For those of you who may wonder what happened, i am going to pick up my repaired Beosound1 from Benny tomorrow. He had to replace all the electrical components in the unit. the only thing that was undamaged was the laser for the cd player. 550.00 US to repair what was originally a 995.00 unit. it will be unplugged unless i am using it from here onward

I now have Benny in my headlights and will be going there tomorrow. Yes indeed, I will keep ya'll posted.

Yes Michael. Benny is the fellow that was referred to me by the B&O store in Phipps Plaza. I will certainly be trying his number again now that I have your response. Thank you so much for your input, Sherry

Your response is very much appreciated. i hope to be able to contact a service rep quickly and have the repairs done. i do thank you for your thoughtful and insightful response.

thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate the input from folks who actually have some familiarity with B&O. when i mention it to the people i work with i get the proverbial 'deer in the headlights' look. i will pursue the local fellow that several of the other respondents mentioned. perhaps it is as noted that he was on vacation

i am just a poor working stiff but back in the early 70's i bought a B&O turntable and receiver with all the bucks i could put together at the time. i loved it and it was the envy of all my friends. it died in a lightening storm in the late 70's and i have missed it ever since. a few years ago i was in a mall and walked up on a B&O storefront
