I might do my bit for Beoworld Peter - little busy atm though. I recently scanned a diagram of a 4002/4 (as originally recieved with the player) and patched the pages together and it looks soo much clearer. When I get to the printers I will be printing to A3 I think! Only thing is it is in BMP format so it is rather large. I wonder if there are any

This machine is Hitachi based Andy. I think the first examples were philips and I am sure there was a Grundig or something equally wrong later on??? The only vcr B&O fully custom designed was the super slim VX5x00 range. Not sure whos mech they used in these later designs.

I would possibly first check the switch panel. Make sure all the alu buttons are located properly with the bronze springs and that the switches work (especially where they are SPDT i.e. forward / back) You need to be a bit more specific with your symptoms first Soren! What happens when you press on (from standby) exactly...? Also have you had the thing

Hi Jacques here is the pic I promised. Not sure where the tip is on the condition scale tbh. If you want a closer piccy I will try again tonight.. http://www.btinternet.com/~olly_k/IMG_1206.JPG Oh it has a cover too! You can see minor stress cracks but it seems to stay on firmly...

Hi Jacques sorry about my dissapearence things have come up and a bit mad atm... Anyway I have both an SP10 and 14 in front of me.. Unfortunatle the cantalever on the SP10 has a bend but the 14 looks ok. Taking pics as I type will update in a minute....

Yes very good, well done. Two more to go?

[quote user="PhilLondon"] [quote user="Doctor"]Also MoMA just to check what B&O is on display[/quote] No B&O any longer at MoMA :-( [/quote] Does Permenant collection mean somewhere in a basement gathering dust then If I ever go to NY I would love to get into the old exclusive club suit at the top of the Christler building

Just thought I would throw in my pennys worth in! I had this problem with a 4002. It was almost as if there was a residual current holding the solenoid in and if you slightly helped the arm release everything would snap back in place like it should! Measurements revealed no voltage at sol terminals, all the lubrication in the world didn't help with

Jacques I have two cartriges I think an SP12 and 14. I will check to see how they are and take a snap later. Maybe I could send you one to test and then you could decide what you feel it's worth. I will get back to you with a photo in a bit!

Aren't you going to get better sound quality through line level though?
