Compatability question for Beomaster 5500 and Beogram 5005 others
in BeoGram · Aug 16, 2016 02:41Thanks again! I just recieved my 6ft extension din and also replaced a din pin in the beogram cable. The cable allows me to have my turntable positioned in a more suitable spot for my living room setup and now I can cont…
Does 5500 Master Control operate Beogram 5500?
in BeoGram · Aug 16, 2016 01:55Thank you, Lee! That was exactly the problem. The previous owners had broken the 6th pin off and it was barley above the surface of the threads for me to remove it with a pair of jewler tweezers. I replaced it with my be…

in BeoGram · Aug 3, 2016 00:09Could I instead sacrifice the pin from my beocord tape player?
Does 5500 Master Control operate Beogram 5500?
in BeoGram · Aug 2, 2016 23:26Can these pins be purchased? I will check to see but if they aren't in the cable, does someone on the forum sell them?
Does 5500 Master Control operate Beogram 5500?
in BeoGram · Aug 2, 2016 23:06I have recently purchased and setup a beogram 5500, which the great folks here helped me with on another thread. My question is this, aren't I suppose to be able to control the turntable functions like turn and play from…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 29, 2016 14:09If you can find a beomaster 5500 tuner/amp it has an alarm and radio function. Probably can find one on eBay for a hundred bucks.

in BeoGram · Jul 24, 2016 17:38Is there a DIN cable extender that would connect to the male end of the beogram DIN to make it longer? I'm going to have the turntable off to the side of my media console on a rack. I have purchased DIN to 3.5mm jack for…

in BeoGram · Jul 21, 2016 16:13Excellent! I had searched the forum and checked out your restoration @sonavor. That looked pretty darn good when you got done with it. I will likely have some time as I wait for the sound-smith cartridge to arrive. I may…

in BeoGram · Jul 21, 2016 00:37I've placed my order for the second Beogram 5500 that I had listed in my previous post. I was able to get the turntable for $189 which left room to pick-up a MMC 4 cartriridge from Sound-Smith for $199. I'm keeping my fi…

in BeoGram · Jul 20, 2016 23:17I was able to have a family member snag a look at my grandparents beogram and it turns out it's not what I thought it was. It appears to have a MMC20EN cartridge. EDIT: Turns out it's a Beogram 3404 , the image is blurry…

in BeoGram · Jul 20, 2016 02:34It has been awhile but I do believe that I and my dad played around with it for sometime. He was certain that it would work and was stumped when ithe didn't. It was in the phono slot above the CD port.

in BeoGram · Jul 20, 2016 01:48@Sonavor I mentioned in my OP that I had tested that series - it did work, but the sound was significantly muted and didn't have as near the same sound or power as the other pieces. I have read that the turntable may be …

in BeoGram · Jul 19, 2016 23:45Yes good info again. I should have mentioned that I was referring to the sound-smith mmc cartridges. I spoke with them this morning and they stated that MMC 3 and 4 would be about a 2 week wait. But mmc 2 were in Stock. …

in BeoGram · Jul 19, 2016 21:01That's good information, @sonavor! I have been looking at sound-smith for cartriridge prices and am torn between being cheap and getting a MMC 4 or spending the money to get a MMC 2. Also, my granparents 3300 (I believe …

in BeoGram · Jul 19, 2016 01:15At the moment there are 3 5500's on ebay that I can see in the US. One is for parts, one is w/o a cartridge and looks a bit rough, and one that is located in New Jersey for pickup only Parts / "can't test" 5500: http://w…

in BeoGram · Jul 18, 2016 23:15Another clearly rookie question but It bears some merit , I believe: I'm in the USA with 110v electrical outlets. Should I be limiting my search to US spec beograms or should I also be OK to look at the 220v models sold …

in BeoGram · Jul 18, 2016 22:48MediaBobNY, the seller stopped communicating and never shipped. I just recieved my refund. The listing was: 262497757350 and it came with working MMC3. Needless to say, I've given negative feedback and have moved on. Als…

in BeoGram · Jul 18, 2016 13:47@MediaBobNY and @Chartz thank you for the great information! I'm sorry if I'm asking rookie questions. I've owned my parents system for about 10 years and I've just now decided to look for a matching turntable with the b…
