The 2200 is a fascinating design. It is built in a similar way to the televisions of the day as a series of modules. The wiring is also unusual as the different modules are joined by pins which are themselves connected using wire wound around the pins. I remember when I bought my 2400 that Denis Carr told me that the 2200 was far superior and was almost

I take it that you have tried the other plugs as well? I see no reason why it won't work. Pin 2 is earth which will be common to all the pins and then the other four are either inputs or outputs.

I'll give clues!! No-one correct yet though a couple are very close!

Have actually managed to get hold of the service manual for this set and it is now scanned and on site.

Assuming the correct plugs are being used, I would actually suspect the cartridge. The MMC6000 is a wonderful cartridge - or at least was. I have several and none of them will now track a quad record due to the suspension hardening and the stylus wearing. The 6000 had a Pramanik profile stylus mounted on a Beryllium cantilever. The profile is a modified

Departs , trailing smoke and heading fast towards the ground!

You're probably correct! Just a thought!

But quite fun! I would suggest a price based on what you can expect to pay on eBay - with a margin. For instance a Beolink 7000 seems to go for about £300-350 these days. One would expect a few small marks and it may well need a new battery - had mine replaced - cost about £5!! I think a guide and maybe a list of things to look for. Perhaps

By the way - love the car - ID safari?

European models have a switch for altering the voltage. Hopefully your US one will as well! It is on the service manual! I would suggest getting a European Beogram 4000/4002. You can buy a step up transformer anyway for the Beomaster if you really have to! The obvious CD player is the CDX which can work with any of the Beomaster right back to the 900
