Hi Mika: Mine had little use as well after I thought I had exorcised the demon. Then when I went to demostrate my 4002 to people that had never seen one before, and were awed by the beauty of the design, it turned out to be a VERY embarassing situation for me! So I had to make it go away for good! Derek

Hi Mika: I thought I'd share my experience as this problem has consumed many hours of my time. Yes spurious noise in the photoresistor RPY 58 is the problem. In a previous post I suggested flipping the sensor around. This may work. I also sourced and purchased new old stock RPY 58 and tried a few without success. There may be high variability in

Hi Keith: As a quick follow up to this problem. 1) It turns out that the battery was bad. This was not at all obvious since it retained a charge and powered up and otherwise functioned properly with a lit display etc... 2) This upgrade kit that you suggested, I am told by B&O in Canada is only for European models. They offered me a battery instead

Hi Jacques: I haven't been following your thread so forgive me if this has been covered territory. 1) Have you replaced ALL electrolytic caps? 2) The trimpots are also suspect. They may look like they are in good condition but infact are not. Many are badly oxidized. Derek

Keith: Many thanks! Any idea how much for the kit? Derek

Keith: Firstly, many thanks for your reply. To answer your questions: 1) Only one beocm 6000 2) I forget if it is MK1 or 2.... It has a "DOT" 3) Out of Range even when 6 inches from base. Can the RF chip be easily replaced??? Expensive? Worth fixing? We really love the phone. Derek

>Personally, I don't like the BG8000 because it is a transition TT from 4002/4 to 8002. BG8000 has 8002 body but still has the 4002 arm. This isn't true. Superficially the arm looks the same, but in fact it is a complete redesign! The sled, the solenoid, the bearing, the sensor is completely different. In fact the 8002 arm has much more in

CDX is built really well. You don't see many CD players with a heavy cast internal chassis! (not just the CDM 1!) Most unfortunately this deck runs very warm and so the caps are all nicely cooked by now especially in the Power Supply section. Best to change them all. Derek

Hi: I have a Beocom 6000. It was working fine until just recently when it began displaying "out of range." I tried resetting and reconnecting to the base but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, Derek

Hi Menahem: The diameter is important in that the piston needs to move freely but with limited play; we'd have to find one that matches closely. But it isn't critical that we get it "exact." The former should be some non magentic material. The most ideal would be same thickness but otherwise thinner would be more preferable than thicker
