    Bang and... Ortofon? Yup. The creation of the B&O linear tracker with an Ortofon cartridge.

    The MMC2 cartridge on my Beogram 8002, which I resurrected from scrap about two years ago along with the rest of the 8000 system, finally died, nothing but a faint distorted mess on one channel, and the other one open circuit. The suspension was already a bit iffy when I got it (stylus canted to...

    Beogram 5000 DIN wiring

    I stupidly took apart the DIN wiring from the Beogram 5000 thinking it would be easy to install RCA turntable cables. It wasn't. I cut the wires inside the DIN connector and now want to resolder and use an adapter. But...I didn't take a photo and don't know which color wires go on which number...

    It was a long day at work yesterday and then when I got home I spotted the FB Marketplace Ad with a Bang and Olufsen Beomaster 5500 receiver, CD player, cassette deck and Master Controller for $150 my interest was piqued.

    Oddball Bang & Olufsen Beocord 8004 pics and questions

    Got this out of the trash and figured I'd rescue it. Power cord was cut along with the external DIN plug. They just snipped without even unplugging the damn audio cord leaving the external jack just hanging plugged in! Opened it up gave it a look, inside is clean, caps look "okay" for testing...

    B&O M75 woofer replace with the S75 woofer?

    The 10” woofer of my M75 has some friction going up&down it’s voice coil. I’m thinking of just buying a S75 woofer to replace it. I can’t find any M75 drivers. Or... recone? I can’t find any kits, so I’m not sure where to get the voice coil. Any advice would be appreciated.

    B&O Beosound 9000 CD player to vintage receiver?

    A few years back, I picked up a used Beosound 9000 6-CD changer -- mainly because it looks so cool and I imagined mounting it on the wall. I'm finally getting around to setting it up, but I don't know if I can get it to work through one of my vintage receivers (Marantz 2275, Fisher 500C...

Overall in good condition. Leaning toward parting it out to throw a lifeline to other owners, but also thinking it...
