Hi, I recently acquired a Beogram 5500 that the owner knew nothing about except it had been sitting unused in his grandfather's house. I want to a) have it serviced and b) get it hooked up to my Beosound 4. Can anyone help or recommend someone near me - I live in Hampton, Middlesex.

You will definitely need an RIAA preamp together with suitable leads to interconnect.

The nearest expert to you that I know of is Tim Jarman in Farnborough. He is ex B&O service engineer and would probably relish this challenge. You can contact him at www.beocentral.com Don't use the forum, just use the contact page.

Thanks for the quick reply, hopefully Tim can help.
