Welcome to Beoworld ! I would start looking at the two trimmers on the motor control board, they tend to come apart physically. Any good repairshop will have new parts and the skills to replace them. Martin

You will probably be replacing the lamp as a discrete component. I don't have the manual at hand but it's probably a 24V 25mA or so. You should be able to see it shine in the housing. If not, put a voltmeter across its wires. If you have about 20 volts or so and no light, the lamp is at fault. Martin

You can't - I have it here ! Martin

Hi, Welcome to Beoworld ! You have an answer to your PM message in your inbox at the top right corner. Martin

The 8000-CD project has been seen before. I've seen two different attempts, one has a Discman sitting under the alu lid of a converted Beocord with the clamp at the underside of the lid, obviously no datalink and absolutely the easy way to do it. The other had a cutout of the front acting as a CD drawer, I believe the electronics and some of the

As Peter suggests, the older SP's were indeed color coded, indicating the size of the rounding of the needle ("groove width") but I never saw a color coded SP10 and I've seen a lot of SP10's. My guess is that someone fitted an older stylus, SP2 most likely, in the SP10 cartridge shell which is possible and very easy. Martin

I don't have any docs on the AV7000 but maybe the transformer is the same as in the Beomaster 7000, have you checked ? Martin

Jeff, I have the correct belt. You have a PM ! Martin

It could easily be the belt slipping. Has the belt been renewed recently and if so, are you sure it's of the correct size ? Try adding a little finger-brake when it plays to see if the belt slips on the motor pulley or the pulley slips on the motor shaft, I've seen this happen only three or four days ago on a 4002.

I don't have the service manual at hand but I will take a look as soon as I do. It is a fault and a strange one at that, definitely one of the cases I wish'ed, I had on the bench here. Martin
