That is FANTASTIC news, I can definitely fab something up that attaches to it. I guess its time to get a scale and set the tracking force. Thank you so much for the reply!!!!

I lost the little plastic slider that goes on the tonearm, its not in the deck, and its nowhere to be found. My records sound absolutely thin, is there anything I can do to replace this integral piece? Is my table useless?

Hmm... I hooked up a speaker tonight to the beomaster, and the volume will not change. Before I tear into it, does the volume attenuator fail, or could it be a bad connection/solder joint? Any help is appreciated!

photos are obligatory, just look at my other posts :) hope dillen comes to this thread soon. heh

yachadm: Hi D, I love working on the vintage stuff !!!! My personal favorites are Panasonic FM Radial Electrolytic capacitors for anything above 10uF, Wima MKS2 Polyesters for 10uF and smaller. Yes - I replace Electrolytics with Non-Polar Polyesters wherever possible. In the audio stage, I use Elna Silmic, or Nichicon Muse, and for the large power Cans

Oh, that shoud be easy to rig up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJXjPm2QD0 Stare deep into the scope. Marantz isnt from the wrong camp, its pretty, sounds pretty, and is built real well. B&O with an american flavor and Japanese build quality. :D

Thanks for the welcome! One more question, I just bought a din to rca adaptor for the beogram....where do i hook up a ground? FYI, im somewhat experienced in vintage gear. This is my biggest restoration so far http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=172877 I think the beomaster will be just as impressive!

A few months ago, I purchased a beogram 8000 with a beomaster 8000 and beovox 150 speakers for the high sum of $150. It came with a MMC20 CL cartridge. I then purchased a beocord 8000. I have questions on each piece, hope i can get some answers. BTW, I already took the beomaster apart out of curiosity, its such a wonderfully put together piece of equipment
