Help, can't find resistor R3102 on my CD3300 servo board?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 6, 2024 15:14@glitch Thanks. I've found it. Turns out it is in line with the IC by the ribbon connector and not to the side. Turns out the CD3300 service manual has another servo board detailed right at the end of the book. I was loo…

Help, can't find resistor R3102 on my CD3300 servo board?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 2, 2024 17:15I've seen that and it does look familiar. And, that's how I knew I don't seem to have a resistor in the same place. My board has a gap.
Help, can't find resistor R3102 on my CD3300 servo board?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 2, 2024 14:20I thought I'd fixed my CD3300, type 5142, as I managed to get it to play most of my CDs. I've replaced all electrolytic capacitors on the power supply, decoder board and servo board. But, after leaving it for a few days …
Need to buy MMC4 cartridge

Need to buy MMC4 cartridge
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 16, 2024 20:48Good idea. Being a lifelong cynic, I think I’d have asked that but it’s good to hear I’m not alone in that thinking.
Need to buy MMC4 cartridge
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 16, 2024 12:08I called one of the UK sellers and they said their cartridges all new non B&O. They used to to do refurbs, but the "man" who did them is no longer available. I didn't have the cheek to ask where they sourced them from. B…
Need to buy MMC4 cartridge
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2024 12:50Thanks for the input. I don't have the old cartridge; must have thrown it away about 20 years ago when I knocked the tip off. My plan is to buy a new one from the UK, but before I did that I wanted to see if there was an…
Need to buy MMC4 cartridge
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 12, 2024 12:52I can see find a number of suppliers who sell new cartridges; 3 in the UK and Soundsmith in the US. I've read good stuff about Soundsmith, but their cartridges are quite expensive when delivered to my door in the UK, abo…
Beocord 3300 tape head needed
in BeoCord · Apr 6, 2024 03:44Following on from my problems with the left channel sound, it seems as though the tape head is faulty. It reads an open circuit when testing the left channel of the head. The right channel reads OK at about 250 ohms. The…
Beogram CD 3300 problems
in BeoGram · Mar 22, 2024 19:11I sorted out why it wouldn't play tracks in the 2nd half of a CD. For some reason the unit's top had dropped slightly blocking the full path of the laser assembly. I took the whole thing apart and sanded a little of the …
Beogram CD 3300 problems
in BeoGram · Mar 17, 2024 17:16Small success. The lid now opens perfectly after changing the belt. I'm waiting for the door control board capacitor to arrive in the next couple of days to hopefully stop the little jump when it closes. But, failure wit…
How to wire 7 din plug to Beogram
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 16, 2024 11:34Good luck with the soldering. I've just done one for the first time in about 40 years, and forget how much a pain in the proverbial it is.
Beogram 5500 - buzzing issue
in BeoGram · Mar 12, 2024 11:35I think you need a cable with a proper earthing from the turntable. The connector you've bought won't have this. You can get one at Sounds Heavenly. Or, Beocable on eBay do one. I'd be interested how you get on as I'm in…
Beogram CD 3300 problems
in BeoGram · Mar 7, 2024 02:11I'm moving on to my CD3300 now. It has three faults. First, it won't play CDs, but it's not the usual "?" fault people post about. When I press play, track 1 plays for about 90 seconds as indicated on the display. It the…
Beocord 3300 refurb - very low sound in left output
in BeoCord · Mar 1, 2024 15:52Update on this issue. I've got nowhere. I've checked all the electrolytic capacitors (admittedly in circuit) and where applicable compared the left channel ones to the right channel. Most of the readings were the same on…
How accurate are B&O service schematics with regard to components?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2024 18:36Thanks for that, I just wanted to check I wasn't missing something before I start to remove components for off board checking. Those resistors are my starting point as all the others in that part of the circuit have simi…
How accurate are B&O service schematics with regard to components?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2024 04:05I'm diagnosing my Beocord 3300 model 2942 which has the left playback volume much lower and more hissy than the right hand channel. I've owned the unit from new and have never had any work done on it till now. I'm workin…
Beocord 3300 refurb - very low sound in left output
in BeoCord · Feb 18, 2024 19:07Update - bought lead to plug into my Cyrus amp and nothing. I tried it with the B&O CD player and tape deck using different amp inputs. Turns out the lead is one to plug non B&O stuff into B&O amps. Not really sure why i…
Beocord 3300 refurb - very low sound in left output
in BeoCord · Feb 15, 2024 16:57Pretty sure it's the Beocord. If I plug it into the CD input on the Beomaster I get the same problem. The CD3300 plays OK through the CD input, albeit for only 30 seconds but that's a problem for another day. The CD3300 …
