Cleaning a Beogram 5500 Record Platter
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 2, 2018 12:08I've no idea what B&O used, but there are a number of anti-static products on the market that would do the same job. Most seem to be either spay or wipe on and leave to dry; they leave a thin, clear conductive layer behi…

Becord 5500 Tape Deck - Tape slips, but only in one direction
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 2, 2018 10:40I've got a BeoCord 5500 tape deck that seems to be suffering from an interesting problem. When I play certain tapes on side 1, a few minutes into the tape, the sound quality deteriorates as if the tape seems to be slowin…
Cleaning a Beogram 5500 Record Platter

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 1, 2018 11:32An update, just in case anyone else has this issue - I spoke to B&O about this; in summary they said that the platters originally had a clear-coat sprayed on them, and that this had probably been damaged and that the onl…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 31, 2018 10:12Hi All, I'm new to the forums, though I've been a collector of B&O for some time. I need some advice! I've recently acquired a BeoSystem 5500, which is in great condition, apart from the Beogram Platter. It's not corrode…
