Der kan være mange årsager men check først tomgangsstrøm i begge udgange. Det står i service manualen hvordan. Martin

Hot heatsinks generally points to too high idle currents or too high power consumption depending on whether warmest at the left, center or right side of the heatsink. I've seen cases where one of the output stage transistors had poor thermic contact to the cooling fin. Using an IR thermometer, I checked the temps of the individual transistors and

Hi Bruno, and welcome to Beoworld ! I can supply a lamp kit for your Beomaster, containing a full set of fresh lamps (plus a spare) of correct type and wattage and comes with mounting instructions, photos etc. The lamps are soldered in so the job involves a little soldering and use of basic electronic tools, mainly a Philips size 2 screwdriver.

I sell the odd part from a scrapped machine now and then plus some repro parts that are otherwise unavailable but nothing I can make a living from. I like to repair and restore old B&O's and I enjoy helping people with the same interest. If

Well, it all looks perfectly normal to me. I don't have a photo of my BM1000 collection as such. I've collected B&O since the mid-70's, mainly their audio stuff, and it just happens the Beomaster 1000 was made in so many different versions and sub-revisions that collecting them all will be next to impossible, especially if taking different
