I bought an MX8000 recently, with a pin, hadn’t been used in years, and it was fine.
Want me to send you a remote, see if you can get it going?

Re: It's for free!
Ah, sorry. Totally misunderstood, thought you had the TV and no remote.
If that info came from a B&O engineer, I’d assume he knows at least a little more about B&O TVs than me
I’ll shut up now. Sorry.

Re: It's for free!
Right. I ‘think’ if using the Beolink 1000 remote… you press ‘menu’, the left arrow (or rewind) twice, then stop
From there, you can change, or delete the PIN.
I’ll actually confirm this was what I did when I’m back with the TV later. I’m sure that’s right though…

Re: It's for free!
Will give it a try, it’s a 4200 that has a pin - just a hassle to input each time I turn on.
Thanks
will let you know how it goes.
Thanks

Re: It's for free!
Before I try, do I do that button combination before i put my code in or do I power on put my code in and then the button combo?
Cheers.

Re: It's for free!
Got a few of my repro marquee holders going spare:
1 x Capcom Cute
2 x Jaleco Pony Mark III 25
One of the Ponys has bolts, the other doesn't, If I can find some I'll include them.

Just pay shipping. A charity donation would be nice if you see fit.
All three have been claimed.

GONE
Retrogamingcables packapunch MD2 RGB SCART
I struggled to get a reliable connection with this at the MD end. Even filed down the outer shield a bit to try and make it better. A new cable worked fine from the start. Might be okay, might need a new connector
Just pay postage (3.39?)

3x defective PS2 Tatacon controllers for Taiko no Tatsujin (I only have one pair of plastic bats or whatever you call those things you use to hit the drums, though) - they still work but only register like every third hit. I have one original box, too, if anybody wants that (it'll probably raise shipping costs, though).
Repairing them seems to be quite simple, there's tutorials on youtube, but I can't be bothered since we're moving house. gone/ only one tatacon controller (+ box) left, get it while it's hot!
J-pac Ultimarc, PS/2-version, new, comes with a PS/2-cable gone!
