Any help??

 

I’m not sure there are standard wiring colours but I may be wrong.

I do know that re-soldering a DIN plug is notoriously difficult. It may be easier to replace the entire cable with one with a DIN plug already attached and use a multimeter in continuity mode to check the pin out.

Have a look at this link:

https://www.beoworld.org/beotech/misc1.htm

The cable to view is the Datalink type which uses 7 pins; the usual 5 pins for signals and then the datalink signal.   The colours are to a defined DIN standard.

Viewing the connectors is from the SOLDER side.   Fiddly to do but quite possible.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking about getting a cable but that would mean taking the beogram apart which I didn't really want to do.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, that link is exactly what I need. The beogram hasn't got a green cable at all but then again it doesn't need it, the Beocord has got all the matching colours so I'd better get my steady soldering hand on!!

One other thing the beogram has got a black cable that has got sort of white fibres in it, any idea what this is?

The white fibres are just a type of synthetic string to provide support, strength and body to the cable itself and are not connected to anything. They would be trimmed off just before the plug.

If you can find a 7 pin socket - line socket or chassis socket - then this can be used to hold the plug in a vice or clamp when you solder it. This makes it a lot easier to solder (but don't put the plug into a socket in the amplifier/receiver or any other equipment).

 

That's interesting, thanks.

That's a great idea, I was a bit worried about putting the plug in a vice when soldering. I'm sure I've got a 7 pin socket somewhere, I'll have a go at soldering it this afternoon.

Thanks for your help 😃
