The two screws may not be obvious but are vertical and with heads down. If they are not there I take it that the sides on your Beocenter is black plastic with white surface rather than covered aluminum. The plastic panel sides are pressed on. You need to lever them off gently using a flat tool of some kind, spatula, screwdriver or similar inserted from

When it comes to opening the unit there are two types of Beocenter 1800. One has two screws at the back side, the other has screws along the left and right sides behind the (wooden or white) side panels. Then slide the whole turntable section a bit towards the rear and lift it off. Beware of the cables for power to the turntable motor and signal cable

It is normal for the grease to be extremely gooey and not uncommon to see it creep around corners. Especially the Beomaster 2000 and 3000 series are prone to this where the grease will even creep up onto the aluminum lid at its rear edge, collecting dust and dirt as it goes. There should be no grease at the exposed parts of the hinges (or damper plates

Superb ! Maybe if you stopped singing ? Martin

Velkommen til Beoworld ! Det er 6 ohms enheder og praktisk talt umulige at erstatte. Men er de dårlige i kanten kan de repareres. Jeg har repareret mange, dine er også velkomne her. Martin

The 1900/2400 requires the user to lift the alu lid, it will then lock lightly and stand by itself. The user will then have to push it gently to unlock it and it will close slowly due to the grease (kilopoise type) friction, this is normal and age doesn't seem to affect operation much. Not all lids will close fully if wall mounted, most will stop

As Peter suggests, there were countless production changes and far from all are documented. The service manuals certainly differs from what's actually put in to most machines. I still have to see a machine that completely fits a service manual. The boards are generally NOT interchangeable, the processors are definitely not, codes, what's displayed

Cleaning and lubrication of all the mechanics. There's no other way. Everything needs to run smoothly and well-oiled. Martin

Yes, caps ! Good job Martin

Most likely a case of aging capacitors. Grab a capacitor kit and send in for service with the Beomaster. Maritn
