Many thanks to those who suggested a replacement lithium battery is likely to solve the problem - it seems pretty unanimous and your help is very much appreciated. Any suggestions as to who/where I could take the Beomaster 6500 to in order to get this replacement carried out? Ideally, I would like to find someone in the Midlands/North West of England

I have a complete B & O 6500 system purchased brand new and including an MCP6500. When I try to store FM stations, assigning them the numbers I choose, eveything is fine unless I switch off the mains power when all the pre-set stations are lost. Is this likely to be a problem with the MCP6500 or the BeoMaster 6500, or am I doing something wrong

I am trying to locate an early 70's advert which appeared in the UK press advertising John Player Special ( JPS ) cigarettes. It showed either a Beomaster 3000 or 3000-2 alongside a pack of JPS cigarettes in their iconic Black & Gold packaging. The wording was " Amplifier by Bang & OLufsen, cigarettes by John Player" or similar

I am unable to locate an MMC2 for my Beogram 6500 - if anyone has a mint example for sale, name your price! Meanwhile, I can purchase a MMC 20 CL - will this fit my Beogram 6500?

If anyone has, or knows of, a pair of Penta III speakers in absolutely MINT! condition ( no dings/scratches whatsoever, however small!) for sale, I would be very interested in their purchase. I can arrange for their collection from anywhere within the UK. I am also looking to buy a BeOLink 7000, again, only if in absolutely MINT! condition with charger

To everyone that took the time & trouble to reply to my query re: earth grounding turntable/Beomaster 4000. Sincere thanks - the ground terminal was indeed tucked away in the top L/H corner and now that my turntable has been grounded via that terminal, it is absolutely perfect - the extra power over my 3000-2 is very evident! Many, many thanks to

I have owned a Beomaster 3000-2 from new in 1973. It is connected to a Linn Sondek LP12 via the two Linn phono plugs and the Linn earth lead is screwed to the Beomaster earth terminal - everything is perfect. I have just purchased an absolute mint Beomaster 4000 and connected my Linn phono plugs to the B & O phono inputs but cannot see an earth

How do I select FM or AM on my Beomaster 6500 using my Master Control Panel 6500 ? I have only fitted an FM aerial as I do not wish to use AM. ( I do not have a BeoLink 7000) Kind regards, ferrari458spider

I bought a complete B & O 6500 system brand new in 1989 and I have now started to use it! I have the Master Control Panel 6500 but not the BeoLink 7000. How do I tune and pre-set FM radio stations? Kind Regards, ferrari458spider

Good morning, The unit is fitted with an MMC 2 cartridge and the tracking force set at 1.0 gm as per the manual. As, from all the posts to date, it is looking more & more likely to be a problem with the cartridge, if I should I need a new cartridge, where can I buy one from?
