Flash your B&O - new thread!
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 6, 2012 14:37Well, as suggested by someone earlier in this thread, I pulled the shelves etc out of my bureau to make a home for my new Beogram 3000. It seems like it needs some servicing as well as the cartridge retip, but it sure lo…
Help me trouble shoot my Beogram 3000
in BeoGram · Apr 6, 2012 12:48It does seem to be coming from the motor, so I suspect you're right. How hard a job is a motor service? I also noticed that the arm made noise coming to position, then lowered, and began to make noise again. I pressed th…
Extraordinary wriggling from an eBay seller
in eBay - the right way! · Apr 5, 2012 22:26This guy has 100% good feedback, but I just don't think he can stand to let it go for £5. The idea that I'd believe that his parents have completely unexpectedly gone to New Zealand is extraordinary.
Help me trouble shoot my Beogram 3000
in BeoGram · Apr 5, 2012 22:00I've picked up my Beogram today, and as described by the seller, it needs a new stylus, but before I send the cartridge away to Axel, I have another significant worry. The deck makes a LOT of noise, which I'm sure isn't …
Extraordinary wriggling from an eBay seller
in eBay - the right way! · Apr 5, 2012 21:56I was lucky enough (I thought) to win a Beocentre 4000 (the first time round), with a set of S40s and an iPod-DIN cable for £5, but the fun I've had trying to get hold of it has been extraordinary. Firstly, I messaged hi…
Recommend me an FM aerial?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 26, 2012 10:29I've been listening to the radio through my cable TV plugged into my Beocentre 8000, which is great in that it gives me access to all the DAB channels, but just somehow feels wrong. I'd like to be able to use FM, but it …
Poor men and tangential turntables - is it sustainable?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 24, 2012 21:01Sorry Evan, I think I'm gonna keep the 1202.
Poor men and tangential turntables - is it sustainable?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2012 22:30Better news. It appears the seller switched to a Mac, and none of his replies to eBay messages were getting through. He hadn't entrusted the deck to Royal Mail, and pickup is arranged. Also, it does have a cartridge, onl…
Switching Beocentre 8000 to Aux or Tape 2 using Beolink 1000
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2012 22:04Thanks, I may do that! I'm pondering whether to look for a Beovision 3 used, or instead to go for a cheap HD flat screen. There's nothing wrong the with TV I have, but it would be nice to control everything from the one …
Beolink 1000 prices (and Used B&O pricing in general!)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2012 21:59Well, it's here! It's clearly genuinely brand new, and works perfectly. Weighs a ton! Nice to have a remote made of metal.
Switching Beocentre 8000 to Aux or Tape 2 using Beolink 1000
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2012 21:36I've received my lovely BNIB Beolink 1000, and it works beautifully, but I can't figure out how to switch the BC8000 to Aux or Tape 2, and given that one is connected to my TV, and the other to my iPod, that's a bind. An…
How hard is it to work on Form 1 and 2 headphones?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 21, 2012 18:13I reckon I'll give it a crack then. Seems like repairing or replacing a cable should be something even I can do, and a nice set of Form 1 would look nice next to my Beocentre :)
How hard is it to work on Form 1 and 2 headphones?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 21, 2012 07:08Headphones with one ear not working turn up quite commonly on eBay, and it seems likely to me that dry joints would be the most likely reason. I'd like a set, and I'm trying to up my electronics ability; are there big ch…
Scratches to Beocenter 9500 mirrored doors and centre panel
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 19, 2012 10:22Anything's worth a try with a buffing wheel, I'd guess.
Poor men and tangential turntables - is it sustainable?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 19, 2012 10:17So......the seller of the BG3000 has not responded to any messages suggesting pickup times, or asking any other questions. It's been 6 days now, so I'm giving him til I need to go out this afternoon, and then I'm opening…
Steve in Sounds Heavenly
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 19, 2012 07:20I'll lend my wait to this. Ordered an iPod-din cable, got an email shortly afterwards confirming and setting my expectations, the cable arrived very soon after, and it's excellent; quality cable, quality connectors.
Beolink 1000 prices (and Used B&O pricing in general!)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2012 12:27[quote user="Søren Hammer"] Just for the record, it's not me who sold that Beolink 1000 to him. [/quote] No Indeed; this was from eBay, auction format not Buy It Now. I hope I haven't come across as casting aspersions on…
Beolink 1000 prices (and Used B&O pricing in general!)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2012 00:07Sorry if I sound like a smart-*** (there's definitely that side to me). I'm just pleased with how it turned out. Watch now as it turns out looking like it's been shot to the moon and back, and working less well than Vene…
Beolink 1000 prices (and Used B&O pricing in general!)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 16, 2012 18:39I appear to have bought a BNIB Beolink 1000 for £21, which probably settles all possible discussions :)
Help me fault-find a Beocentre 2002
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 15, 2012 11:37When you say they're getting scarce, does anybody WANT them? I'm imagining I might fix this up and give it to a friend. It might not be real B&O, but it's a cool looking unit, and sounds pretty decent on the channel that…
