OK, I started to fix these things. The dial lamps are blown in both, and for the life of me I can't find the spec in the service manual (the indicator lamps are there, 12V / 30mA). Since the dial lamp is part of the regulator circuit for the others, I don't want to start guessing... Calculating from the test voltages, at least 50 mA flows through

Dillen: I parted with this white one recently, photos show it tilted: Certainly looks timeless in white - and apparently pricey, too... Wish the one with missing keys was white. A friend of mine would be easily able to machine the keys out of block aluminum, but the black finish will be impossible to imitate correctly... This is actually a funny example

Jandyt: Looks gorgeous mate! Well done. (Do you live near Santa? ) Probably not near enough...but you only have 10 months left being nice until next Christmas (and happy b'day from me too!) -mika

And another one on German ebay: Beomaster 2000 (with the "off" key missing or stuck down?) I assure you I'm not the seller of either one even though I brought this up!

It certainly is plastic in these. Of course, it would be possible to fabricate a wall bracket which attaches to the actual chassis or the wooden frame. I'll get to think about this if the GF approves this to the summer cottage -mika

Peter : I agree, lovely receiver. I suppose it is not the most space efficient design out there! Good point there, Peter. This would be a good subject for wall installation - if it didn't weigh over 8 kg and the bottom plate wasn't light plastic! I actually got two of these, same colour. I'll combine the better parts into this one I'll

Maybe the arm is incorrectly balanced. Did you check the stylus weight setting before trying? This might happen with a really low weight setting and the antiskating system forcing the stylus outwards. Another problem might be that the arm isn't lowering enough. As with all old B&O devices with moving parts, the lubricants may have dried and

Look what the nice ladies at the post office gave me yesterday: Dunno about you people, but after watching that for some time, I'm beginning to think that it has to be one of the best looking pieces of B&O I've seen in person. Sounds pretty sweet, too! Then how come I don't see it discussed anywhere? Is it somehow rare, or held in low

krisb: I can turn these off easy but I can't turn the loudness setting off. Where is that? I believe these are the things you can't permanently fix without a MCP or a later model Beolink 1000 Anyway, this setting will probably be cleared (along with all FM presets, etc) if you remove the battery from inside the Beomaster for 10 minutes or so

Then why not get a VoIP ATA adapter and use your Beocom as if it was still connected to PSTN? Simple as that, and not horribly expensive either. It's not that simple if you want to use both VoIP and PSTN, but at least here in Finland, people are getting rid of PSTN lines at an increasing pace, and even the providers are starting to wrap up their
