yes, the B&O Beogram 8000 uses the TOTL MMC20L cartridge which this table came with. I looked at it under a magnifier and the tip looks in great shape and the cantilever is straight. If the needle/cartridge needs repair I can either send it to Soundsmith or send it to Axel in Germany which would be faster.
what ever happened to this table must have happened early after purchase. Was put into storage but they stored it very well.
Most likely it's a bad solder joint/s so I will redo all of them and recap it. this should take of the issue it has.
Some of the guys over on the Beoworld forum know their stuff and are helping with the repair if I need assistance.
Dillen is sending me the recapping kit and new stainless steel tachodisc.
Hopefully with some mod this will be a killer table. I will post once I have it up and running.
