PhilLondon: £450 would only give you a Beocenter 2500. Not the external amp, and speakers, and Beolink 5000. p. Oh! Sorry, I never buy any of this stuff! I did hear a rumour though that if you advertise all this stuff together then you don't get so much money for it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Peter : PL212: That, specifically, is a photo of a 2300 DAB which was for sale at bbuy.dk in Copenhagen. I know because they kindly allowed me to photograph it. :) How much did it sell for? £681 What a bunch of plonkers!

If you are talking 1200 US$ then that sounds expensive to me but remember that I am only familiar with UK prices. You could probably buy that system on eBay UK for £450-500 tops. Your Beogram 3000 will require the use of an external RIAA pre amp to function with this system so that is yet more expense. The amplifier is no better than your Beolab

Sunny: im picking up a new fuse tonight. i thought about doing something like you suggested but decided not to. i will report back. (still hoping its the fuse!) The original fuse is of a type that looks ok even when it is blown. Been there, done that several times! The only way is to check it with a meter of substitute a known good one.

Jandyt: Bold writing or not, I can't believe you made that suggestion Chris! Neither can I! ! Be careful Chris, the Statzpolizie will have you for it. Look what happened to me!!

Yes it can be ordered as a spare although I don't know the part number. It's used for building the eye into a plasterboard wall. My dealer ordered it for me around 9 months ago. I remember being surprised at the price!

This is a safety mechanism. The amplifier has a problem probably in the output stage. The system switches off to prevent further damage. You need to find a service agent who will tackle items of this age.

harrykym: Do you know how to change the bulbs? Thanks Yes! It is not as simple as just changing a light bulb. They are soldered onto a small pcb at the back of the light chambers. To gain access you need to remove the complete front of the machine. I suggest that you upgrade your membership of this site to at least silver (£15) and download the

Unless the unit is not working or is dirty and needs a good clean then I would recommend that you leave well alone. I guess the unit is quite old and a number of things can go wrong on dismantling. The securing devices (clips) on the doors can become detached. Remedy, new doors at £40 each! The plastic clips on the casework can break as they have

I'm with Peter here. At £275 with a working Beogram/Stylus it is good value.
