    Cartridge with prongs??

    Reply Contact

    I have seen many cartridges with prongs that come out the back. Do these prongs come off so that you could use it on a Beogram 4002?? I did look on Beoworld but couldn't find any info about it.

    No, the pins do not come off. If they do the cartridge will be useless.

    The MMC1-5 range will not fit the Beogram 4000 series, you will need a cartridge in the MMC20- series or a MMC3000-6000.

    Pretty sure there was an adapter that allowed for the newer series of cartridges. Even the reverse adapter was available I think.

    Probably as difficult to find now as the Powerlink switch, CD4 adapter, an RIAA for a 1202/3 or the remote power adapter.....

    Sorry I'm rambling ...
