Is there any chance that this is part of the auto-stop mechanism? Some tapes had foil leaders and when the end of the tape was reached it would form a circuit which would then trigger a release solenoid. Obviously the parts involved had to be insulated from the rest of the chassis, by either mica shims or plastic washers, depending upon which machine

It can be superglued back in place. but you'll need patience. If you can obtain another then that is better.

It's a pretty good amp, its a bit........er................B&O in the design. Take care when you lift up the top half of the amp, the tuner board looks like it can hinge downwards from the upper board, but it isn't quite that easy. It is just at the edge of being discrete components with mechanical controls like the Boemaster 3000, after

Lots and lots of screws. When you lay the speakers face down to work on them, make sure you lay them on a surface that will not damage the covers, and do not allow them to slide whilst you are working, use something like a couple of towels on the floor before laying them down. I expect that if you are capable of handling a soldering iron etc, you will

You can also add that the older Beovox range seem to be fine, the Beovox 5000, 4000, 3000, 2400 etc. The S45 range, including the S30,60,75 all seem ok, but the slightly later uniphase that culminate in the M150's are also pretty bad for foam rot. The Beovox 5700 are ok, but the others in that range, such as 4702, 3702 etc have some kind of rubber

The BM3400 is one of the best. so you'd expect the closely related BM2000. The BM4400 is a silghtly differant sound, and to me its just a matter of personal taste. The BM2200 is very nearly as good.

P : Evidence of oil leak from right side landing gear. S : Evidence removed. P : No 2 engine leaking oil S : Oil seepage is normal and within limits, other 3 engines not seeping enough.

........it looks so good that you have decided to keep it?

'She sells sanctuary' - The Cult Beomaster 4400 + Bevox 5700 - Its a bit brutal but very exciting and not quite as thuggish as perhaps 'Wildfower' by The Cult would be. 'Equinoxe' - Jean Michelle Jarre Beosystem 6500 + Pentavox .Yup a ibt of an obvious one but they were practically made for each onther

Ha! Read the messages posted, I especially like the person who noted that the 48k gold connectors are exaclty twice as good as any other gold they have ever seen If the manufacturers make such a basic stupid error in their sales pitch, you just have to wonder about the rest of their claims.
