It has to be said that Beoworld would be a much poorer place without Martin. He has so much knowledge and is always happy to help. He is also a really great guy and I am proud to call him a friend.

Agreed !

Dillen helped me rescue a Beocord 5000 many years ago

I'm new here, although I don't know Dillen, I agree with all of you.

Thanks guys.

B&O, collecting, restoring and repairing has been a hobby for me for more than 35 years.
Having such a lovely bunch of Beoworlders to share it with, is just wonderful ! 😕

Hi Martin,

While we're on the subject of Beocord 5500's, I have a question: Mine plays back fine, when hooked to a conventional amp.  You see the previous owner cut the DIN plug off and wired 2 RCA's to the green and blue leads.  I would like to re-install a 7 pin DIN, of which I have one, a solder on type.  The pins are numbered (and I can't read them very well) in an odd fashion.  I could probably solder them on, carefully, if I had a diagram of some sort.  I'm assuming the woven copper surrounding the wire is a ground.

Thanks in advance for your help,

GJS

Thanks for that, Beobuddy, now I just need a schematic to tell which wires are what color...

3 Left, 5 right, 2 shield inner wire, 6,7 data, shield outer cable ground on shell, but B&O changed the colors a couple of times, check your schematic for data wires, normally  shorted in the jack and use the pin 2 as ground, left and right you can check connected
