Hi Alain, Much will depend on how you plan to use it. IE:- what are you hoping to connect it to and is remote control necessary? A little more detailed information will get you the answer you need. Chris.

List them on ebay would be my advice. These are still available from B&O at a very reasonable price with 2 years warranty which is where I would personally go if I wanted some (which I don't). I have seen these sell 2nd hand on ebay for more than the RRP. Chris.

[quote user="Peter "] The comparison here is with the SMMC1 and MMC2.

The man is a LEGEND. I cannot start to tell you how he has helped me in the past and he knows he can always rely on me to help him in any way I can - even if it has nothing at to do with Beoworld...... The force is with him (he knows what I mean here) Chris.

Hi Doug, this is one of the few Beograms I haven't actually worked on myself which is why I referred you to the thread in question so I cannot really help with the screws you mention. However the MMC10E is basically a USA market MMC20E (don't ask why ) so the tracking force should be set at 1.5g. As the cartridge is really quite aged there are
