Most people pull the cable, not the plug.

Broken wires in the plug are very very common.

And since a 7-pin plug does not work with non-B&O and is replaced often with a 5-pin standard plug, there is no ir control. Usually the 2 extra pins get lost... and they are very rare and very expensive.

And when it comes back to B&O hardware, there is no 7-pin B&O plug available, since 7-pin are non standard and very expensive.

First of all: Thank you very much for the great help here in the forum! And even if it's very embarrassing for me: the error actually seems to be in the cassette connection from the Beomaster; The Beocord works with the Beolink perfectly on Tape 2. So far I have used a DIN plug with RCA outputs and inputs on Tape 1 in order to have a line-out signal; That's why it never occurred to me that there could be something wrong with the connection. Thank you all!

Yes, it's very good that these very rare parts are available again or still available and that somebody takes a lot of care and love...
... but: these small parts are more expensive than 24 carat GOLD.
So it makes sense: take care on rare B&O parts!
They are more worth than pure gold.
Back to the problem: if Port Tape2 ist working, Tape1 is not working: Check the soldering of the Port connector. The solder on the Preamp makes problems and there are splits/cracks in the solder.

And some versions have protective diodes at the datalink signals. They can short.

You are right, the Tape1 and the CD Port share the same protection diodes D1 and D2.

Tape2 and Phono use D3 and D4.

There is still no CD Player in the system for a test?

D1-D4 are on the Preamp Board.
