Can buy this, looks nice but how to use it
Brengen & Ophalen
Wow, what a lovely set! The red things on the top are test/alignment tapes, right?
Is it? I don't know...
Looks like a Flux Capacitor
Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
How do they sound?

... looking at the labels I'd assume:"red boxes" reference tapes/cassetes for aligning de-emphasis, equalization, position of rec/pb head
"k3 meter" measuring the 3rd order harmonic distortion
"wow & flutter meter" to measure "speed -unevenness" of mechanical devices like turntables, reel to reelor cassette tape recorders
"audio monitor" - sorry, can't read the lables - seems to be "multi-purpose"
Nice items.Due to aging, the tapes will be useless by now. Indeed mine has been for more than 15 years but they are still nice collection pieces.The Distortion and the Wow/Flutter meters are not particularly rare, the AM1 Audio Monitor however, is a bit but nice additionsto the workshop or B&O collection.

Dillen...hello. I am new to forum. I have seen you answer some posts about my same turntable. I have aquired a beogram 1600 turntable. Had trouble, it works, but makes bruce springsteen sound like a girl. I brought to repair place, who said they cleaned it and found a small broken "toothy" belt. They said they did not know exactly where part came from, but part is not avail anymore. ??!! Yes, i was confused also. I cannot find part list online. Can you help? I already spent much money to repair place and still.. Augh! Thanks so much Barb. Mbarbarajensen@gmail.com
Hi Barb,
The toothed belt is part of the fine speed adjustment. That is the tiny fingerwheel just above the square operating plate.My guess is that this part has broken, maybe the speed potentiometer too, or not been put together correctly.I am not sure if I have one but I will look if needed.

Well leslie, did you go for them ? At the very least collectable.
