Help with B&O spares

11 replies

Hello all

I wonder if you could help me please, I live in France and I am having problems sourcing the following:

 

I need Bulbs or Holders and bulbs for a Beolab 1700 and a Beocenter 1400

 

I require a counterweight for a 1902 Turntable arm this is the oblong one that sits in the arm.

 

Motor required for a Beocord 5000 this for the tape deck transport mechanism (not the drawer motor)

 

Finally I require ( a blast from the past) a speed control adjuster for a Beogram 900 turntable, I believe this a Beogram 1000  deck correct me if I am wrong I think it also the same on a 1001 Deck)

This is the black adjuster that fits inside the Large Chrome speed control at the rear of the Deck which allows the speed of the turntable to be adjusted with the strobe on the platter.

At least it does if it is not seized ( i think this was the problem  with mine and it made the D section round so it would not turn the centre spindle)

 

I am unsure if the black control  removes from the Chrome Control (perhaps someone could advise)

 

Thank you

I think that I may have a 1902 arm assembly somewhere, will come back if I can find it!

 

The bulbs can possibly be sourced by the user "Dillen".

Hi Martin

Thank you for your quick reply,  parts required as mentioned, I am a retired mechanic and more at home with a spanner than a soldering iron,  But I do what I can.

I have been a B&O fan for years (My friend used to own the B&O shop in York.  being a friend he always had a bargain that I couldn't resist.

My Equipment is mostly the older B&O, but nevertheless still in working order.   Apart  from aforementioned items.

Would changing the motor on the Beocord  5000 be too much of a job, because I don't want to start upsetting the Azimuth of the head.

As I said before I have my limitations.


just a quick question I have a 5500 that stop working, one day i switched it on and it went into stand by, tried it again and there was a pop, this was about a year ago,  someone on beoworld suggested it may be the rectifier.  Anyway my friend took it back to the UK to repair but unfortunately he has been very poorly.

So I have just bought a  6500 from Graham (here is the question) I need a pre amp is it possible to retrofit the Pre-amp from the 5500 to the 6500.  

Or do you have an internal preamp for my 5005 Turntable, I know the alternative is to by an external one, but I am just not happy with boxes attached (if you get my drift)

Please email me with costs etc.

Thank you again, I never fail to be impressed with  the assistance of Beoworld

Thank you in advance

Kindest regards

John
