beocenter 7700 Help!
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 29, 2012 15:33Hello Bill. Welcome to Beoworld! The voltage selector is indeed on the bottom panel, If you open the 'Programming" cover and locate the Treble control, the voltage adjuster is located directly underneath. The easiest way…
900RG Compact in Rosewood
in eBay - the right way! · Feb 24, 2012 18:27Well it's here, and after a good clean I'm very pleased. Ideally I'd want it French Polishing, but for now a good wash and some linseed oil has made a huge difference to the lustre of the wood...not to mention the dead s…
900RG Compact in Rosewood
in eBay - the right way! · Feb 5, 2012 08:04Well I just bought this to go with it. I probably won't use it much, but since when has that ever stopped us?...
900RG Compact in Rosewood
in eBay - the right way! · Jan 30, 2012 19:21Thanks Beaker. I had a few cast-off radiograms when I was a kid, and generally speaking I like the sound for certain types of music. I'm hoping to find a Beocord to partner it, and there's a 1500 on ebay at the moment I …
900RG Compact in Rosewood
in eBay - the right way! · Jan 27, 2012 15:44I spotted this 900RG Compact radiogram, and decided to keep an eye on it. As we previously discussed , they had a bit if a spike in value about 3 years ago, but even though that calmed down a bit I'd say I got quite a ba…
Did anyone notice these?
in eBay - the right way! · Jan 27, 2012 14:16Just to quickly wrap this up, unfortunately someone must have had a word with the seller, because he suddenly went very quiet, and so all I can guess is that he decided to accept a better offer. It's annoying, as I've wa…

What should the inside of a Beovox CX 50 look like?
in The Workbench · Dec 11, 2011 18:02My CX 50's are exactly the same inside. I'll also echo what others have said re: loosening up after the refoam.
Tone arm needs extra weight
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 11, 2011 17:51Hi Dan Yes, that's exactly right. 🤒 One thing I should perhaps mention, although it may be blindingly obvious, is that as these B&O cartridges don't have a removable stylus extreme care should always be taken in handlin…
Tone arm needs extra weight
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 11, 2011 13:23Hi Dan Good photos. It seems that I was incorrect in assuming that for some reason the arm per se wouldn't lower onto the record. It seems that mediabobny was correct, and it's failed stylus suspension causing the stylus…
Tone arm needs extra weight
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 11, 2011 04:57Hi mediabobny I don't think it can be stylus suspension preventing the whole arm from 'dropping down' I'm wondering if the arm isn't correctly seated in the carrier (the grey cradle under the arm that lifts it). A photo …
Newbie - weird Beocenter 5000 turntable problem
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 10, 2011 18:41Hello Bagatellier. Welcome to Beoworld. This sounds an interesting one. I sometimes have problems with my similar 7700 in that it occasionally turns itself on and starts playing a cassette without warning. It turns out t…
Tone arm needs extra weight
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 10, 2011 18:22Hi Dan The arm on these is quite an interesting design... the bit of the arm behind the pivot that the counterweight screws on to is actually not the same piece of metal as the rest of the arm - behind the pivot the arm …
Did anyone notice these?
in eBay - the right way! · Dec 10, 2011 12:08[quote user="joeyboygolf"] The Egoh finished articles look about right. The originals look to have been polished, presumerably by a previous owner, hence the partially missing logo. [/quote] I have a Pulsar LED watch tha…

in eBay - the right way! · Dec 10, 2011 09:56Egoh's had a good go at it . I wonder if anyone's painted them with bright colours, furthering their Mondrian-esque design.
Tone arm needs extra weight
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 10, 2011 07:55Hi Dan Welcome to Beoworld. I have a 7700 in my living room that I rebuilt from parts from 3 others, so I know them pretty well. This may be stating the obvious, and if so I apologise, but is the scale on the counterweig…

in eBay - the right way! · Dec 9, 2011 06:59Hi Mika/everyone. Good to be back. I'm ok thanks. Life got rather complicated as my marriage broke down and I didn't have anywhere permanent to live. Finally I'm renting a place, and things are more settled. My B&O has s…
