Thanks, will use the advice. Brian

Trying to rescue a BM 5500. Does anyone have suggestions for reliable N.A. parts dist. for trans./diodes/res.? I would prefer a 'one stop' if possible. I may be dreaming. I understand these days that the internet makes the process 'global'. Not trying to exclude anyone, reliability, service, speed and selection are most important. Thanks

This is my newly acquired, 'poor condition' BC9500. I haven't delved in much. mains cord cut. But It's in better condition than I hoped. Bought it off Craigslist from Florida, 2190 miles away. Managed to get the CD door open with the screwdriver'trick' (thanks, forum). But the mechanism is a little loose from shipping, so I had

Yes, I know the overwhelming respnse is "DON'T!!". But if one needed to ship a set, are there any suggestions one could give the sender short of gluing the drivers, as they aren't comfortable with that.

Well, the link is gone. So I hope they went to a good, worthy home. On to the next!

Anyone have a ballpark for a good set of BL5000's?

I am going to leave the speakers by the dumpster at 915 N Wetherly Drive West Hollywood, CA 90069. When I see that they are gone I will remove this post. First come first serve. They work great and they are MAD

Thanks, Martin. The picture actually came through more clear on my cell. It's the keypad that is hard to read (for my eyes, anyway). I think that now I can get the second key from the top on the right side. That's the INDEX button next to STOP? Is that the control that tells the player to scan through the first bit of each track, or is that

Does anyone have a good image of a CDTerminal, for reference? In addition, how about pics of the remote receiver PCB6? Thanks, Brian.
