Martin,

A Warm Welcome to Beoworld..

There are three versions of the Beosound 9000 Mark 1, Mark 2 and Mark 3

Each Beosound 9000 also has a 4 digit "Type" number which defines which country is made to work in, this is important.

So, if you are in the UK and you buy from a UK seller, then normally no problem, but if you were to buy from another country, then you may have problems. So the first question to ask a seller is "What is the 4 digit Type Number

You can look

Try to get a mk3 if you can. The later the better.

Some spare parts are difficult to get a hold of.

And as the gentleman before me stated: MK3

as explained in an old beoworld thread the mk2 laser has been used on many other players and brands

it is far less expensive and complicated than finding one for a mk3.

the laser is not the only part that can be defektiv but that's the most important part in a player.

the later the better was true in old times. later doesn't absolutely means better quality or easier to service.

 

 

Where are you located? If you're near MInnesota you can borrow my MK2. I'm not using it.

Hi Keith,

 

Thank you for the warm welcome and initial advice!

One more question that I have is this: Where is the sticker with the Type Number and year of mnufacture located?

A lady is selling her daughter´s equipment but she doesn't have any information in that regard. I was thinking in asking her to check the sticker, but not sure where it is...

 

Cheers,

Martin

Thank you Peter, much appreciated!

I'm afraid I'm too far... Ottawa, Ontario.

I read it... I'll keep that in mind! After all, seems that the only difference would be the chip for N-radio/N-music, correct?

Thank you!

Martin

It should be behind the keypad on the front. When you open the cover to access they keys. You can flip the whole thing out.
