Many happy returns Tom. Craig

David you have aPM. Craig

Korpiklaani - Korven Kuningas, a metal band from Finland my son has been listening too. Very good even though I can't understand the lyrics. Craig

Dillen: Depending on the version of Beocord 5000. If the 80s version in same design as the 5500, I have belts for both. Martin Martin's belt kits are excellent quality too. Craig

Well I did think they may be a problem with the cables. Tested them from the plug to the head and there are no problems as far as I can tell. Where does the middle wire from each plug go? As there are three wires at the plug but only two go to each channel of the head. Craig

KingOfSnake: Is anybody using the above and experiencing any problems? Have used Beoport with XP without problems such as mixed sound from PC as well (mixed sound turned off in config panel). Is Beoport Vista friendly? When I tried to install Beoport on my PC running Vista there was one problem. Some albums not all of them, appeared in alphbetical order

Remember that you can of course use some non B&O speakers until you find some. Craig

Pink Floyd - Saucer Full Of Secrets. Had this on CD for a few years now, but never got into it until recently. Craig

How do you test a playback head? At the moment I ma trying to fix a Beocenter 2200 I was given. Last night I fitted a new set of drive belts (Thanks Martin ) Now I can only get sound out of the Left channel. All othere sources work ok and I have swapped the two connectors over that come form the playback herad. This causes no sound in the Right channel

Sorry to hear about your water leaks Martin. Great to see you are working on this project again though. Craig
