Hi Langers & welcome to Beoworld. B&O don't make pens but they have in the past given them as corporate/dealer gifts, usually supplied by other manufacturers with the B&O logo applied.

Have you taken the plastic casing of the plug apart & checked the soldered connections inside? The reason I mentioned the DIN plug is they have to be pretty much "bent" to enable you to connect to the phono input and often suffer as a result. You can check the continuity with a multi-meter by opening the deck and testing each pin of the
