MCP 5000

6 replies
My Master Control Panel 5000 has suddenly ceased to work. New batteries worked for a few seconds, cleaning the contacts did the same, but now it's completely dead.
Any bright ideas?
I believe that the frequencies used were unique to the 5000-series, so 'One4All' or other 'universal' or 'programmable' remote controls wouldn't be an option.
Back to e-bay?

and here you are...
Hi, I have one for you, pm me if you're interested.

Hi Edward, do you still have a MCP-5ooo avaialble? If so, what condition & price? If not, any idea where I might find one?

Thanks, Doug

Whilst the frequencies were unique to B&O equipment (ie the Beolink 1000 etc will not drive it) I did buy a Memorex universal remote (over 20 years ago now - I have just thrown out the spare keypad covers for it!) that worked a BM 5000 / VHS91 set up with a small colour portable TV.  The snag with the Memorex remote was the batteries would go flat (as fast as the MCPs!) and one had to reprogramme it completely so I only used it for about a year.  By then the BL 1000 and new codes were coming on stream.......

There may be an appropriate remote made today - anyone know?????
