Is it possible to get one of these or are they uber rare these days?

Hi: I too have heard of that. However, I think this was only when the low energy bulbs were first made. However, according to different threads, the issue is still prevelant but this does not explain why it does it when the lights are off. Unless there is residual energy which is discharging and causing it to happen. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums

Hi: I have just realised that the recorder I was refering to is/was a Beocord 6000 and not 8000. Are the parts still available or the same? Thanks and sorry for the confusion. Graham

Hi: I was glad to help and I am sorry it was such an obstacle course getting this all sorted out. I think the issue with whether this brand is better than another is all due to respective opinion. Without being overly philosophical how do you know that something is good unless you have an evil to compare it to. If you believe in God, you must believe

Thanks: Their website is a nightmare to navigate. Do I have to go to a B&O store? Also will they sell me the part as I am a "civillian"? Surely it would be in their best interest to force me to pay them to fix it? Thanks Graham

You could even get some

Hi: Oh sorry, do you mean the power supply? As you can tell my electronics knowledge is quite limited and as a result I really do not want to mess around with that. Can I just take the whole power supply board out and put a new one in? Thanks Graham

Hi: Thanks for your help, I am pretty bad at soldering, thus I would prefer to change the associated board in its entirety - is this possible? As I do not have the circuit diagram at the moment (will upgrade membership soon) I cannot tell if that is a stupid question. Thanks Graham

Hi: I am attempting to isolate a problem on one of these machines. Basicly I think there is an issue with the power supply as there is not enough power getting to the machine for the display to light-up or for the tape mechanism to work. When I have it open I notice a repetitive squeaking noise coming from the power supply (I think). Sometimes however
