I have at least three DIN cables so I guess I could use one to make this new cable. Indeed it looks better if it has a moulded plug. Replacing the mains lead could be reasonable too as the original is a bit yellowed. I had a quick clean with the (B&O) stylus brush and cotton bud dampened to distilled water - I did it very carefully not to break

Thanks! I also thought of different kind of glues but as the knob must remain deattachable it can't be glued. No matter really - the speed is now corrected and I won't need change it too often. What kind of cable you used for the new DIN cable? I recon it should be some well shielded. I might have that many DIN cables that I could use one for

Some time it took but here are the results. I took out the speed changer mechanism and cleaned it thoroughly. With some PRF 7-78 (contact cleaner and lubricator) I was able to get the fine-speed-adjust mechanism moving: it was just jammed. Unfortunately the knob's "plug" for it was already cracked (by trying to turn it with force) - it

I had already loaded the serive manual but I seem to have skipped the parts I need at first read. Now I had another look and yes: looks easy. The picture made clear how the speed changer mechanism is there and now I know how it should come off. The belt seems to be fine - I was just preparing for the worst! I will give it a new try this evening.

It took three days to verify who the owner was but finally it was solved and he said he won't need it and I was more than happy to collect the Beogram. I guess this is one of those "once in the lifetime" founds! I didn't mention the 78 rpm mode but yes, it is there so this is the older one. Ok, I shall leave the platter to be. If the

Hello all. I was cleaning a basement of a friend's father's office and I found a nice Beogram 1000 with it's original styrox packet. It was buried so deep under other stuff that I think it was hardly used for years. I asked and it was given to me for free! However, there are some small troubles. The mains plug was wrong type so I replaced

Nice to see that you too have a Beocord 5000, Matt. Is it working well? I have too and I have came up with one mostly working one. It plays but recording is not working and there are also some troubles getting it fast forward as the control board for those is bent and thus partly cracked and it works only in some angle. I have the spare board somewhere

Medogsfat: The recapping certainly blew away my doubts about the performance of these speakers - really worth the time, effort and every cent of the kit. Yes. It doens't take too much time or effort depending on your soldering skills. When I replaced the caps to my S75s (which are four-way speakers) I took the huge woofer unit off (desoldered the

Craig: So replacing the capacitors in the crossovers does make a difference then. Worth thinking about for any future speaker restorations I do. It indeed makes a difference! When I bought my Beovox S75 speakers they sounded quite well. During some cleaning I noted the caps and had a quick search on this forum and found an interesting thread about crossover

gary: I tried just contact cleaner (LTV) at first which improved the switches somewhat but still not satisfactory. Then I tried contact cleaner plus lubricant from Radio Shack and that did it. The switches and slider pots now work as new, solid contact and smooth action. Hi. I have a Beomaster 3000 (same as the 3000-2 with just some small changes).
