      I am currently using

      4 x Beolab 8000

      1 x Beolab 2

      1 Beolab 7-4

      together with my Beosystem 7000 and Almando. I have just acquired (well, I am going to fetch them tomorrow night) 2 x Beolab Penta Mk. III (price in Denmark 258 USD), and after restoring them, they will take over for two of the Beolab 8000s in my surround setup.

        I guess you mean your Beocord 6500. If the drawer will not open, you can gently pull it out. The tape should be possible to lift up from the side closest to you.

          Thank you for part 1. I could also read that you made some modifications so that the sound does not ‘exit’ the amplifier to go through the blind plug, saving quite a bit of signal path. Any advice on how to do this?

            Beolit 700 – replacing the dial cord.

            Argh – that took a long time and there was a learning curve. First of all finding the right diagram for the cord path – look in the service manual for Beolit 500, because the one found in the service manual for Beolit 700 shows something completely different. After fiddling with the damn string – that I got for free in a Danish fishing equipment store – for literally hours, I figured that I should have a different approach. In the beginning I had tied both ends to the spring which proved to be a huge mistake. New approach: Tie one end to the spring, wind the string four times around the tuner dial knob, wrap it in the correct path and then tie the second end to the string and then snap the spring back down. Job done. Now I just need a few pills for my headache.

              Just my few cents here. Everyone says that the laser needs to be replaced but I found that not to be necessary at all.

              I was given a Beosound Century by a lady for free (my luck), and she said that the CD didn’t work (well, the cassette also had problems and the remote control also had issues, all of which were easy to fix). True enough. It would spin a few times and refuse to play most CDs.  I came across a video on YouTube that showed how to clean the lens and the mirror behind it, and that did the trick. It was a bit fiddly but not too demanding even for a novice. The video is here: https://youtu.be/qXGubkovMEE?t=345
