    B&O MMC 20 CL-B cartridge -- is this new or used?

    My father passed away last year and left me his b&o beogram 4004, as well as this cartridge. I'm not experienced with turntable cartridges -- it seems that this might be used, and he put it away back in the original case, OR it could be unused. Looking at it, i don't know which is which. On...

    B&O 3000 (5231) idler gear "rumble"

    I am reviving a B&O 3000 (5231 with the radial tonearm). It is in very good cosmetic condition and the automatic functions all seem to work correctly. But it is noisy - I am hoping someone can help me get it to run more quietly. The idler gear is creating a rumbling noise as it is driven by the...

    BEOVOX MS150 MIDRANGE replacement domes?

    I re-foamed my old MS-150 speakers a few years back, and in the process had to glue the voice coils back on the midrange (also labeled phase-link) drivers. That repair has since failed (mostly due to my shotty repair work) and I am looking for replacement domes. I can find plenty of...

    B&O HT3702s found at the tip! AirPlay Conversion...

    Picture this: I’m at the local tip, getting rid of old crap when a cheerful chap pipes up, “You into speakers? Got these for you” - and hands me a pair of battered 1970s beauties—miles of tangled wire still attached. Straight away I spotted the wonky B&O badge peeking through the grime. Could...

    I must be missing something here...

    I'm troubleshooting a B&O Beogram turntable, part of a Beomaster 6500 system. The turntable connects to the receiver and starts on command from the remote as expected. The output of both channels is highly distorted, like blown car radio speaker distorted. I thought the simple fix would be...

    The RX-2 dust cover is same as on the 1800 and several other models but different from the RX. I removed the "friction pieces" thinking they needed to be off to remove the cover.

    What's the better / more preferable B&O turntable? 1100/1600/1700/2000?

    I just got myself a nice B&O sp-15 cartridge. Unfortuntely its not a universal cart and I dont have a tt to use it, so I'm thinking of buying a B&O for it. I think the cart was intended for the beograd 4000, but these tt's are kind of expensive, so I'm considering something cheaper. I might be...

    B&O Beovox 3702 Woofer Advice Needed

    My sister used these speakers for over 25 years and I just got them back. Unfortunately, a "friend" "repaired" the woofers with some RadioShack 40-1044 units and the sound is no longer quite right... Does anyone have specs on the woofer or suggested replacements? There are some B&O woofers out...

    B&O S75 recap help

    I'm going to buy some caps for my Bang & Olufsen S75's and I need a little advice. From the looks of the crossover schematic there is a cap and resistor across the input terminal. Would it be better to replace it with a film cap or an electrolytic? I'm pretty sure all of the caps in there now...

    B&O Beovox M100-2 Recap Advice

    Hi guys! I scored a nice pair of Beovox M-100-2's this week. Overall good shape, but they'll need some work (such as a midrange refoam, no biggie). I tore into them to take a look at the crossovers, which are pretty impressive. They have these big, huge and dessicated capacitors, and I...

    Beogram B&O TX2/MMC3 Question

    I'm looking to purchase a preamp for use with my Beogram TX2 TT so that I can transfer from LP to CD media. Am I correct in assuming the MMC3 "moving micro cross" cartridge to be basically a moving coil cartridge?
