I think they should rename this the Coolskin Show!

Mr10Percent: We are not all funny folk who stink of wee and wear white lab coats and have big foreheads, oversized pinnas and have nothing.....nothing in their life except their hi-fi mag collection and a cat called "Miff". 10% You have been spying on me again, haven't you?

Tried splitting it but not as easy as it seems - just lost 3 posts - apologies - they are, like the truth, somewhere out there! I suggest we leave alone or get someone clever like Keith to do it rather than this idiot! I hate these Beolab 5 threads - I will end up buying some if you lot keep on!

The service manual is on site.

The speakers are still well worth having and the record player sounds as good as almost any made by B&O. The Beocenter has a superb amplifier and is a forgotten master.

The Beolab Penta is actually a powered speaker rather than an active one in reality as the cross over is passive and above the power amplifier. The later Beolab speakers had

There is a speed adjustment though it may be that the speed could be slow for a couple of other reasons. Check the belt - this is a round section belt and can be loose. They are available through specialists but are expensive! You can perform minor surgery by removing a small piece and sticking the two ends with super glue - but this is last resort
