Hello everyone. So after I had so much trouble with the Beocenter 9500 (I still have it and will fully restore that eventually), I found a Beomaster 7000 and Beogram CD 7000. I’ve always thought these were pretty cool systems, and some of the last of that style from B&O, so I picked it up.
The Beomaster works great, no issues or complaints. Condition is very good as well. Only a few light scratches and some very minor fading of the black paint on the top where the amplifier must have gotten warm enough to discolor it at some point.
The Beogram CD has been a little hit and miss for me so far. Condition wise, it looks excellent. Both of these items have been well taken care of. The first time I hooked it all up, it played a CD for me perfectly with no issues. Then when my Mom came over to listen to it, I put in a CD, and it would just skip like mad. The audio was un-listenable.
I’ve noticed that the CD tray would not fully close under it’s own power, so I do suspect a weak belt. However, I doubt that is the only issue. After that CD failed to play, I found that if I put my finger under the bottom of the CD tray and lift up on it very gently, it would play just fine. So maybe it needs some leveling adjustments?

Anyway, thanks all for sharing in this journey with me!
