Bang and Olufsen Outsourced
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2012 04:55Here's the deal as I see it. I live in the USA. We no longer have trained factory workers or people interested in working for what they believe are "slave" wages. I have friends in many European countries and they tell m…
Terminal 3300 Battery Issue
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 23, 2012 18:45I've been looking all over for another Terminal 3300. I only see them when they are paired with a Beomaster 3300. I know a Beolink 1000 will work, but I wanted to keep the set complete. If you know of a Terminal 3300 for…
Terminal 3300 Battery Issue
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 22, 2012 17:44Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Like I said before, no hanging buttons, but there is a constant 16-18 mA draw on the battery. This stays constant even when I press a button. It definitely explains the short b…
Terminal 3300 Battery Issue
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 20, 2012 19:50After your posting, I rushed into my bedroom with my camera and pointed it toward my remote, no light. Then I pushed a button on the remote, still no light. Needless to say, the battery was dead again. I replaced the bat…

Terminal 3300 Battery Issue
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 15, 2012 14:26I have a Beomaster 3300, Beocord 3300 and Beogram CD3300 systems that I reconditioned to like-new condition, but I have a small issue. It is not a huge problem, but terribly annoying. My Terminal 3300 remote works fine, …
Beogram CD3300 Lid won't open.
in The Workbench · Jan 5, 2012 02:25The only belt I see is on the opposite side attached to a motor. Is there another or is that the belt you are referring to?
Beogram CD3300 Lid won't open.
in The Workbench · Jan 4, 2012 17:16My Beogram CD3300 was operating perfectly until recently. Now after not using it for some time, when I push the "eject" button, the lid will not open. It rises a tiny bit, but needs to be manually lifted the rest of the …
1980 Beocenter..4400 4004 5000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 1, 2012 20:38Jason- Welcome to the wonderful world of Bang & Olufsen. I have your exact system minus the cassette deck. I love the combination of the Beogram 4004 and Beomaster 4400. I have heard from many that this is the finest sys…
Restoring aluminum
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 25, 2011 19:35It makes me proud to be in such good company. I think the Beogram 4000 series turntables are the most striking instruments to pass through the hallowed doorways of Bang & Olufsen.
Restoring aluminum
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 25, 2011 17:31I'm not sure what you mean by "record-puck". If you mean the device to stabilize records that is pictured in my "avatar", it is a Audio-Technica AT-618. I don't use it at all, it came with the 4004 when I purchased it.

Restoring aluminum
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 8, 2011 19:19Andre- My 4004 was in great condition, or so I thought. I removed the top panels for a quick belt change and decided to give them the once over with a magic eraser. What was once a somewhat cloudy alumininum panel became…
Restoring aluminum
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 30, 2011 12:15I was skeptical when my coworker told me about how well it worked, but it was less than $2 US. I want my equipment to look and perform perfectly. I did all the maintenance, but the panels made it less than perfect. I cou…
Restoring aluminum
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 29, 2011 19:47There are countless advertisements for "magic" products and they seldom are what they say they are, but... I recently purchased a complete B&O 3300 system (Beomaster 3300, Beocord 3300, Beogram CD3300) and for a 20+ year…
Beogram 4004 & Beomaster 4400 Maintenance and speaker ideas.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 20, 2011 20:54Soren- How does the top bar, where the screws attach the stand to the speaker allow for a change of angle?
Beogram 4004 & Beomaster 4400 Maintenance and speaker ideas.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 20, 2011 13:06I see from the pics how to adjust the angle, but how does the bar that screws to the back of the speaker accomodate the different angles? Does it pivot?
Beogram 4004 & Beomaster 4400 Maintenance and speaker ideas.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 20, 2011 11:40Just purchased 2 pairs of S75's. No stands, but the speakers are perfect. I am the IT guy at a metal fabrication company. I have pictures of the stands, but no other info. Does anyone have measurements of the stand and t…
Beogram 4004 & Beomaster 4400 Maintenance and speaker ideas.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 10, 2011 13:35Save your turntable money and use your retirement fund or rent money for the Maggies. Make sure you listen to them first, because a trip to Magnepan will cost about a thousand to get them reworked. Even then, it is still…
Beogram 4004 & Beomaster 4400 Maintenance and speaker ideas.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 8, 2011 21:20Here are the long awaited pics with the Maggies. The cords still need to be organized, but as you can see, the record's spinnin' and I'm listenin'. Also, just purchased a MINT, I MEAN MINT 3300 system. Beomaster 3300, Be…
