Hey Beoworld people,

 

I've acquired a beauty Beogram 2000 (Type 5821) with a MMC4 connected to a Beocenter 9500 via the phono datalink.

When pressing Phono on either the BC or the Beolink the Beogram starts spinning and the needle does touch the record.

I've had some help trying to get it working, but to no avail.

1. I've switched the Datalink cable from phono to tape 2 and theres sound but its really, really quiet. (So the stylus is working?)
2. When switching the AUX to the Phono the sound gets distorted, which should mean theres a preamp in the Phono connection (am we right to assume this?) 

 

So what would be my next steps?

If i need a pre amp, can I use it with the data link (I really like the phono button action on my beolink.)

Hi Harmster.  I have the same problem. Can you tell me who fixed your pre-amp and what it cost?

I found an user on a Dutch site. I can look it up if you also live in the Netherlands? I was out 40 euros for a the repair (CD was also broken and a couple other things were replaced, like the relay unit)

Thank you very much for your prompt reply - unfortunately I’m in the UK Midlands so will have to find a solution closer to home, but I’m pleased that it does not appear to be too expensive a repair. If all else fails maybe I’ll have to treat my beocenter to a trip abroad.

It should be a quick fix. The part is fairly cheap and the labour is 30min. Hope you get your Beocenter working soon!
