BRONZE MemberI am looking for someone in the UK โ ideally somewhere in the south east โ to fix the following โฆ
- Beogram 5500 (Type 5941, ~1988)- muting relay is probably not working correctly, as the LH channel more often than not only plays (very briefly) at needle drop / needle raise
- Master Control Panel (Type 1551, ~1989) โ the opto-reader is not working properly
Does anyone know who could help me?
Many thanks,
Julian (Mid Sussex, UK)

BRONZE MemberMight I suggest trying Quality Dream Audio for starters..they are based near Lewes. Ray has a lot of experience repairing B&O items of all eras, and can advise what is possible.
16 May 2023 at 13:09 #46653GOLD MemberTim Jarman is also in that area (Farnborough, Hampshire) and I can pass on his details if youโd like.
However, I hate to break it to you but the brief flash of music at stylus drop/raise on a Beogram is a classic sign of failed suspension on the cartridge. Your MMC will need a re-build.

FOUNDER MemberRon from http://www.beorepairs.comย (email: sales@beo.repair) rebuilt, recapped and fixed the tracking on my Beogram8002 a few years back. The deck had been mis-diagnosed by another UK repairer.
I believe there are things he can and cannot repair. The BG5500 I doubt will be a problem, but Im not sure on the remote.
Heโs based in North Shropshire / Market Drayton area.
