Awesome, that looks like my grandfather's workshop. I also have that same Product(RED) iPod. Good luck with your restoration.

I actually ended up buying another BC7700, it's a white one but works so well with not much tinkering. All I need is new speakers, since one is not working and a new needle.

Hi all,

I had the chance to find the same Beocenter 7700 with a Beogram CD 4500 and a pair of Beovox S2400 in the new appartment I bought.

I'm quite a lucky man.

But I can only got sound with the CD player.

Nor the tuner neither the turntable give sound whereas both seems to works well. The turntable process is ok and I even can hear a tiny sound from the MMC4 but when "reading" the record I still have the music from the CD.

Any program I choose (tuner, PH, TP1 or TP2) I habe sound from the CD wich is connected with the DIN line in/out.

Opening the machine as you did, i don't see any unpluged wire or apparently damaged component.

If anyone can help me, at least if it seems fixable or not...

Thanks in advance,

regards from France,

Guillaume

I dont think you are suppose to use the DIN line in/line out for hooking up external components such as CD iPods etc. It was intended for use with say an equalizer or some other type of prefilter/preamp. Leaving it unplugged will mute the rest of the Beocenter.  There should be a plug that fits in its place. Use the the tape 2 for the CD player instead then see if all the other functions are restored.

I assume that I am deeply ashamed. It was obviously simple. Everything go the right way now.

I'm sincerely gratefull to you, many thanks,

Nearing completion all that remains are some new lamps from Dillen and a decision from me whether to attempt repairing the function selector LED's.

I even cleaned and recap the remotes

almost back together.
