The BC5500 is an autoreverse deck. Very practical but not as good a deck as the 5000. Time, well that's nothing we can help you with, I'm afraid. Smoke smell; If it's nicotine it's tough to get rid of and it will take time but it's not impossible. If it's the smell of burned electronics, it's probably in the power supply

Versions with built-in turntable were also available (Beomaster 900RG). The Beomaster 900 is

Hi Phil, and welcome to Beoworld ! Your Beogram will need cleaning and lubrication to the speed change mech. Martin
