Hi What is the purpose of the speaker link input on the BeoLab Penta Mk III? I assumed it allowed conection directly to the speakers in the Penta from an external amp e.g. a BM8000, i.e bypass the inbuilt amp, but the circuit suggest otherwise.

Hi Do anybody by chance have a set of the 3 small aluminium wheels and 2 small nylon springs that are found on the front edge of the tuner slider on a Beomaster 1001? Regards Richard

Just ordered mine Hopefully will have it by Monday My wife ordered me a copy back in December from Amazon but it still is yet to be dispatched so she has now cancelled the order. I'm eager to see which pieces the authors consider to be collectable and or rare. I'm under orders to reduce my collection and I would hate to sell the wrong pieces

I think a B&O dealer within Europe refusing to supply someone in another European country is against EU law.

Hi Is the hum on one or both channels? Do you get the hum from all sources, tape, phono & radio? Does it vary with the volume & tone controls? The problem is likely to be an leaky eletolytic capacitor and user Dillen will be able to supply you with a kit that will allow you or a technician to replace all of them. Regards Richard

The top amd bottom edges of the glass itself are slightly machined to allow a good grip. The glass can be removed by removing both catapillar

Hi Does anyone know if the DSS 4140 module will work with a BV3/32? Thanks

Graham The sad fact is that very few of us recognise how good these sets are so I think their value will only fall. Only a couple of months ago I brought an immaculate BV3-32 (2001) on its stand from a private seller for only 400 euro. I was amazed that they had "upgraded" to a HD ready Phillips TV.

Martin You are quite correct. It was a while since I restored this one and I should have rechecked my notes before mailing. It is one side of the record head that is open circuit. The machine plays back but only records on one channel. It sounded very nice through my BM4400 once I had recapped it and repaired the damage caused by a previous repair.
