    Found everything for well under a grand. TT has the mmc2 Cart. Thoughts?

    nobody has one of these? I'm surprised. Oh well, just bought part of the setup, so I guess it'll be a surprise! :)

    I've lusted after Beograms since owning a 3000, ~72 => 92. The systems were just unobtanium for me.
    The 5500 & 6500 Beosystems look identical to me. I don't care for those which left controls outside of the Beogram dustcover w/slanted front. I bought a Beogram 1900 radial earlier this year, w/2 upper end carts.

    B&O speakers? I'm sure the foam surrounds would be shot. I've redone my 3702s twice; need it again.

    The electromechanicals might be questionable after what, ~ 25 years? But those aesthetics . . . .
