Ultrasonic Record Cleaning - Quad LPs
in BeoGram · Jan 9, 2022 13:26Surfactant! That's the word I was looking for! The product I was thinking of is Kodak PhotoFlo. I'm not familiar with Ilford, but thank you for suggesting them - their website has a number of things that might come in ha…
Ultrasonic Record Cleaning - Quad LPs
in BeoGram · Jan 8, 2022 21:42Well, the box arrived and it seems pretty much as I expected/hoped it would be. Maybe a little less slick and automatic as the more expensive unit, but I think I'll be happy with it. Now I await arrival of the computer f…
Ultrasonic Record Cleaning - Quad LPs
in BeoGram · Dec 29, 2021 21:56Thanks for all your replies. On Ebay yesterday, I found an untlasonic cleaning tub with necessary mechanical parts to "dip & rotate" for $250 including tax, which is about four hundred dollars less than the really nice s…
Ultrasonic Record Cleaning - Quad LPs
in BeoGram · Dec 27, 2021 22:19I am in the agonizing process of investing in Ultrasonic record cleaning equipment. I will presume I'm not the only person who has gone to yet another expense. My question is not whether the base equipment (40 kHz) is wo…
MMC4 Cartridge falling apart
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 5, 2021 11:20Thanks for your advice, guys. Don't know when I'll get to doing this (still working on my Beomaster 6000 4-ch. - which continues to be a major project). And thanks for the reminder as to checking the mass; easy enough to…
MMC4 Cartridge falling apart
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 9, 2021 12:02I recently acquired a Beomaster 5000 set in fairly good condition. The system came with a spare MMC 4R cartridge which looks pretty good but....of course - there's always a "but"..... The silver end of the MMC4 is separa…
Beovox S-80 woofer problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 21, 2021 12:02I wish everything had such a simple and effective answer. It took longer to plug in the vac than to "pop" out the woofer and all's right with the world. Thanks, all, for your help. As to the comments about the "stack o' …
Beovox S-80 woofer problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 15, 2021 21:24I recently purchased a nice bunch of B&O units that came with a nice pair of Beovox S-80 speakers. I don't know whether the seller had it or I did it while transporting it, but once I finally had a chance to try them out…
S45-2 speaker replacements
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 8, 2021 21:26As a temporary system until I get a big project up and running, I have been using a pair of S45-2 speakers with a Beocenter 7000. I find this to be an excellent system for my living room now, although it will probably en…
Beomaster 6000 4-ch. - anyone have a photo of the "kickstand"?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 1, 2019 13:01My thanks to everybody - especially square4 for the photos. That "wire" looks a bit heavier than I remembered. The plastic mounts (if they are, indeed, plastic) are the Achilles Heel of the stand. Interesting, if someone…
Beomaster 6000 4-ch. - anyone have a photo of the "kickstand"?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 31, 2019 22:37I figured the kickstand would have been designed by an expert in wirebending or something that would guarantee a safe posture (as opposed to, I could only think of stuffing a hunk of wood under the rear). And I will defi…
Beomaster 6000 4-ch. - anyone have a photo of the "kickstand"?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 31, 2019 21:33Or...you were asking about my Internet service? It is painfully slow. But jpegs and bitmaps eventually make it, as do PDFs. I'm patient. JackM
Beomaster 6000 4-ch. - anyone have a photo of the "kickstand"?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 31, 2019 21:29Well, yes and no. I have a CD that has 'most everything and I have Silver privileges here. The "no" part is that the original factory materials are a lot nicer than copies. I seem to recall seeing a photo of a B&O unit t…
My Clumsey Fingers
in BeoGram · Jul 23, 2019 20:23I feel like I'm breaking the First Commandment of Turntables. I forgot that the arm's home position is UP. Well, if it doesn't mind. But I can't help expecting a great big brrrzzzhhiiippppppp.. Thanks, Martin, for explai…
My Clumsey Fingers
in BeoGram · Jul 23, 2019 12:56I am currently using a Beomaster 7000 but this applies to turntables like the BG1700 and numerous others. I was listening to an LP that I haven't heard in years and was distracted for a few minutes. I wanted to go back t…
Swapping parts between BG 4002 & 6000??
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 6, 2019 22:52a-HA !! I will swap out the rail(s) and expect much better performance. But now I will have to ponder just how that rail could have gotten bent in the first place. What might have pushed down on it with enough force to b…
Swapping parts between BG 4002 & 6000??
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 5, 2019 22:46Sorry if I wasn't clear about my dilemma. I'm familiar with the Beolover BlogSpot, YouTube how-to's, etc., but I don't see anything in that link. My motor problem isn't the TT motor, but the little one that moves the ton…
Swapping parts between BG 4002 & 6000??
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 5, 2019 17:40Frustration is my middle name! I've spent a lot of time on my Brogram 6000 and still don't have a properly working unit. I bought it on Ebay - as is. I have it mostly working right and expect that I can get it into total…
BeoCenter 7000 turntable cover hinge, plus a dumber question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 22, 2019 22:51If you mean the middle thing sticking up...guess the ending to this sentence...yes, I'll be looking thru the various brands of epoxy in the garage. There wasn't even any kind of snap, it just broke mostly off but hanging…
BeoCenter 7000 turntable cover hinge, plus a dumber question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 22, 2019 12:03To Martin's reply - My t1803 has no voltage switch. It took me only a few minutes to realize why you ask. The 1801 operates on different voltage, which means (of course) its radio would require that voltage. It would be …
