My Beocord 5500 is experiencing a similar symptom, new belts and feet from DSP (surprisingly straight forward replacement). I wish I got the roller wheels, I had to reorder

Unfortunately, tape will play side 1 but…

• side 2 volume is muddy and lower
• press [turn] side 2 plays for about 1-3sec. STOP ->Standby
• FF or REW – LEDs show movement, but no tape spin, about 5sec. STOP ->Standby

Also noticed the head travel seems ‘sticky’ doesnt “slide” easily. (I going to go thru the whole Transport area: capstans, head, wheels, with a Qtip and some IPA )

Any suggestions for essentials lubricant and lubrication points? (if any)

RE: BEOsystem 5500 to Smart speakers

HI BEOWorld,

I just inherited a BEOsystem 5500 with two enormous JBL cabinets. But Im currently setup with smart speakers in my apt . Is there a Bluetooth “Transmitter” for sending the BEO audio around the house to smart speakers? For better or worse, Im locked into the Apple ecosystem and would hope to find a DIY or compatible product in 2025

(Im still unsure if I’d utilize the Speaker 2din ports or some other BEOMaster connection to a ‘transmitter’ unit)

Thanks for any insights!

HI BEOWOrld,

I love the BEOtooth development. Bravo!

I just inherited a BEOsystem 5500 with two enormous JBL cabinets. Im currently setup with smart speakers in my apt . IS there a similar project for a Bluetooth “Transmitter” for sending the BEO audio around the house to smart speakers?

Im excited to get a BEOTooth, and any insights on how I could bring this vintage classic into my modern listening home. (Im still unsure if I’d utilize the Speaker 2din ports or some other connection to a ‘transmitter’ unit)
