Page 7.3 of the MCL2 system handbook - apart from the signal and ground, there is data and data ground.

Try here .

Any record deck would work - an external RIAA can be hidden and can be regarded just as a junction box. Just choose the deck you like and can afford. You don't have to limit yourself to B&O of course! Michell make some very good looking decks which will probably outperform all Beograms.

Remote is less important for vinyl as you will want to clean the record each time anyway!

Nice one Roger!

Beogram 6000 quad! Has built in RIAA and as the BS4 has no Datalink then remote is not an option anyway. To be honest, I would actually not be worried about the RIAA. I would get the deck you want and use an external RIAA. Probably better quality anyway. I would get a 4000 series deck though! 4000/4002/4004/6000. I would also get a Soundsmith cartridge

Beocord 8002 service manual is now on.

I always thought it used a 2 pin plug - though to be honest a long bit of wire and some Blu-Tac works pretty well shoved into the hole!

I am afraid that the BS9000 does not support Datalink so no control of a Beogram by remote is possible. I believe Ridax may be able to offer a solution though. Try a PM to him. I don't think you will find a B&O RIAA easily either - it would be much easier to add a wire for Datalink - if that were the answer.

No. My BC9500 has Beocenter 9500 written on the flap.
