Welcome to Beoworld ! Both the Beovox 1001 and 3800 are rare speakers. The 3800s were UK only. Søren is right about the foam rot, that you will generally see gone by now in many B&O speakers but none of these particular models uses foam surrounds. The 1001s have the old cardboard accordion type surrounds and the 3800 has some kind of very

If in doubt, try swapping drivers between the good and the bad speaker. One at a time and see when things change. Martin

Nice project ! These Beocords are built like a tank. Sadly, I don't have the belts but the demand seems to be higher than ever so I will be happy to look into having some produced. Martin

[quote user="Rich"] Any other secrets you're keeping from us? Like M70 trumpet stands? [/quote] I have no secrets, just a lot of things. Too much if you ask people around me. But not a lot of trumpets, I'm afraid. Martin

[quote user="rfc1"] Got the fuse out, guessing its the right one its got colored lines on it. can i just check it with a continuity tester? Is it ok to try the beogram with silver paper round the fuse to check operation? Sandy [/quote] Yes, you can check the fuse out of circuit with a continuity tester. It should have full continuity.

It had holes (actually cast brackets) at the back for hanging on the wall but no threaded holes for the floorstand. The newer Beovox S45.2 (6312) had the holes at the back. The two types are easy to tell apart, even from a distance, in that the S45.2 has an alu frame

Welcome to Beoworld ! Note that there are three different Beovox S45 types (6302, 6312 and 6427). Which type do you have ? Martin

Oh my, I just checked this thread today as I wasn't online last night and I was quite surprised to find that I won something ! My first win in the Beoworld prizedraw. YES !!! And a Beotime, YES !!! It's true that I own quite a few Beos already but I don't have a Beotime alarm clock and it was in fact one of very few of the newer B&O

You must use the pre-amp output. (Never a speaker level into a line-in !) And make sure it's variable or it will end up a terrific experience. To test if it's variable, try connecting f.e. the record leads of a tapedeck or the line-in from your PC audiocard and see if you can adjust the signal level on the theater thingy. Martin

Ray, welcome to Beoworld ! ... a proprietary type of connector... Nothing like that ! If they are passive speakers (with no built-in amplifier) they hook up using DIN, the only worldwide connector for HiFi home-stereo speakers ever to be standardized, everything else is proprietary or otherwise non-standard. DIN plugs can be found on Ebay and many other
