Hi, I am a long time B&O fan but new B&O owner. I am also new to this forum and have a couple of questions which I'm sure can be easily answered here.
I currently have 2 Beocentre 7007's, one is in great condition which I picked up from the original 1980's purchaser, the other is also in good condition but needs a little of the laminate repairing. Both systems came with fully working Beocentre terminals and S45 speakers. One set had been kept in good quality speaker cabinets from new, which I also aquired, and are in A1 cosmetic condition. The other pair are in good condition, however both were suffering from a bit of foam rot but I am currently sorting that.
Both systems came with MMC5 stylus cartridges, again one is in A1 condition and sounds fantastic, the other works but crackles and probably need to be repaired, refurbished or replaced. Firstly, is it viable to have it repaired at a reasonable cost and secondly, I have the opportunity to purchase a MMC20E, but before I do I would like to know if it is compatible with my 7007.
The tape decks on both systems don't work and I think all they need are new drive belt sets. I understand from reading previous posts that 'Martin' is the man for these. So, 'Martin' if you are reading this can you send me a PM with a price for 2 full belt sets for my 7007's.
Sorry if I went on a bit but it's my first post so be kind.
