B&O cd 5500 motor spinning like crazy
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 6, 2021 01:56Hello... I just got a Beogram CD 5500 working, so maybe my thoughts might help. First thing I noticed on your video is that it sounds like the CD is hitting the tray. This will stop the player from reading the disc until…

What Are You Working On Now
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 8, 2020 02:29Done(-ish) with the Beomaster 5500, it's in service and sounding better than the Beocenter 7700. So now on to the battered Beogram CD 5500. This Beogram CD 5500 came to me pre-broken from an eBay seller that had sold it …
