If I am unable to find a suitable secondhand replacement I am told I could improvise with an alternative make using a 5 pin din with 2pp male - if I can find one. Is this true?

I don't suppose you want to sell the CD50 player?

I am looking for a Beogram CD 50 player suitable for Beogram 550 system (mine is not repairable) and do not know the system. There was one recently advertised and I responded but have not received a reply. When you reply to a advert do you have to bid. As I am new will someone please advise.
