Je kunt bij schalplattennadeln.de defecte MMC naalden laten repareren, en upgraden, door een duurdere naald en cantilever er op te laten zetten. Zo kun je van een MMC5 een MMC2 laten maken. De ophanging schijnt volgens die site er geen verschil in te maken dus ik denk dat inderdaad het verschil hem zit in cantilever en naaldje!

Sorry for bumping this back up, another post here reminded me I promised to post a picture of the result for this so here it goes, for future reference!

[quote user="joeyboygolf"]This has been done by one of our members, although I have not seen the result.[/quote] Here it is! Worked fine, the shiny panel looked really nice. No guarantee though, the guy I sold the beomaster to later told me the panels turned down in the quality check for BM4500 were sprayed flat gray and used on the 3500 so

You are right, I had this problem with a BG3000 tangential which is in essence exactly the same turntable. The moving of the carriage to the middle affects the balance of the platter and at the end of the record this makes the platter scrape the outside of the machine, especially with heavy LP's. Adjust/play with the suspension setting with the

Jaff, you have very sharp eyesight! The miniature is a little BC2500 with BL2500 attached, made out of wood and painted by a good friend of mine. He's a student too, and bought a beocenter 2500 as his first piece of B&O about two years ago. Nothing has been the same ever since, as the beocenter turned out to be contaminated with some kind of

Hello everyone, Inspired by all your beautiful pictures I'd like to share one of mine. It's a bit too dark, taken on a cold winter day here in Holland, earlier this year, so I was reluctant to post it but can't resist anymore. This is my student home, BM3000 with BG2000 hooked up to the PC through a quality M-audio sound card for digital

Dear fellow beo-fanatics, I have my eyes on a neat rosewood beocenter 7700, with MCP7700, and a working cartridge. Only drawback seems to be the tapedeck is not working, and it's not because the belts are bad. What would you be prepared to pay if you'd like to have one as your main music system? Seller asks 175 euro's, seems kinda much to

Hi Martin, Why would you prefer carbon types? Closer to original? Is a higher power rating the reason B&O used the big carbon comp resistors? I always wondered why they were still used even in 1980's equipment as they are said to be rather unreliable and lossy in comparison to carbon film or (said to be even better) metal film. That said, B&O

Wow, great job on those PCB's, Mohawk! Looks really neat! Must be an exciting project to work on! I dream of having my own BM8000 someday. I wonder what it's going to sound like with all these modern components in the power amp instead of the old carbon comp/film resistors and ceramic/electrolytic caps. Do you have an 'original' BM8000

[quote user="Dillen"]White BC7700's are not very common so I would never convert a white into wood. Find a nice wood one instead.[/quote] Well, all I've seen here in Holland so far are white ones! I agree though, I don't like the idea of chopping up a B&O original. I'm not in a hurry so if I can I'll get a wood one
