B n O gift given to me.

So I just received a complete BnO Beomaster 5000, Beogram 50005 turntable, CD player, Cassette player, control center, three panel speakers and stands.

This has not been used in 30 years probably, they do seem to have issues.

Questions.. Is this system worth restoration? I know the receiver powers up,then shuts off, a protection system I am guessing. Turntable powers up, but platter does not spin, I hear a click inside when I change speeds, no rotation, belt was still in tact.

My thoughts were restore the receiver then the TT, then speakers (there is a random “pop” in the speakers when I connected them to my Marantz, so they will need to be looked at.

Thoughts?

Opinions?

Recommendations for restorers who won’t bankrupt me?

Thank you in advance.

Superb system and well worth restoring.

Whereabouts in the world are you located?

Its an amazing system that I loved for years. Depending on your expertise and/or willingness to learn about loudspeaker and electrical repair, it can make an amazing and rewarding project.

You should still try to  restore them because they are still fantastic sounding devices.
