Vintage B&O Bang & Olufsen Beocenter 7700 in Rosewood for Spares or Repair This auction is for a classic B&O Beocenter 7700 Music System with Record Player, Cassette Player & Radio When it came to me the Tonearm had been detached and I replaced it, it was then working. I replaced the belts on the cassette deck and this was then working. The tuner was working until there was a loud buzz and the system shut down. Since then it will power up but does not respond to any controls. The amps are still working as you can hear the system come on. This may be a simple fix for someone who knows these systems but it is beyond me. Other issues:The Record Deck cover has detached after the B&O double sided foam has perishedOne of the hinges that the Record Deck lifts on has broken and the aluminium deck is loose.The connections from the Amp to an internal circuit board has broken, see pictures, this just means that you cannot switch speaker outputs but you can still connect a pair of speakers to the trailing wires. I will include the broken piece of the cicuit board so it could be repaired.I will also include the old tonearm and all the screws that have been removed There are various cosmetic blemishes, nothing major but it is a used item. NB: There is no cartridge included but I am selling an MMC 3 Cartridge on a separate listing. Please see pictures and feel free to ask me any questions. Due to the delicate nature of this item we recommend collection from Taunton or we can organise a courier at cost. Please see our other listings for more Bang & Olufsen Equipment including another Beocenter 7700 From Beocentral:The ultimate 7000 series music centre. Launched alongside Beocenter 7007, it shared the latter’s styling updates, but went further, with an aluminium cover over the turntable, opened with a pushbutton and incorporating an automatic light, which matched the cover over the tape and programming sections. This made the range-topping Beocenter look very sleek, and clearly different from the other models.All the technical improvements from the 7007 were also included, and were in some cases improved, an example being the standard fitting of an MMC 3 pickup. The big news however was the two-way remote control system, based around an infra red transceiver in the Beocenter and a new type of terminal, the Master Control Panel. The Master Control Panel 7700 featured three LCD display panels, the data on which was sent from the Beocenter 7700 via and infra red link. This may seem like a gimmick, but in the context of multiroom operation it proved invaluable. It became possible for the first time to tell from a distant room what radio station was selected, or exactly what the cassette recorder was doing. The system also worked in the same room as the Beocenter, though the large LED readouts on the Beocenter front panel meant that a simpler terminal could be used, the Beocenter Terminal from the 7007 being suitable and available as an accessory.Choice of loudspeakers was left to the owner, but Beovox S 80.2 was suggested, with the new ‘C’ range of compact models possibly for a second room. Later on, the standard pickup was changed to the MMC 4, and the SC 77 cabinet became available. Throughout the life of the 7000 series, the potential customer was urged “not to mistake them for ordinary music centres”. The Beocenter 7700 reinforced this point beyond any doubt.Payment within 3 working days, returns only accepted if the item is not as described. Combined postage offered where applicable. For auction items please wait for an updated invoice before payment. If purchasing more than one Buy it Now item please use the basket and request the total amount and invoice at checkout.

The diamond profile was similar to that of the MMC20CL being line contact. The way to look at these cartridges was to imagine an elliptical profile but with both the front and rear facets being scooped out. In this way the vertical contact surface was maximised and the horizontal element kept to a minimum.The MMC1 and MMC2 were essentially the same cartridge with the MMC1 using the best specified diamond tips. The MMC system was carried over from the SP series but taken to an even smaller level.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 cartridgeIf 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.MMC2 SpecificationsNude multi-radial Contact Line diamond, mounted on a sapphire cantilever Tracking force - grams 1 Diamond Stylus Cont. line nude Cantilever tube Sapphire Effective tip mass mg 0,3 Compliance mg/mN 30 Frequency 20-20000 Hz=/-dB 1,5 Channel separation 1000>dB 25 Output mV/cm/s RMS 0,6 Cartridge weight gram 1,6 I dont like to disguise the postage and packaging costs in the item price.
