Okay - no more help required. Unfortunately I've just fried the amp. Working on it live, prised out the amplifier board and something shorted. Sparks and crackles ensued, and now i have minuscule output on all channels. I'm now abandoning all hope of repair and have sadly consigned the BM 6000 to the cupboard. To be fair, the amp has always

Ha, you've ventured deeper into your BM6000 than I've dared upto this point! I've got into mine as far as replacing indicator lamps, visually checking the most easy to access components, and squirting some switch cleaner into the pots. I have a multimeter, although not much use for checking the transistors unless I know the pinouts of them

Hi, I have a 4 channel Beomaster 6000 (together with it's tangential beogram brother), which I have enjoyed since acquiring them at a miraculous price a couple of years ago. However, I've only been able to run the amp, up to this point, as a stereo amp using the rear two channels, as one of the front channels was completely non-functioning.

Lets try these pictures again (resized so you can see them properly)... BM6000 (Note lack of illumination on the sliding scales. I've now replaced these bulbs and all is working fine): The Brick remote. (Mine calls itself a "control module, rather than the grander "commander"): BG6000: Cartridge: The 3400 turntable. (No LED - but

Hmm. I tried to post some images on here last night and it seems to have held my post for moderation... still hasn't appeared. I gave the BM a bit of testing last night, but unfortunately was a little tight for time so I've not managed to do a great deal. I was just using the headphone sockets to test, as my speaker wire hadn't yet arrived

Hmm. Okay, knowing that I might now carefully attack the speaker with the hoover and try and get all the little bits that might have dropped inside. [Edited this post to remove huge images - i've stuck some smaller ones in below....] Can anyone put me in touch with Tim? It'd be great to see what it's possible to, or is worth, sorting out

Brilliant, thanks - so I take it if the 4 channel amp doesn't work and I wanted to wire the BG into a stereo amp I'd need to solder up an adapter using pins it pins 2,4 and 5 - just taking the front channels? Thanks for the offer of the records too, that's fantastic - though I'm dubious as to whether Perry Como can be improved by hearing

Aaahhh... So the RIAA is effectively the phono preamp then? (I just followed the link in your first post - should have looked at that before!) So am I right in thinking that the output signal from the BG6000 will already be line-level, and will go into any aux channel on any amp without requiring a specific phono channel or preamp box? If that's

I took some headphones into the shop and had a quick try... one channel did seem noticably quieter than the other, although I only had a short time to check it , and the lights that illuminate the balance control readout had gone, so it could have been trimmed a way over to one side. Or there could have been a poor connection in the headphone socket

Blimey! Cheers for all the information, that's fantastic... Ben, replacing dust caps on the woofers sounds like a great option, I had no idea that was possible. I assume the bits weren't too expensive? Can I contact Dillen through this site? They looked a bit dubious when I first inspected the speakers, and were slightly sticky to the touch
