That would be mineral SAE30 since it contains the additives needed but do a google search on pre-oiled sintered bronze bearings and how to re-oil them. It's not just a matter of adding a couple of drops, the process involves boiling and the best results are achieved if you have a vacuum chamber but there are other ways. The bearings should be re

Sikkert, men send mig en PM (klik på mit navn ude til venstre og så "start conversation"). Og jeg skal bruge det 5-cifrede nummer på servo-printkortet, alternativt et foto af printkortet. Martin

Welcome to Beoworld ! It could be something else but the vast majority of read faults in these decks are caused by bad capacitors on the laser servo board. The electrolytic caps needs to be replaced and at least one of them needs to be a specific brand and type, namely the blue Philips axial C2103 as you will also notice if you do a forum search.

Wonderful ! Martin

I know someone in need of one woofer so, if possible, I would like to reserve the woofer. Martin

Once, while visiting friends, I borrowed my girlfriends nailpolish for locking a couple of tapehead azimuth screws. I cannot recommend you do the same. You'll never hear the end of it. Martin

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but language, please. Martin

No, you won't blow anything with LED's but many functions rely on the current flow through the lamps. The green tuning arrows would not work/indicate correctly. The volume control could become erratic and/or unstable and the three tonecontrol lamps form part of the 15V supply circuit in that their current draw is used to drain the 15V when going

No problem but do yourself a favour and check the lamps first. The lamps filaments become brittle with use and the unavoidable vibrations from servicing often break more filaments. The lamp kit is fairly cheap. I like to replace the lamps on all Beomasters of this type when they come in for service here. New lamps will give fresh life to them all and
