Beocord 9000 - how to record?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 15, 2022 22:16But the cable is a B&O Tape type cable, right? Because a B&O Phono cable (i.e. for a Beogram 8002) is also a 7-pin DIN cable but it will not work for a Beocord 9000. All 7 pins will be present in the cable but it won't h…
Beocord 9000 - how to record?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 15, 2022 20:17Are you confident that the cable for the Beocord and Beomaster is a good cable? Also that it is one designed for Tape, not CD or Phono. No setting of the L & R record volume sliders make a difference? -sonavor
Beocord 9000 - how to record?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 15, 2022 19:43The BC9000 user manual doesn't quite make it clear enough to tell owner's to check the switch on the bottom of the BC9000 cabinet. There is a slide switch underneath with two positions - DIN and Line. Have you tried both…

Beogram 8002 Keyboard Clip
in BeoGram · Feb 9, 2022 00:18Hi, It is a spring clip that is for securing the Beogram 8002 LED display to the control panel and can be a little tricky to get back in place. The small LED display fits into the control panel opening behind the red, pl…
Beomaster 4400 restoration help
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 4, 2022 02:01Hi, Do not interpret the polarity by the circuit board. Sometimes the schematic can be wrong but sometimes the board indication (the white, circle) doesn't always mean the negative side of the capacitor goes there. Ideal…
missing BG4000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 1, 2022 15:52One other bit of information on the voltage selection switch. I kept the original multi-voltage selection switch on my Beogram 4000. It just doesn't switch anything now. -sonavor
missing BG4000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 1, 2022 00:21Craig, I don't think it is worth trying to retain the multi-voltage selection if you go with an off-the-shelf transformer. To retain the full BG4000 functionality (meaning including the original type neon strobe lamp) yo…
missing BG4000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 31, 2022 20:35That transformer is 81 mm in diameter. I'm not sure it would fit. -sonavor
missing BG4000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 31, 2022 16:37The rated primary current was designed for 0.34 A and a nominal supply of 120 +/- 10% and 60 Hz. So that is a VA of up to about 45. There are two secondaries - UO: 24.1 Vrms 20.5 Vrms / 1.5 A UO: 10.1 Vrms 8.7 Vrms / 0.4…
missing BG4000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 31, 2022 14:55Hi Craig, My Beogram 4000 transformer ordeal was with my very first Beogram 4000 turntable back in 2015. My post showing it starts at the bottom of this Beoworld page . Being in the USA I used a company here named Toroid…
missing BG4000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 30, 2022 18:11I would opt for spending the money to have a new, toroid transformer built to spec for the Beogram 4000. The only downside there in my opinion is the cost. Just my 2 cents but seeing how this is a classic, much sought af…
Beogram 4002 non responsive
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 29, 2022 02:01Can you also clarify what you did regarding adjusting the platter height? Did you just mean that you adjusted the tension on the three leaf springs for the floating chassis? The adjustment of the platter height via the c…
Beogram 4002 non responsive
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 28, 2022 17:55Hi, It is very difficult to troubleshoot something like this. It sounds like you opened the Beogram up for some mechanical adjustment (hopefully with the Beogram unplugged). After your adjustments the Beogram blew a fuse…
Beocord 5500 110V
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 23, 2022 23:46Hi, I recently went the opposite direction of that swap. I had a Beocord 5500 that has the 220 V transformer and I replaced it with a transformer from a US model Beocord 5500. You will need to get a 220 V version of the …
Beogram 8000 Parts Compatability
in BeoGram · Jan 22, 2022 01:38Hi John, The Beogram 8000 units went through quite a few changes from the initial produced units to the units just before the Beogram 8002 came out. In some cases the enhancements add stability to some signals but wouldn…
Beogram 4002, lubrication and general maintenance
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 19, 2022 19:23[quote user="mbee"] Good question. On the official guide available on this site, they cite some lubricant references adapted to each part of the mechanism… On my side I always wondered if everything could just be lubrica…
Beomaster 5000 failed amplifier section
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 30, 2021 04:22Send me a PM via the forum and we can arrange something. If you send me the boards I can swap the IC for you. -sonavor
Beomaster 5000 failed amplifier section
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2021 21:26It is difficult to say for sure as I haven't ever measured the audio mute signal of the Beomaster. The service manual does show a 0V to 3.8V to 0V pulse of 300ms on what appears to be the P12-3 (C92 reference on Diagram …
missing BG4000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 20, 2021 04:55That is usually the case with the Beogram 4000 for some reason. Perhaps because it is older (I have had to repair a couple of cartridge connectors on Beogram 4002 turntables) but maybe B&O improved the connector later on…
