Couldn’t it be the top piece to be cracked and soon to break?
That’s my fear each time I need to remove the cartridge. Those plastics are very old and prone to break and I also know there is 3D print model available around and people who sell that part.

Worth a look.

Hi,

Does it behave the same way when you remove the belt? If not, it may be the belt that is not correct at put to much strain on the motor or something like that.
It is common in this forum to only trust belts sold by Danish Sound Parts, sponsor of the this place. Nevertheless, try the deck without belt and see if the motor spins. If it does, try to gently pinch the pulley and see if it stops easely. In all case, your motor will surely benefit  from an overhaul (lubrication).

Also know that speed unstability may also come from the electronic part, namely a relay with corrodes contacts or bad trimers.

Good Luck.

My plan is to get one working remote out of the two

If both display are likely working it is more than the majority of BL5000 still in use (got one myself without display) and both will deserve proper repair.

I can’t help regarding capacitors but you might find help searching BWI or BWII.

About the display: you may wait for a confirmation from any other member but when I was still believing my faulty display was from bad soldier join, I bought a T soldier tip fitted with some sort of rubber, made to secure the kind of bond that link the remote to the display. It was pretty cheap so maybe trying it would help someway. In my case it was the ribbon cable that was broken so the tool was of no use.

Good luck.

Bonjour Julien,

Problem looks like obvious and the solution too: replace the idler wheel. Forum Sponsor Danish Soundparts, beside being a sponsor is also the best B&O spare parts provider and may help you. “May” because I remember that kind of part is quickly sold out but it worth a try.

Another lead: find a technique or someone able to flatten the wheel. It happens sometimes to find solutions thinking “out of the box” and it may exists one. If so, please come back to us and share your experience.

Good luck.

Hi,

A Beo5/6 is never dead or maybe sometimes when it’s found in what was before the living room of a sunk luxury yatch.

Search this forum and also BWI and BWII, it’s all explained: a long and daunting process but it do work 90% of the time.

Good luck and keep us updated.

My point of view…

Future prices are impossible to predict: you can have buyers from recreated editions that want to cash-in their investment and will sell BG4002s at unbeliveable prices, you can have common sellers surfing the wave and selling at same price that original items and you also can have people who just want to part with a once loved deck and ask a fair price.

Here in France BG4002 can sometimes be sold as low as 50€ “full set”, I bought two that needed not that much care for 90€ each and you also can often see items in good or less condition going up to 3500€.

So to me the real value is how much you want for yours if you sell one or how much you’re ready to pay to have one in good condition.

My and mine only point of view is that more than 400€ with cartridge included is a steal. But to be fair, if was ready to sell one it would be for more, so…

Merry Christmas to all BW members.

Hi, I’d like to add that Autosense in my Playmaker is a little bit wobbly in my case: Airplay start do work. Line in do work. But cross switch do not work at all.

If I’ve use line in then Airplay Auto sense doesnt work anymore. Nor if I stop Analogue in nor if it is just hjiacked with an airplay signal. I need the to select the entries with the remote.

Maybe a local issue but needs to be said if your use the Playmaker in heterogenous setup.

Cheers.

Hi and welcome to Beoworld,

If nothing happens, check power supply first. Then if you’re lucky, just the CD eye.

If you’re not, it may be related to whatever CPU or EPROM error and then you’re in bad bed sheets!.

All issues are documented in BWI and BWII.

Any BS9000 deserve to be restored and all the pain for that vanish as soon as the unit turns on again.

Good luck and let us know.

Hi,

It’s not 100% accurate but, I had that catalog reprinted and it does looks pretty good in A4-ish.

I replicate all the text so it should be crystal clear when printed.

Let me know…

Hi Lausvi,

All covers being based on photos, the only way to turn them into a “averagely good” poster (say 40×60 cm) would be to have a very hi quality, hi res scan of the cover. because you need to cancel the dot matrix effect of the printing screen by blurring the picture and then sharpening it again. Another method would be to have an hi resolution photo shoot of the cover that “may” cancel that printing evidence.

I’ll look if I have in my catalog collection any of those and see what I can do. In the meantime could you tell me what poster size you would like ?

Hi Lausvi,

Could you kindly share a direct link to the hires PNGs?

Also if you mind, a link to the poster you would like to have.

Thank you.
