Well, err.. thanks, my pleasure. It's always satisfying to get a dead B&O going again. Glad that I could help. Martin

Jim, welcome to Beoworld ! 4, How big is that thing, exactly ? 1, No. They are long out of production but I have a little stock of good used original speaker drivers and I'm sure, I can supply one. If the other one is fine, no need to replace it but I suggest you add a bit of 2-comp. epoxy glue around the magnet as described elsewhere. That's

Wonderful to see these things in actual use rather than behind glass. I agree, they have a unique sound, Martin

Yes, I have one. You have a PM ! Martin

The CD50 does not have a captured (permanent) cable. A Beocord cable will work fine, no need for double shielding. Martin

Great to see Beoworlders helping eachother ! Please note that Beogram turntable datalink cables are different from Beocord tapedeck cables. The Beocord cable is two-way (record and playback). The Beogram cable is one-way (only playback) but has double shielding. The cables are not interchangeable though you can play back from a Beocord using a Beogram

Welcome to Beoworld ! The "parts are no longer available" excuse is something we've heard many times. Some parts may be harder to find than others but that's about as hard as it is. The Beomaster 8000 is not a rare unit and, apart from the processors, it's basically built using components that are still generally available. Will

I stock suitable rubber feet for the Beomaster 700/900/901/1100 etc. but they are not quite as high as the ones found on the later Beomaster 2000/3000. The newer ones are also a bit softer. Martin

That IC carries embedded data (ROM). I'm almost 100% sure that B&O will not be able to sell you a new one so you will have to find a replacement from a donor machine. Either the discrete IC or the whole board, whatever is easiest. If you buy a new IC, it will be blank and won't work. My guess is that it shouldn't be too hard to find
