Beocord 5500 tape head wiring

2 replies

Hi everyone.

I have been fortunate enough to get my hands on a Beosystem 5500 + 2 Beovox 4500's. Everything works perfectly besides the Beocord 5500. I saw the tape head had loosened itself from the carrier and therefore i disassembled it. When i had it open i saw that only 2 of 6 wires was connected on the tape head. I can't seem to figure out which wires goes where on the tape head. Therefore I wanted to ask if ant of you either had a Beocord 5500 where I could get a photo of the wiring on the tape head, or anyone were able to figure it out.
