Hi Keri!

Thanks a lot for reply! I'm living in Europe, so shipping of the whole will be unpractical, but if you can ship only the positioning motor assembly, it's easy to remove - only two screws, and shipping in a packet will not cost an arm and leg...
I will gladly cover the shipping expenses, and I will owe you!

Hi Misho

I have a mostly intact rough condition CD50 you can have... especially if you are local to Chicago. It originally had a dead door opening IC, which I replaced so now it loads and plays, sort of,  but needs further repairs. I believe the gear set is still good.

Shipping would probably cost a fair bit as these things are heavy!

 

 

I have a CD50 I bought for spares, and you can have the motor assembly but shipping from Mexico is insecure or expensive, because of the virus my next trip to Denmark wil be in May next year, if you dont find the assembly in Europe and you can wait until May, just tell me and I will bring it with me

Dear Soren, there is for sure no hurry at all, and if I will not find anything by May - I will be happy to get your parts!

Shipping inside EU is much less expensive, and waaaaay more secure for sure, those terrible times, looks like EU going for lock-down again.

Thanks!
Misho

OK, I will get it stripped down over the weekend

Just contact me if you dont find before May, and I will bring the assembly with me, have you tried Dillen on the forum ?

Hi. I've read through this thread which is very interesting. Did anyone get to the bottom of the idiosyncratic nature of the CD50? Mine opens/closes spins and plays eventually. After opening closing or putting in standby. Some discs are better than others which I don't get. Some won't play without jittering like crazy. They keep jumping backwards like vinyl 😁. Some play all the way from 0.00 without fault. 🤔. My machine has not been apart. I'm loathed to touch it and make it worse or same after pulling apart. Any thoughts? 

Thanks

Hi all!
I seem to have caught a time-consuming disease. I picked up a job-lot of cheap un-specified B&O kit for fun, no prior experience but in trying to work through the pieces and get them working again, I've found an enjoyable past-time. It's been fun learning and I now have a working Beocom 2 and Beocom 6000 in my house, I'm waiting on rubber to re-foam a pair of CX-50 speakers and a super looking beotalk 1100 to look at (it works fine, but I have no use for it). I also got an earset 2 and beolink pc2 to look at one day, but not sure they are worthwhile.

I'm looking at my CD-50 right now, it's in ok shape and I think we can make this work. Problems are:-

1. I'm struggling getting reliable drawer movement and disk clamping, I just can't find the right position for the brass nut on the cam spindle which allows me to have both. I think I will try to replace the belt and see if that helps me get that working.

2. When the disk clamps correctly and it reads a disk, early tracks start playing at 30 to 60 seconds in. I gather for this I need to clean the motor, so that's on my list to do.

3. I'm missing the metal pieces and screws which hold the case together, I'm not sure how to go about replacing those. It probably doesn't matter if this forms part of a stack, but it's a bit irritating. Are these things available anywhere?

Hi everybody,

my name is Marin, nick is 69er.

i am new to the B&O world and have currently a post open regarding a beomaster 6500.

but here I would like to get some help on my newly (as broken) acquired beo cd 50.

the starting point was that he fired up, but did nothing.

just the display on.

i dismantled everything and found the old broken belt.

i replaced it with something similar (not original) and the he loaded the cd and the motor tried to move the cd, but it just jiggled a little bit back and forth.

i used the description here in this post ;thanx for the helpers!

i dismantled the motor, cleaned it and put it back together.

maybe the distance is not longer the same (how accurate do I have to be? - it was approx. 4,86mm before dismantling)

now the motor doesn’t turn at all.

without a cd it spins freely when I turn it with my fingers.

where did I make a mistake?

best regards from germany

As the motor isn’t moving at all now, I tried to check voltages on all the cables going towards him.

can’t measure anything (just mv).

anybody an idea.

before I dismantled the motor he somehow seemed to try to turn. When moving by hand it turns freely.

also without cd (disc check moved out) he doesn’t move.

seems now more an electrical issue. Or a switch?

best regards
