I initially posted this question on the Vintage Products forum but as I fear that that forum may be less frequently visited I am posting it on the General forum too - perhaps someone can help.

All,

I have bought a Beocord 9000 on Ebay (allegedly in mint condition) that unfortunately needs a lot of calibration and re-adjustment for the playback and recording levels.

I am looking for a B&O original load level measuring tape # 6780035.  Does anybody have it? I understand that it is too valuable to sell but perhaps someone could lend it to me for a short period of time?

Thanks for your feedback

Do you mean the tape for setting the heads? The TDK-MAR one? I would suggest that you may need a bit more than this.

No, this is not the azimuth adjustment tape (based on a TDK MA-R) that was included with the Beocord. The one I am looking for was only available at B&O dealers for peak level adjustments and had serial number 6780035. It is pretty rare.

Just consulted with the tape expert. The old tapes will be useless by now - he suggests
