The inflation rate was pretty awful in the UK through the 70s, so it might not be too useful to compare prices even a year or two apart. Beocentral has UK prices listed by the year for most products - but even then, UK was an important market for B&O and the prices might not be comparable with the rest of the world.

Hi Nick, thanks for the offer. The processor itself is dead. It's a 8051, which is a mask ROM version of 8031 - so really no hope of a straight repair without an original chip from another BM5000. If the program dump was available somewhere, it might be possible to burn it on an OTP or flash version of 8751 - only that the flash chips are much newer

It still works pretty much like that, when we get to several gigahertz, obstructions start to affect more and more until you ultimately will have worse connections through moist air (that'll take double digit GHz's, though). The 2.4 GHz area has problems, both because being nowadays so crowded with WLANs and all kinds of wireless products, and

A Beolink 1000 will definitely work with no problems whatsoever. Ron - check if your remote is working at all. Take a digital camera or a camera phone (with live view) and point it at the transmitter end of the remote when you press buttons. You should see the LEDs flashing pale blue if the remote is working. If it does, you either have a fault in your

Welcome to the forums! Do you have a DIN to 2 x RCA cable? Sounds like that might be constructed for the wrong direction, i.e out from the DIN instead for input. I always buy adapters with four RCAs (both directions) to avoid confusion like this.

Welcome to the club.

They are in the same boat with every other manufacturer. This issue has been seen so many times with every tv/radio digitalization step, who's gonna market receivers if there are no transmissions, and vice versa... I'm confident they can bring the receiver module out. Just a heads up to the consumer - most likely you will not be able to receive

I wouldn't bother with the Variac. That is mostly useful with long unused tube radios where the electrolytic capacitors have lost their insulation barrier and just banging the power on can destroy a lot of stuff. It should not happen with later low voltage circuits like this, and the deck will not work correctly with a too low mains voltage anyway

[quote user="bayerische"] Mika, I use "C", Cable from Welho. However in the future satellite or air transmissions are a likely source for me... [/quote] When it comes to satellite, you're off to get a separate STB anyway... in cable, I suppose this DVB-HD module should work just fine. I just read the user manual Peter has put
