But OUR rumours are crappier!

OK, most probably something wrong with the lower channel or the cord then. It would probably be obvious when looking inside, but let's wait what the seller says before that. In case you have never opened one of these centres before: it's actually very easy and I'm sure you'll get all the help you need on the forum (except for the beer

Were the transport screws of the CD fixed when you got it (and have you removed them)? If they weren't, I think the CD module can get dislodged and block the lid from moving. The lid may also have a slipping belt, bad lubrication, or the drive cord of the lower edge (which doesn't seem to agree to move) has snapped / dropped off. There's

[quote user="joeyboygolf"] Is there some information on site regarding where to order, cap kit availability and prices.

Yeah, I just re-read that myself... No, I haven't even opened the Beomaster since that, and frankly I didn't remember this whole cap thing anymore when I have had at least a 5500 and a 7000 with their guts open on the desk since then (the one I talked about originally was my current 6500). Seems like I claimed that there was an audible difference

We had an ugly fight over that mod before last summer I think... perhaps someone will dare to poke that beehive and search for the topic FWIW, I did that mod on my BM6500 and I'm not sure if it did anything good (perhaps my Penta recap around the same time masked any effect) but it didn't do anything bad either. However, if I had any kind of
