The virus got to me again, I thought it would keep a little on hold, after the BG 1202 and Beovox 1600, but no, it forced me to bid on this marvel, and I won it, missing plexi on treble control, a job for the long Mexican winter nights. The Fabric Selector is going to kill me, or worth.

 

You wont be disappointed in the least. I like mine so much I am probably going to sell off my 4000's.  Get a set of S-75's to go with it.

At the moment I play mostly on my 5000 pizza boxes, the CD50 is a gift from somewhere above, the BM 4000 does not come near to the BM 5000, I've been trying with different speakers on both of them, and the 5000 is to my ears the best every time, only beaten by my BM 2400 with the S45 and Beovox 1600, lets see what the 4400 can bring, S75s I would like to, but I'm running out of space here, next step is the garage like Rich.

Keep givin in to your virus Soren and the next step might be "living" in the garage or worse - living in Rich's garage. I am sure he has an old cot somewhere you can use.

No old cot, but plenty of air mattresses and sleeping bags out there in the camping gear!

Sleepover!

The problem with the Beocord is possibly just the contact that feels if the cassette is 'recording protected'...Maybe a bad soldering/broken wire..?

Cleaned the contacts, didn't help, got angry, disconnected all jacks cleaned all connections, again, checked for bad solder points, again. aligned the tape unit, again, banged a little on the small relay on the main board, put everything back, and it works perfectly.

I think I must have magic hands 😁, Next time I'm at the see or a lake, I will try to walk on the water.

A little preview of what you will be working on soon Soren. I will be working on this for the next week or so.

Did some hard work this evening, started checking my 45s, they have been packed away for more than a year, here some of the 500+.

Of course I had to listen to one

And I just couldn't stop myself, and started grabbing

Close up

As I was at it, I grabbed 2 60 min. tapes, here a sample of one of them, Daniel Boone, on  Penny Farthing Records, maybe I can find something with Davy Crockett  too.

I get some 20 + - 45s on a 60 min. tape, and I only have 8 tapes, so I will have to get more if I want to grab all of them.
