips through 90 degrees. The unit is then withdrawn. Ideally, you need to obtain the turntable service manual. Chris |

Ah, as I thought, the turntable is a Philips Model 22GC060. The Service Manual is available on Vinyl Engine and Electrotanya.

Not on these models, you may find underneath the turntable are two screws securing metal tabs which when the screw is undone move back and allow the turntable to be lifted out. Otherwise at the front of the record deck you can just about get a screwdriver in to move a bar which is holding the deck in. CAUTION: With the turntable removed, there are three small ball bearings which can fall out and get lost. Its best to remove them when the deck is in situ. |

Re: Grundig 4A repair
Thank you for the information so far.
I have lifted the turntable out and have found two different loose spindles that must have slipped under the table when a previous owner was trying to repair it. Neither spindle looks like the correct one, anyone know where I could buy one from? |
