Further to a thread in the Beogram section, which piece of B&O do we think is the most unfriendly to take apart!?

My money is on the Beocord 5000 Type 4705. A bit like a fireworks display with springs going everywhere!!   The only thing my service department ever turned away!!

Well the worst piece of B&O I have taken apart was a VX5000. There is just no space inside it at all.

The most unfriendly would be the BeoCom 2, only struer can get them apart!

The doors on a Beocenter 9500 are easy to take apart... and rather difficult to reassemble!

Agreed!!!

Threading a new tuning drive cord on a 1972 model beolit 700

Took me hours the first (and definately last) time.

He he. I spent about 1/2 a day doing the same to a Beolit 609 that I bought non-working from a charity shop. The tuning wheel span freely, so I thought all it needed was a new cord. After many hours I had cracked it and had the new cord in place, only to realise that the whole set was knackered. In the end I sent it to Tim Jarman who fixed the electronics (and infomed me that I'd hooked the cord up the wrong way around anyway!)

Never again!

The BeoCord 5500. I opened mine up and found it to be snap fits once you take the outer casing off. I couldn't get to the actual insides at all.

Beosound 9000 is one product that which would be a real challenge to dismantle without guidance. Not that it's difficult, just very clever.

And there was me thinking you were going to say the video section of an Avant!!

No, actually that's fairly straightfoward! Remove back cover, unplug plugs and remove 4 screws. Open bin, place video in bin, close bin. Replace back cover.

Takes five minutes at most.
