habe diese Anlage bei einer Auflösung bekommen .der Receiver Beomaster 5000 und Beomaster Controll 5000 funktionieren perfekt.der Beocord 5000 möchte nicht herausfahren ( wahrscheinlich die Gummis defekt.).der Beogram 5000 funktioniert auch auf befehl der Master Controll 5000 ich denke der stecker für Tonabnehmer muß neu gelötet werden .macht auf einem Kanal komische Geräusche .Aufgrund des Hohen Gewichtes ist ein Versand nur möglich mit mehreren Paketen .Am besten aber doch nur für Abholer.

B&O Bang & Olufsen Beogram 5000 turntable - Restored & Fully Serviced. Excellent condition, lid has minor scratches, I’ve tried to get them in the photos but some are difficult to see. New rubber motor mounts fitted New drive belt Main bearing cleaned and lubricated Motor stripped and bearings recharged with oil in a vacuum chamber Sounds amazing! This model does not have a built in RIAA pre amp. Check out the Rega Fono MM mk3 I have listed if you need one - they pair beautifully. NO STYLUS INCLUDED Will be safely packaged with transport screws applied. Print out of user manual included. Thanks for looking!

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.

BEOMASTER 5000 + BEOGRAM CD 6500 + BEOCORD 6500 + MPC5000Beomaster 5000 Tuner/Amplifier 5000 MCP remoteTested and fully working, great sound quality from a classic vintage B&O. Probably the best built in preamp. BeoGram 5000. Comes with a MMC5 cartridge in excellent condition and which sounds amazing. BeoGram CD 6500. New capacitors fitted to the CDm Disc Drive Servo and New Tray Belt fitted. Beocord 6500Tape cleaned and lubricated and New Belt fitted, plus a New Tray Belt fitted. Cosmetically in great condition, some stacking marks due to age. Please review the photos. Pickup is most welcome. THE FOLLOWING IS COURTESY OF BEOWORLDBeoMaster 5000 Tuner/AmplifieManufactured: 1983 - 1986Designer: Jacob JensenColours: AluminiumLong, medium and FM wavebands were featured on this high-technology 2 x 55 watts receiver that served as the heart of Beosystem 5000 introduced in 1983.A frequency-synthesized tuner with automatic fine tuning and two-speed manual drive all contributed to fast, accurate location of radio programmes and superb reception quality. Nine station frequencies (on any combination of wavebands) could be stored in the Beomasters microcomputer memory for instant recall.The low-distortion stereo amplifier included a very advanced feature, unique to Bang & Olufsen: Automatic Power Handling Control. This special circuit continuously monitored the dynamic range and power of the signal and instructed the microcomputer to decrease volume if the combined effects of these two parameters threatened to cause amplifier clipping or damage to the speakers. This type of overload became increasingly common since the introduction of the Compact Disc, which can produce signals of enormous dynamic range, but it could not occur in Beomaster 5000.An internal, variable-speed fan ensured the proper dissipation of heat, even when the Beomaster was used in a stack format. Direct operation of all primary functions was available on the Beomaster itself should the Master Control Panel not be to hand. These controls were located beneath a hinged cover which sprang open at a touchBeomaster 5000 had no visible controls. Normal operation was by means of the Master Control Panel - a slim, table-top keypad that gave chair-side access to all functions including microcomputer programming and storage, timer facilities, status check, day and clock display, volume, tone and stereo balance adjustments and control of all sound sources. A programme-sequencing facility allowed you to pre-plan a whole evenings listening composed of record, radio and cassette music in any order and combination. Once set, this command performance would play continuously as instructed without further use of the controlsBeoGram 5000 Record DeckManufactured: 1983 - 1986Designer: Jacob JensenColours: AluminiumBeogram 5000s radial-tracking record deck was the perfect match for Beomaster 5000. Operation was entirely automatic. One touch on the PLAY control started the motor and activated the decks logic circuits which assessed the size and correct speed of the record and instructed the arm to lower the stylus into the run-in groove. This was a very fast-acting yet highly accurate control system which gave you music within about 8 seconds - far more quickly and gently than the human hand could guarantee. This system was also error-proof; for example, it was impossible to lower the stylus unless there was a record on the turntable, so expensive mistakes and accidents just couldnt happen.BeoGram CD6500 Compact Disc PlayerManufactured: 1989 - 1992Designer: Jacob JensenColours: Silver, Black, Whitef you wanted to indulge yourself with the finest sound quality then youd do no better than listening to your favourite pieces of music on Bang & Olufsens Beogram CD 6500. Beogram CD 6500 was a replacement for its predecessor, Beogram CD 5500.It played both 12cm and 8cm compact discs, and housed sophisticated and advanced digital technology. And it offered sound reproduction which would satisfy even the most demanding of listeners.BeoCord 6500 Cassette DeckManufactured: 1989 - 1991Designer: Jacob JensenColours: Aluminium, WhiteA light touch to the front of the Beocord 6500 cassette recorder released the loader which glided out slowly and silently in order to allow you to insert a cassette. You could use whichever type of cassette you prefer; or choose between Dolby B or C Noise Reduction systems... and rejoice in Bang & Olufsens patented HX-PRO recording system which ensured optimal sound reproduction, particularly in the difficult, high-frequency range. And, naturally, Beocord 6500 had auto-reverse so that both sides of the tape played as one. Beocord 6500 could be used as part of the Beosystem 6500hi-fi system. Auto Record level One of the less-pleasant chores in making a recording is setting level control to its optimum position. Setting it too low raises the level of background noise on the recording. Setting it too high makes the recording distorted at high music levels. With this in mind, Bang and Olufsen introduced an automatic record mode which was called Auto Record. Auto Record worked in two steps: when the record button was pressed for the first time, the cassette recorder went into a record pause mode, where the incoming signal was monitored. Under microprocessor control, the highest level was monitored and the record level was set at the optimum level for that music. On pressing the record button the second time, the tape was set in motion and the recording started, but continuing to make minor adjustments. If at any time during the recording, the level of music rose above the monitored level, the level control was lowered by exactly the amount required for the new optimum recording level. This method of setting the level control closely imitated the action of a highly skilled recording engineer, if asked to set the level for a recording. It was the best that could be done when the full recording could not be monitored before recording started. This feature incorporated a new method of monitoring the signal, which proved to be a more effective method over conventional methods. It was patented by the company with the patent number 158702.Master Control Panel 5000Manufactured: 1983 - 1987Designer: Jacob JensenColours: Silver, GreyThe main remote control for the Beosystem 5000, the MCP 5000 allowed full control of your Beosystem from your armchair. Two way control allowed the status of the system to be ascertained easily and complex timer programming was possible using the controls under the flip down panel.
