The word WD40 should be treated as a swear word round here! Best leave that for loosening nuts I wouldn't even use on hinges or my bicycle lol! it is not a lubricating oil it is a Water Dispersent hence the letters WD! Anyway, the stuff you want is Singer oil, either at a local sewing shop or on ebay? If not singer make sure it is a light machine

Hi Soren hope you have a very merry christmas! You should really expet people to thank you sir as your threads have been interesting and the quality of your work has been far beyond that of what you would expect from someone so new to the hobby. Yours posts will be missed but make sure you have a good time over the coming holiday - just don't discover

Well as far as I can see that is it really. Talk to Soundsheavinly for leads it is unfortunate there is not a preamp output from the 8000 as that would IMO be a preferable way of achieving the connection. But like I said why not sell your PentaII's and get some Vox pentas which I am willing to bet could potenitally sound marginally better than your

Tom the motor is actually easy to access. The whole wooden trim moves forward, thus releasing the upper panels. The correct way of acheiving this is as follows... Firstly sometimes it is easier to slightly move or remove the dustcover as I have known it to press hard against the panels making them harder to remove. his is easily ahieved by allowing

I am afraid that sounds like a very poorly servo motor. This should be whisper quiet. You can try stripping it down and re-oiling (with very light machine oil such as singer for sewing machines NOTHING else!) but from what I have seen in the past once it gets to this stage there is very little that can be done, as the sintered bearings are probably

If you wanted to connect the Beomaster 8000 to the Penta then you would take the speaker output of the amp into the speaker level input of the Pentas. However, you have 4 very decent and capable amplifiers there and it would seem pointless to use them in this configeration. Not to mention the fact that the displays on the labs will be redundant! If

How you doing with this? Did you get a bulb off Martin?

Martin has just told me it is in fact 330k 10%. I have to go eat my socks now :)

Love the angle of this shot Mika and your iceberg is pretty cool too :) Currently listening to some Ladysmith Black Mombazo (strictly accapella) on my newly aquired Beolab Pentas Although, they are infact stubby Beovox Pentas right now as the amps are on the table waiting to be looked at so are being driven by my Yamaha amp :(

Ah grey (8) orange(3) yellow(1x10 4 ) would be 830k but silver is a multiplyer only (and tolerance) so that would possibly indicate 0.43R which again is worse than what you have now. 84k seems way too high IMO.
