What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 24, 2026 08:24Although relatively rare, I'm always interested in changes and updates to B&O's reccomended configurations or settings between years. Because the Rulebooks are now JSON, we can compare them across years for a given setup…
B&O Beocord VX7000 Compatibility with a Beovision LX4500 TV
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 23, 2026 22:53Agree Peter's post is the right info on this. To test out my web port of the Product Configuration Guide , I got this response from the 1997 Great Britain Rulebook: ************************* VIDEO SYSTEM SETUP **********…
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2026 21:01Happy to share the viewer code and JSON files, it would be great to have it centrally hosted on BeoWorld!
Theatre failure. Help needed.
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2026 21:00What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2026 19:58Hah, no problem, can re-upload here and add the search interface... :) If you can send me one of the *.RUL files that are hiding in the Program Files folder for each app (or just the installer exe if you have it?) I can …
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2026 18:46I'm working on a web-based viewer for the old "Product Configuration Guide" data files, which exist from at least 1994 to 2010. There were both DOS and Windows viewers for this data, but running them is a bit tricky in 2…
MB4102 Motorized Base 4102 belt
in BeoVision · Oct 3, 2026 23:48Found it in the North American NTSC service manual, it's: 90102 2732085 Rubber belt
MB4102 Motorized Base 4102 belt
in BeoVision · Oct 3, 2026 18:44Such an interesting design, with a tiny little belt: It seems like I should replace this one -- does anyone have the service manual, or know the specifications for the belt?
Beomaster 2000 (29xx) stereo light reversed?
in BeoMaster · Sept 14, 2026 05:44I recently re-capped my 1980s Beomaster 2000, with excellent results -- but I notice the FM Stereo indicator seems to illuminate when in the static between channels, and turns off when I hit a strong station. No doubt I …
Beomaster 2000 Type 2913 - Hinge Damping Grease question
in BeoMaster · Sept 14, 2026 05:39Another thing to check -- when you reinstall the top, the white plastic part on the grease-dampened cord has to fit between the two black plastic tines of the hinge mechanism. During the time my spring assembly (on the o…
B & O: A design empire is dying - YouTube video - Any thoughts?
in B&O Finance · Aug 20, 2026 04:29It's a shame they couldn't make their point without AI slop. The narrator's voice, for one, but also fake images at f.ex. 00:41. And what's with the non-B&O cartridge at 00:45? We get entire fake Beograms at 7:31 - 7:35 …
Beogram 5000 (Type 5803) tonearm won't move vertically
in BeoGram · Jun 29, 2026 21:54I'm working on a Beogram 2000 myself, which is very similar. One common problem on these is a plastic part snaps off on one (or both) sides. This is a part that exists kind of like a plastic ring around the arm rotation …
First look - CMM-10 type 5103: a 10-disc CD changer from 1990
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 1, 2026 02:05Great to see some documentation about these... they were often pictured hiding in the cube of a F1000 for obvoius reasons. :)
BeoCenter 9500 - how to attach small hinged door (top left)?
in BeoCenter · May 31, 2026 21:28Yes, this is indeed very tricky. The aging plastic also makes it a bit of a nail-biter as the piece is likely to shatter. I think I've tried using plastic spudgers (thin tools) to force the bar into place, but I've been …
Product Configuration Guide
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 30, 2026 17:51The only way I've ever gotten 2.6.4 to work is in a Windows 98 virtual machine (with 86box). Here's a question -- I seem to recall earlier, DOS-based versions of the tool. Does anyone have a copy of something previous to…
1983 Master Control Link System wiring guide
in BeoLink · Mar 24, 2026 02:19I’ve scanned and uploaded this document, which is contemporaneous with the Beocenter 7700: https://archive.org/details/1983-bang-olufsen-master-control-link-system/ I find these early MCL systems fascinating, not because…
Special grease (Barrierta) for CD mechanism Beocenter 9300
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 22, 2026 23:40I recently serviced my Beosound 2300 with exactly this grease (purchased for a Beogram, but I thought it approprite to CD rails as well.) I'm not sure if it was my cleaning the old grease off the rails and/or the new gre…
Wow and Flutter on Beogram 5500
in BeoGram · Feb 24, 2026 16:43I just changed the belt on my (mechanically very similar) BG6500 the other day and was reminded how much larger an old belt will be versus the new one (from DKSoundParts.) Putting the old belt on a flat surface showed it…
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2026 07:08Restored DataLink functionality on my Beogram 6500 -- this had mysteriously stopped working, despite other functions being OK. Tried it on different systems (Beomaster 6500 and Beosound 2300) with the same result, and va…
