Well done! I hate saying I told you so (because I didn't - not this time anyway ;-), but you've just proven to those doubters who think the joints "look clean", that it just ain't so! Removing the whole assembly and cleaning properly is so essential to achieving flawless operation. It's not even reasonable to assume that any

[quote user="mjmedlo"] My living room. . . [/quote] I couldn't help thinking that those 2 speakers look like a pair of Daleks. Not sure if Dr Who ever made it to the USA, but the Englishmen will know! Maybe the Daleks were B&O's inspiration....... Menahem

The main PCB is held by 4 screws. Don't unsolder all the connecting cables, just flip it over partially to get access to the component side while you're soldering. The other PCB's are also held to the chassis by screws.

A short answer - all of them. If you want to do a proper job, get a capacitor kit from Martin Olsen (Dillen). Replacing the lamps is simple in terms of parts - 2 x 5mm White LED's - about 20,000 - 50,000mcd, and 2 x 1kOhm 1-Watt resistors. But a bit more complicated in terms of the work involved - if you're not accomplished in soldering techniques

There is a photoresistor sensor, which senses absence or presence of light transmitted by a lamp (or on later versions, an LED), through a slide ruler with vertical black bars. My best guess is that either the lamp has blown, or there is a problem in that circuit. If the lamp has blown, this is an excellent opportunity to make the necessary circuit

Yes, the original Rosewood Palisander is now restricted, but I have used a beautiful African Rosewood substitute, also called Bubinga, from the African equatorial rainforests. I have reveneered a BeoMaster 1600 with this, as well as a new subwoofer, and it is stunning! Bear in mind that the B&O color is not the original - it is stained with a dark

You're my kind of BeoFan! Excellent! Menahem

If the needle is not centred, it is very clearly a suspension failure. If you did not pay a lot for it, you may not want to return it, but keep it, and send it to Axel in Germany for rebuilding to better than new condition. In many cases it is the smart thing to do - buy a used cartridge for a little money, and send it for rebuilding. Menahem

Hi Kumse, "Well.. no offence, but the guys in here are really crazy about changing caps" No offense taken, but you must understand that this bunch of guys is unusual. If I may speak for all the techs here, our unusualness is that we do not subscribe to the modern lazy way of fixing things, which is to throw away the entire subassembly, PCB

Soder Wick contains flux, the others don't. So, if you just add some flux to your regular wick, it's just as good! Menahem
