    Thank you Peter. It took over 4 years, as the Beocord is very difficult to service, and you can’t test it without reassembling the entire unit. I find the 5000 such a beautiful cassette recorder, and am thrilled with the renewed sound quality. I appreciate your comment.

    Thank you guys, I appreciate your comments. Johan, I admit to be memorized by the VU meters. And indeed, somethings, like a complicated Beocord 5000 ARE worth waiting for.

    Adam,

    The sound quality went completely to bits. That is to say, it is terrible. I have a Beocord 8004, 9000, and 4500 and none required recapping to date. But one by one these 5000’s died. Worse, I had one of my three 5000’s recapped and it wasn’t enough. Plus one of my decks smells strongly of electronic burning even when turned off.
