Well, I guess anybody could find it if they wanted to, so no point in hiding it: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170255855881 I agree on the longevity. I've always liked old tube radios. The problem with this is that it has no FM and we don't have any AM stations left over here in Finland anymore. When I was a

ipaul: Hi Mika, congrats with the Master 38, it looks nice and original (i assume you've read the previous postings here..). So that makes us 3 lucky owners of this one (btw mine also works...): you, Martin and your's truly. Only one remark of you i found interesting (usually on this site you read the opposite !!): you stated your girlfriend

Thank you The dial was actually the thing that got my attention instantly! I would've paid the price for just the looks of this radio even if it didn't work at all. Yes, the back cover came off, the power cord plug is keeping it in place. I removed the newspaper pieces that were stuffed in, and as everything looked pretty neat and clean, had

You guys spoiled some of the fun of waiting by reviving this topic a couple of weeks ago, but anyway - look here! The girlfriend made me buy this! It is even supposed to be working, but I'm not going to power it up until I've made some security checks, and I need to remove the transport supports the seller has put inside the radio. Stupid question

The Beomaster now has two brand new good quality cermet trimmers controlling the idle current. It doesn't get a bit warm at the volumes I can use at this time of the day without disturbing the neighbours... I go on with mechanical cleaning now, and in the morning l I'll hook up the Pentas for a real test drive

mobeyone: Apologies, its a 6 way mains extension, I use this to wire the 8000s, 9000, lab2 and dvd1. Also has an inbult surge protection and claims to reduce RFI? Ah, OK. It does look quite a bit better than those white plastic bars I have everywhere...

wtlc2zpx: Did you all pick the last in the list? Yes. I now tried on the Vista machine at work, and there the archive works. I'm pretty sure the zip archive has been created with some option that makes it incompatible with older zip software, or it has an error that some unzippers are able to ignore. It won't unzip on Linux either.

mobeyone: @ Tom, the silver box is made by JO-EL and are hard to come by. I actually have two of these one of which has a few blown capacitors.... not sure why... but I have only seen them a few times on ebay and have scoured the net looking for them but can not find them! But what does it do then? Over here, JO-EL is a brand name which is used from

Well, I did these adjustments (but of course I don't have the test CD, so I used a clean regular one) after all the cap upgrades recommended in the workshop . It does read CD-R's now also, although it refuses a very scratchy one I've kept as a rudimentary player quality test disc. This must be the first time I've had the patience for

Peter : Could someone with a Windows computer check that the new PCG software is working - someone has reported it is corrupted but I cannot check as I am on a Mac!! Edit: I see you meant the Product Configuration Guide Unfortunately no, I can't open it with WinZip 8.1. Perhaps the archive uses a feature that is not supported by all zip software
