Brilliant, thanks a lot for the advice! Now all I need to do is lift a few floorboards, drill a few holes in my floor and walls and get a couple of pairs of Beovox's. What a supercool project! Thanks again, Mika :)

I think ripping such things off like that should be punished somehow ... at least a whack across the head... Do you have any idea about the 12V power cord for the MCL2E, Mika? Can it be just any cord or should it be of a certain amperage? Thanks a lot! :) Much appreciated!

Last question, I promise ;) Now that all the boxes and transceivers are working (yey!), I will need to use an MCL Expander box. I have such an MCL2E, but it came without the mains adaptor. Would any 12V adaptor do or should I look out for a particular Amperage? Many thanks in advance, Dragos

Brilliant! Took the box to a friend who's nifty with soldering, measured the fuse and found it was broken, replaced it with a 100mA one (couldn't find an 80mA one anywhere - hope that's ok) and now everything is working well. Incidentally, I compared this model (2045) with a later one (2046) and on that one there isn't a fuse anymore

[quote user="tournedos"] I'm sorry Dragos that you didn't get any help earlier, but it is a bit difficult when all we know is that something doesn't work The part in the middle of the PCB is a fuse. It may have been a bit hot, but it could be just the case that those solder spots have been secured by hand soldering during manufacturing

Yep, me again... I looked and found (I hope the right) replacements for 2 of the bits which seem to have burnt. Unfortunately, I can't see a T 80mA 250V FUSE anywhere... Any ideas? Of course, if you think what I'm doing is wrong, I would appreciate a heads-up. As you can see, this is a labour of love and getting this to work would be superb

Well, guys, this is turning into a monologue - thanks! The good news is that my transceivers are working now! I had bought a third one off e-bay but it didn't have a back cover, so I thought about giving it one from the 'faulty' ones. When taking it out I pulled too hard and I realised that the transceivers are mad of two parts. So I thought

I gather it's not worth bothering trying to repair the kit... fair enough. Would a magic eye be a good substitute for the MCL2A transceivers or must I stick with the original setup? Thanks, Dragos

Hi, everyone Only found out about B&O 2 years ago and have been hooked ever since! Wired up the downstairs with MCL and even refurbished a pair of RL45s. Really loving the stuff! Now to my problem: I bought a job lot a while back on e-bay consisting of 3 MCL2A relay boxes, 2 transceivers and an expander box. I've finally got round to testing
