Original Bang & Olufsen MMC5 Cartridge/StylusUk stock ready for dispatch NOW Sounds greatChecked on a spectrum analyser, delicate, accurate and precise matching perfectly to its published specificationTracking perfectly with 1.5gram vertical tracking force Courtesy of Beoworld.org MMC stands for Moving Micro-Cross; the patented moving-iron principle upon which all B&O cartridges were based. This unique system employed a cross-shaped armature which, among other advantages, guaranteed exceptional stereo separation since each channel moves on a separate axis. The job of any pickup cartridge is to transform the records physical profile (groove modulation) into corresponding electrical signals (which are then amplified or enlarged by the amplifier and turned into audible sound waves by the loudspeaker. A cartridge must perform three separate and exacting tasks if it is to do this job successfully. It must function mechanically (the movements of the stylus in the groove); it must function magnetically (using the physical movements to create changes in a magnetic field); and it must function electrically (using the changes in magnetic flux to generate an electrical current). At each stage, one type of energy is transferred into another, quite different, type. And the transfer must be perfect, with no energy lost and none added from extraneous sources.No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed. However, by understanding the relationships between the three transfer stages and continually applying refined engineering techniques, B&Os belief was that each stage of cartridge improvement would bring each successive cartridge closer to the ideal. Record wear and the cartridge If you take music seriously the value of your record collection is likely to be high. Many of your records are likely to be irreplaceable. You will also know that the signals pressed into your vinyl discs are very fragile indeed. The pickup cartridge can be the discs worse enemy since an ill-suited cartridge can mark a record for life in a single play. While B&O is aware that cartridge specifications are inter-related, their research shows consistently that Effective Tip Mass (ETM) is one of the major factors affecting record wear. ETM is the equivalent of the amount of inertia the groove sees in moving or accelerating the stylus tip. Consequently, the higher the ETM value, the higher the force required for a given constant acceleration. Obviously, more force results in more wear. Three elements contribute to ETM. The stylus tip (diamond) contributes with its entire weight and mass. The armature contributes between 5 - 20% of its weight and mass; the cantilever around 30%. B&O has been able to reduce ETM substantially by refining these elements and building them into an integrated unit. The result is a system which not only reduces damage to the groove walls dramatically, but also provides exceptional performance at all frequencies.

Weve just had a huge delivery of beautiful Bang & Olufsen items as well as some non-B&O Audio Visual equipment so please do check the See Other Items or visit our Shop to see what we have. Theres something for everyone in there, all at great prices. In this auction we have **for parts or repair** a : Bang & Olufsen BeoGram 8002 Record Deck - in really good cosmetic condition! One elderly owner from brand new this unit was last serviced back in March 2001 then put into storage not long after when he was sadly admitted to a nursing home. There it stayed in a loft for over 22 years until now. Type Number : 5636 Serial Number : 2676002 Condition : Excellent overall condition and well worth restoring. Please study the detailed images to give you a clear idea of condition. There are a few small areas of corrosion to the black matt coating here and there, notably around the stylus arm area when parked (under the aluminium cover and out of sight, but we should mention it) - and theres one little dink to the cover next to the dust cover (lid). The dust cover (lid) is actually in exceptionally good condition and has clearly been very well cared for. Its also worth noting the deck doesnt come with a stylus. However, we may be able to supply one at extra cost. Please ask if youd like us to source you one. Functionality : Sadly we cannot fully test this deck as it just gently hums when plugged in. Theres a flicker of light on the LED display when we try and power it up, so wed guess the display works. Clearly some kind of transformer / power issue which needs addressing. Not worth us sending it to our engineer as theres an inspection fee plus expensive hourly charges which will no doubt make the repair not worth it to us. This is for a restorer or electronics whizz to do and have a very cheap high-end and very collectible deck at the end of it. Sold as seen, for spares or repair, no returns. A fantastic restoration project. This one definitely needs saving, especially in this condition... Once repaired and restored these tend to fetch five figure sums now! Shipping : Its BIG and its HEAVY, but happy to pack it well and ship to any UK Mainland destination for £29.95. Conclusion : A lovely opportunity to buy a rare and very desirable classic piece of B&O. Any questions please ask, and thank you for looking!
