I found this site for test tapes, dont know if it is active, for your speed dial drill the hole up one size and cut new threads. If I remember right its a 4 mm screw, Drill with 4.2 mm and cut 5 mm threads and put in a new 5 mm grub screw.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
No, I am going to get back to the 1500 later on.I postponed the renovation as I wanted to synchornize pinroller orderings, and then other things came in between , I will update later on.
Thats the site where I ordered test tapes.Expensive stuff, but I could not live without them
