Of course its hard to tell if something is original if you haven't got anything to compare with but if you can show us a photo, I can tell you if it's original. Another thing is the overload safety switch, that can be reset by a little knob on the front between the two front cloth panels. Push and excersize it a little from side to side a couple

Can you tell if the woofers were also re-shim'ed ? Check the dustcap, if it's the original one and it looks untouched, they weren't reshim'ed. Many refoam'ers skip this important step and it does matter over time. You can also check if the woofers cones will travel equally easy "by hand", note any blockage or roughness

No. The mains transformer need to match the mains voltage. Replace the transformer if not correct. Fuses are different too. Martin

That's a wanted ad and the price is the highest you can put on a wanted ad without paying for the ad. John (the ad holder) is more than happy to pay considerably more for these sets. As mentioned in the "Repairs to a classic" thread just yesterday, the Beolit 39 is not a very rare set but quite sought after, which sets the price high.

MAKEDONIA, Welcome to Beoworld ! And thanks for looking in here. Beolit 40 is almost the same radio as the Beolit 39. F.e. the tone control circuit is a little different and of course also the dial lettering, reading Beolit 40 rather than Beolit 39. Actually, a little known fact is that some Beolit 39's actually have "Beolite 39" in the

A test record can be expensive to find but the correct way to go. In the mean time, open the DIN plug and check the solder joints inside. Especially the ground connections. Martin

With the new caps installed, if the problem is limited to the phono input, I think we can rule out the power supply. Did you try using a different needle/cartridge or turntable ? You could also check inside the DIN plug on the turntable signal cable. Especially the ground connections. Martin

Sad case. I suppose you could try putting the Beomaster in TEST mode and then press 7. That will load default values into the RAM (if it works in your Beomaster). What did you replace and why ? Martin

Well, yes and no. As you already noticed, there are many different versions and not all Beograms act exactly the same way when a fault occurs so it's hard to diagnose exactly without actually having it on the bench. Generally, a tangential Beogram won't lower the tonearm onto the platter, because the pulses from the radial streaks of the rotating
