Hi Søren (I correctly spelled your name, this time ), any contribution would be veeery well accepted! As for your second 'not fast-forwarding' 9000, try to start the autocal not exactly at the beginning. The deck will not need to fast-forward to pass over the non magnetic leader. If the rewind works, then the autocal will complete successfully

Great post, Soren! I see you have 2 BC 9000's. Are they consistent in their results? Edit: I tried another nos 1979 SA C-90 and repeatedly trying autocal I often found the bias values are perfectly balanced... I'm not that certain I'll refine calibration, after all... I have other quality stuff, but this is my first Beocord. How would you

Hi Jacques, thanks for the reply. Did you carry on the complete calibration, as per service manual, or did you start directly at page 3-6 , with record calibration? I have tried a nos 1979 TDK SA C-90 (which I strongly believe is the stock tape used for calibration) and the Beocord gives a constant 0,5 dB higher value for the left channel. I tried at

Thanks, Jacques!

Hi Jacques, I recently got a Beocord 9000. It seemed like someone tried some adjustment inside, but after azimuth calibration, playback level calibration (I set 200 nWb/meter as -1dB on the meters) and line out level (all heavily misadjusted) the deck is fine. I haven't had the chance to measure its frequency response yet, but according to a Audio
