Bart, Sorry if I have left you with a wrong impression. I am not running a business, I don't have a shop and I am not making any money on the kits. That's what I have my 8-16 job for and that's not electronic related. The overhead of a kit is typically about one pound, made so simply because I can't justify to lose money - and that's

Well, the only references I have are the service manuals plus correction sheets and updates, 35 years of experience in collecting and servicing B&O audio stuff and the tech info sheets released from B&O to their authorized repairshops. Not much, I must admit. You are happy, that's the most important thing. Martin

Velkommen til Beoworld ! Hvis du har noget tilsluttet Scart-stikket, så prøv at fjerne det. Martin

Unfortunately, 12V 30mA is stated in error in some early service manuals but does not correspond to what's factory mounted in the Beomasters. They will not give correct function to the tuning discriminator lights, typically leaving the two just lit up showing nothing at all and, since they don't provide the correct load on the 15V supply, they

Danish design at max ! Wonderful ! Martin

Yes, the cure must be to mount a higher rating of fuse... NOT ! That would risk something else to blow instead or possibly set the whole thing ablaze. It's not a common thing to see the fusing resistor blow but it's a common thing to see the fusing resistor blow when something is not right. That's what it was designed for. The motor rarely

No, they are two very different motors. The tray motor does not have any speed regulation and was made for rotating both ways. Martin

Hard to point a finger directly at something specific but definitely an overload of some kind. I suppose you will have to measure around a bit. Martin

The 10 Ohm resistor usually blows because the old belts in the tapedeck seizes up the motor or something else blocks it. Could also be a fault in the motor itself but the belts are by far the most common reason. Another reason can be the flexible ribbon cables that run from the power supply to the tapedeck drawer. If one of the black insulation tubes

Could be the motor current protect circuit, I've seen that a couple of times. That circuit is a bit too sensitive. Try introducing a 10 Ohm resistor in parallel over R22 (2,2 Ohm). Martin
