Hi, I have just bought a 1970s Beogram 2000 with the 7 pin din plug cut off!

can anyone help me with how to wire and connect a new plug to it please?

there are 6 coloured wires, I have no idea which wire goes to which pin on a new 7 din plug?

thank you all

Apologies, I meant 1980s beigram 2000

I suggest you look at Beotech HERE

Also, this thread may also be helpful HERE

Can anyone help me with this? I have no idea which colour wire goes to which pin on a new 7 din plug.

all I think I k ow is that the yellow wire is for data link…

 

thanks again

If you go to the BeoWorld main website and look at the top right you will see a link to Beotech. There are loads of wiring diagrams on there that may assist.

Thank you for that, I’ll have a look. My brain doesn’t work in this way with these things ?‍? but I’ll see if i can work this out.

cheers

Couldn’t find this in there.
I can’t find a colour wiring diagram for pin on a 7 din plug for Beogram 2000.

ill keep looking. If anyone has ever replaced the 7 din plug I’d be so very grateful if you could let me know the colour wire sequence.  Thank you

[Stoobie]

My brain doesn’t work that way either 🙂

Hopefully someone can assist

Thanks for that Keith. I appreciate it.

the yellow wire in that image of the 7 pin plug is going to #1 pin. I thought it should be #7 pin…

The photos are helpful but I can’t see which pins the coloured wires are connecting to. Also the silver wire I can only assume is the ground wire, which I thought was the main black one (there are 2 black wires, one thinner than all the rest.

im so confused, starting to wish I’d never bought this, but I did t k owned but the din plug off…

 

thank you though

[BowieRoxy]

That should say – didn’t know he’d cut the din plug off… my phone is playing up…

I have opened up the DIN connector on a broken Beogram 2000 I have and these are my findings:

Blue and thin black wire is not connected. Thick black wire is connected to the metal part of the plug

Shield is connected to pin 2 in the DIN connector, red to pin 5 and white to pin 3 (note that pin 6 and 7 is unscrewed in this connector)

Yellow is as you have noted yourself datalink and is connected to pin 6

Hope this helps in getting the Beogram functional again

[BowieRoxy]

Wow, that’s fantastic  thank you very much for that!

the only thing I’m not sure about now then is how do I know which pin is 1-7? How do I know the number sequence of the pins?

you’re a lifesaver, thank you my friend ??

[BowieRoxy]

Also, what is ’shield’?

can you tell I know absolutely nothing about these things ?

[Madskp]

Shield is the bare metal wire

Take a look at this post fo the pinout. On some connector the numbers are engrave in the plastic

Thank you again.

just for an idiot guide and to be totally clear, you mean shield are the bare wires that surround the coloured wires inside the cable when I cut it back?

there is no other bare wire or wires so I guess that’s what you mean?

That is correct

[BowieRoxy]

Last question, honest… do all of these wires have to be soldered into the plug?

If you not gonna use it with a datalink compatible Beomaster the yellow wire is not needed.

The rest is mandatory

[BowieRoxy]

If I get it working I was going to buy a beomaster 2000 to go with it
