A new black lead was prepared. I used a silicone covered type that is a closer visual match to the old lead than any PVC type. Not a lot of it will be visible anyways, but even that will look right. The leads were soldered to the new capacitors and shrink tubing fitted for insulation. They fit nicely with a snug squeeze as the carton is closed so will

The three leads were cut as long as possible, cleaned off wax etc. and put aside. The lower "compartment" was also cleaned as good as possible and a piece of thin carton was prepared to use as double insulation between the old paper roll capacitors still in the carton (you can see the round shape of the paper/foil rolls) and the new electrolytic

And the cardboard box can be opened. The original capacitors take up most of the room in the carton. The excess volume at the bottom of the carton is usually filled with wax, pitch and/or some tar-like substance. In this one it looks and feels like wax. It is a messy job but I was happy to see that I didn't have to empty the whole carton. The lower

Quite good speakers for their size. The Beovox S55 came in two versions, one had a true dome midrange, the other had a conventional cone midrange hidden behind a "dummy" dome. Common problems are aging capacitors and foam rot to the woofer surrounds. I can supply a good used original tweeter (Philips 2404 257 43002) and also a capacitor kit

I never saw a Type 2403. Where did you see it ? Martin

A good place to start would be to isolate the rectifier from the transformer secondary and see if the fuse still blows. If it does - the transformer or power switch is at fault. If not - the rectifier or something drastic around the voltage regulators and/or amplifiers has gone wrong. The capacitors on the regulator module PCB are causing many strange

Welcome to Beoworld ! The same driver is used in some of the other larger Beovox models, where it plays the role of woofer, like Beovox S120 / M150 / M150.2 / MC 120.2 / MS150 so I suggest you find a good used original to replace the damaged one and then send them all in for refoam'ing. There's nothing like the original woofers and matching

In short, all the cylindrical ones on the boards. And don't forget the rectifier. The capacitor kit contains more than 60 components. Martin

Does your Beocord 1200 have twin belts from the motor to the large capstan flywheel ? Well, maybe not really that expensive but the belt set is EUR 30 incl. p/p. and comes with detailed mounting instructions with photos and text. Martin
