Teasmade (for UK-based members) - sorry, but not a B&O related at all...
in Wanted · Jan 24, 2012 11:17No, no Harry Potter at all... Goblin Teasmade's (and their cousins, Goblin Coffeesdun's) originate from South Gondor region in Middle-Earth. The evil Morgoth created them as domestic help, cause Orcs and Trolls tended to…
Teasmade (for UK-based members) - sorry, but not a B&O related at all...
in Wanted · Jan 23, 2012 10:38Thanks Chris! I have tried eBay, and there seems to be some 4 of them on offer now, but half of them are collection only and the rest won't ship them outside UK. - jari
Teasmade (for UK-based members) - sorry, but not a B&O related at all...
in Wanted · Jan 23, 2012 05:59Hi all, I know this request has nothing to do with B&O equipment, but hope some UK-based members can help me, anyway! I'm desperate to find a nice Goblin Teasmade D25 set - the old rounded art deco-style tea-making appar…
Changing belts on Beocord 5000 (4705, 4715) - part 1
in The Workbench · Jan 6, 2012 12:25Well, my pictures were taken when I put the machine back together so the cables etc. may be a bit out of place, I can't remember which cable runs I adjusted before or after each picture.. Actually, on this one I think it…
BG8000 dead, displaying 0.0.0.0 ?
in BeoGram · Jan 6, 2012 12:15OK, its the caps and solder joints next, then. Just thought to ask first as the "0.0.0.0" kinda looks like an error code! (when not even all segments are lit like "8.8.8.8"...) Ordered a new tacho disc already from Marti…
BG8000 dead, displaying 0.0.0.0 ?
in BeoGram · Jan 5, 2012 10:12I have a Beogram 8000 which does nothing but display numbers "0.0.0.0" on display (and the cue arm light is on too). Just a quick question, is this a known indication (error code ?) of totally fried microprocessor or cou…
Changing belts on Beocord 5000 (4705, 4715) -part 2
in The Workbench · Jan 2, 2012 13:59On my machine (which is a 4705), the recording head is about the same as You guys, and the playback head is even more tilted forward- should have taken a picture, but missed that, I'm afraid. - Jari
Changing belts on Beocord 5000 (4705, 4715) -part 2
in The Workbench · Dec 31, 2011 01:55Oh yes, the timer belt: I left only small opening between the machine and keyboard (i.e. almost closed the keyboard down) and then used my wife's crochet hooks to get the belt in place. They are actually very good tools …
Changing belts on Beocord 5000 (4705, 4715) -part 2
in The Workbench · Dec 30, 2011 13:00Yes, it took some wiggling to get the tapehead assembly out, but I did it without bending the parts (much..)... You'll need even more patience to get it back, but just take it easy, have a cup of coffee (or something str…

Timer recording on Tape2 possible (BM5000) ?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 22, 2011 05:18Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. It is just timer recording TO tape2 that I'm asking. I suppose it is not possible at all...? - Jari
Timer recording on Tape2 possible (BM5000) ?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 22, 2011 02:30Just a quick question: is it possible to set timer recordings on Tape2 in Beomaster 5000 ? (Or BM5500, for that matter ?) Can't figure out how to do it on MCP5000 and could't find answer in manuals nor searching the foru…

Changing belts on Beocord 5000 (4705, 4715) - part 1
in The Workbench · Dec 18, 2011 03:48Now we are going to disassemble the Beocord 5000 (continuing with actual belt replacement in part 2). Here we have the patient. We start by turning it upside down (disconnecting from mains first, naturally). First remove…

in Wanted · Dec 18, 2011 00:35Hi! I have a Beogram 6002 under restoration and a Beocenter 7700 coming my way, but not a suitable cartridge for them! I'm looking for a MMCn-series cartridge for mainly tuning and adjusting the tonearms and mechanics, s…
Changing belts on Beocord 5000 (4705, 4715) -part 2
in The Workbench · Dec 17, 2011 11:16Ashamed to say, but don't know yet. Going to fiddle with the adjustments a while before trying out the sound. I got it with belts evaporated, so no previous experience either! - Jari
Changing belts on Beocord 5000 (4705, 4715) -part 2
in The Workbench · Dec 17, 2011 04:50Changing the belts part 2 continues... Added a picture of the next step: Under the mechanism, the fork arm of the tapehead assembly is bended over a solenoid arm pin - unbend this arm until the whole tapehead assembly ca…

in The Workbench · Dec 17, 2011 04:09Well, I finally managed the almost impossible and changed the belts on my old Beocord 5000 - the 70's dual capstan model 4705 (or 4715). This is my story so far - still some mechanical adjustments to do! (This is part 2 …
