If what Dillen says doesn't work, check the fuse, it's easily located, the 3000 is an easy turntable to open up (instructions on the bottom!) In mine it was blown, replace by the same type (500 mA Slow-blow if I recall correctly)

This is how i've done it, think it is correct because the music on the tape was recognisable... just all messed up. Hope the picture is clear enough! I oiled all rotating things I could reach, didn't help a bit. I found something about black capacitors going bad causing this kind of trouble, Dillen should know which one... maybe he can point

Hi all! After replacing the belts (thanks martin) in a beocord 2000 that has stood still for a long time Things got really weird: it won't play a casette in a normal way. Forward it plays, sound is all messed up, going too fast-too-slow-too-fast-too-slow etcetera. Like a sinusoid. rewind and forward works, but probably not how it should. It can

Hi Menahem! Thanks for the tip, I hadn't thought about that yet... I'll put it to good use when I start working on the BG3000 again! The turntable is now mechanically working perfectly, but unfortunately the cartridge (MMC4) appears to be shot, the sound is all distorted and its tip doesn't look too good. Soundsmith cartridges are way out

Well, problem solved: There's a new solenoid on its way to me from Denmark! Thanks for the help, it's really nice to be on this forum! CJ

Nice for when it's Christmas: Silver B&O on the attic ---> christmas tree + gold B&O into the living room. Don't know if I like it yet... it's not ugly anyways. But hey, it's B&O! Have they ever made something really ugly? :)

Hi all, Here's pictures of the solenoid in the 3000 PCB. I already contacted Dillen, he says maybe he has something... I'll let you know if he doesn't have a replacement. CJ

Nice to hear you recall my very first post here! I'm not familiar with the beomaster 1000, But before swapping and desoldering anything, I'd take the readings on the pins with the multimeter. Sounds like the encapsulated transistors you are talking about are the power amp transistors, in my beomaster they are also located on the bottom of the

I'll try and get a camera somewhere and take a picture... might take a while since I haven't got one myself. One stupid stuck component that has my beautiful beogram crippled... it's pretty frustrating! Thanks guys!

Hi! I had a similar problem on my beomaster 1200, problem was a bad transistor. I compared the voltages on the pins of the transistors in the good channel with the voltages on the transistors on the bad channel. Mine had a transistor in the preamplifier that had 0 volts somewhere, was obviously no good! Swapped the transistor from right to left channel
