Beocord 5000 repaired
in North America · Jun 25, 2025 15:25Thank you Peter. It took over 4 years, as the Beocord is very difficult to service, and you can't test it without reassembling the entire unit. I find the 5000 such a beautiful cassette recorder, and am thrilled with the…

Who services a Beocord 5000?
in BeoCord · Apr 30, 2025 04:21Adam, The sound quality went completely to bits. That is to say, it is terrible. I have a Beocord 8004, 9000, and 4500 and none required recapping to date. But one by one these 5000's died. Worse, I had one of my three 5…

RL-140 speakers
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2019 19:51Thanks Dom and Graham, These speakers come with a Beocenter 9000, which in my opinion could never possibly power them properly. Further, I already have a pristine Beocenter 9000 and really no room or need for another. Yo…

Beocord 5000 type 4517
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 24, 2019 18:27I honestly do NOT believe that anyone (outside of a trained professional) can replace these belts without first viewing this video on Beolover Blog. I have done two Beocord 5000 4716, and it isn't easy, but doable after …

S55 'vs S45
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 14, 2019 06:35I have found a nice pair of S55 speakers, cheap. Is there any reason I would prefer them over my S45.2 speakers? Yes, I love BASS, but would these S55 be an improvement? Jeff
