Thanks Graham - I do appreciate this! Your smiley also put a big smile on my face! Anyway, I will decline your friendly offer because another member actually did the same. I now have to send the MMC over to Axel and I will be able to run comparisons with the other Beograms I've got - 3000, 4000 and 8000!

Yes Peter I entirely agree. First of all I hadn't realized who was behind Stemma... Again, sorry. But eBay is full of eager peole who sell objects which are in fact "just changing hands with err... a profit" ! Of course not the case here. They are getting costly nonetheless, until you realize they are not made anymore, and that serious

Oops, sorry. I hadn't realized the seller was Graham. I apologize, please erase my post, make me disappear from the surface of the planet...

Here! Edited. Have you seen the prices these Beograms fetch these days?

Or Letraset transfers and black and white film...

Okay, seriously, you have to fix these beautiful pieces of classic B&O equipment. They are totally worth the effort and while you're at it, find a nice Beogram 4000 to complement them! Everybody here will be glad to help you! Can we get pictures please? We do love them here!

Are you out of your mind??? Don't you dare doing that. Never. Oh dear! :-)

Thanks for the piccy Mika. Where on earth will I find one? Not inside the deck mind you, I've already been there!

By the way, there is no 33/45 indication, just two red lights. Is anything missing?

Hi, I'm pretty sure Martin will find you a coil ! This is in fact like a small speaker or microphone without a cone or dome, and I have repaired many, often tweeters, by just pulling one turn of wire and resoldering/reglueing it to the alu foil with special varnish. But you'll need a 15W iron and a steady hand!
