If you tried to set the azimut whitout success try to use another head (even if a different quality) and check if there is a signal quality improvement, maybe the problem could be a defective cap.... I have a Beocord whit same problems, louder bump when play start and low quality signal.

Hello Before replacing the tape head try to realign the azimut, take a good tape with a good music and try to find the correct head alignment. If you don't solve let us know

Hi Ray! Really... I havent connected your nick here with the one on youtube!!!!! So I was wondering why in this period so much people is searching so much hinges.... ... I think I'm working too much this period.... If you want to sell what you don't need let me know, I love Beocenters 7 too.

Hello Inside the Beo there are two connectors that can be disconnected to let the unit complitely opens, if someone has inverted the positon the output is inverted too

I'm very happy to find Italian B&O lovers here!
