Wanted: a pb/rec head for Beocord 5500

Reply Contact

I got a non-working BC5500 with the problem of sound in only one channel. The head was open-circuit in the silent channel (checked with multimeter and swapping left/right channel).

So if anyone has an extra head for this deck (it is told to be the same as used in 3500 / 4500 / Beocenter 9000 / 9500 / 8500) I'd like to buy one. Hopefully not too expensive, suggest a price. I'd like to have the head assembly as complete as possible as it's quite miniature if dis-assembled. (Head, fixing screws and frame and the wires to be soldered to the small board).

I am located in FIN, I will pay the postages and I can pay with PayPal.

Thanks in advance.

Ville

This one is for sale on ebay and probably won't go for much money as it's pick up only and has a damaged front. If you were to win it I could pick it up for you and post the head assembly to Finland.

Cheers

Hi!

Thanks for your offer. It feels bad to part a complete deck to get this working; mine is not in too good external condition. I guess it would be a bit too complicated task and amount of work - I think I will just keep looking for the head itself. I don't want to have more "almost working" Beocords lying around... :) Or would you have any use for the rest of the deck?

The Beocord 5000 doesn't have autoreverse and uses a different tapehead compared to the 5500.
