Welcome to Beoworld ! The red power lamp (and signal meter backlight) will come on at power on. If they don't one or both have blown. The red arrows will light up when an FM signal strong enough is received and help you tune in spot on. It's a wonderful classic design piece. Definitely worth restoring and keeping. Martin

Welcome to Beoworld ! Is the tonearm too high or the sensor arm too low ? Martin

0,6W resistors should be fine. And I noticed you lifted them up from the board a bit, which will also improve cooling. The extreme left driver transistor (the left one on the left output board) could need a bend to the cooling fin. Maybe both of them. They end up very close to the black metal tray that goes under the connector bay (when mounted) and

The BM8000 was a no-compromise receiver. If metal resistors were better, they would have been used - and they are actually used in selected positions here and there. 25 years have passed and lots of new technology is available now, but I'm not sure all of it improves performance just because it's new. Clearly the hybrid amplifiers did not improve

Speaking of resistors; The ones you have mounted looks like metalfilm resistors. I think, I would have preferred to stay with carbon types in the amplifier sections. Another thing is the power rating of the resistors. Several of the original resistors are 1/2 Watt components and they ran hot (your board is not particularly burned!). Your resistors look

Very impressive job, you do here ! ! Martin

The grills can be removed but it's rarely needed in practice. Not too difficult to disassemble but you will have to countersink the nails to behind the cloth when assembling them again. Post a photo or two of your speakers and we may be able to guide you with regards to refurbishing the wooden cabinets. Martin

I'm afraid the info on both Beocentral and Beoworld is wrong. Both versions of the Beovox 1600 were definitely two-way. Here the type 6228 from my own collection (actually the exact same speakers as pictured on both Beoworld and Beocentral): Martin

You'll regret not trying one. Martin

Beovox 1600 are quite rare but wonderful panel speakers. It's correct that two versions were produced, but both versions are two-way. Type 6219 (mk1) has a Peerless cone tweeter and Heco woofer Type 6228 (mk2) has a Philips dome tweeter and Celestion woofer. The Beovox 1200 (not 1600) was available in no less than three different versions, both
