Lass den MX um himmelswillen aus. Ganz aus... oder er geht völlig dabei drauf. Der peitschende Knall sind Überspannungsschläge, sehr wahrscheinlich hat er einen Durchschlag am Hochspannungstrafo. Ja, man kann das reparieren. Falls du noch nie einen Fernseher von innen gemacht hast, dann lass es, man kann sich mit sowas excellent selbst

Wenn du's ganz genau wissen willst: linke Glasplatte abnehmen und auch die linke Plastikblende. Da drunter ist der Antrieb für den Seilzug... dann kann man schonmal sehen ob's der Motor als solches ist oder die Seilführung das Schlamassel ist. Wenn du allerdings noch nie mit B&O Blenden hantiert hast, lass es... die Dinger sitzen

Hmmm, did it work before? The BG5000 has no RIAA amplifier, so it is quite normal that you hear almost nothing when connected to a standard input. Which Beomaster do you use? You need a Beomaster with an RIAA input channel or an externel RIAA amplifier, otherwise you hear ... nothing !

The broken loading unit: If you see something like this, then the loading unit is broken. This picture is from a VX5000, but the loading unit is identical to the VX7000, all parts are compatible. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7349/p1060018sm9.jpg The reason is a defect capstan motor or a defect motor control. The motor did not reverse and has broken

Probably this friday i get a BC9300 for rebuild and cap/opamp upgrade. Maybe i make a workshop, at least i will take some pictures and a material list for the upgrade.

OK... some more than 6 caps, around 20 in total. You see these small red tantal caps, like a teardrop? Just replace them by the same capacity, but by a plastic MKS or MKP type. Wima MKS-2 is very good for this, even the size fits almost, but only almost. A 10uF Wima is twice a tantal in size. The white/silver axial caps are styroflex caps... they sound

Just a small idea... ;) In this time (1960-1975) there were tantal caps used in the amplifiers sound path and in the bass/treble regulators. Replace them by MKS/MKP capacitors. Tantal caps have a very long lifespan, but a very bad sound. Tantal causes a sound with way too much bass, but only small treble. My BM1001 had used 6 of these caps, replaced

Hi, the lamps of the older B&O hardware are a little bit special. I really dont know wether these were also used in your BM3000 since i have no manual of the BM3000 or the hardware, but the ones in my old BM1001 have this spec: 14V 40mA. B&O has used them a lot. Test a second one on a regulated power supply, probably you will measure the same

Hmmmm, send the drive to Ulf ? I'm sure he can cure the drive....

PLEASE do not post any answers, i'm still working.... i know this is a copy of the VX5000 workshop. I will copy and paste first and then modify the article..... Hi B&O fans, this is a little guide how to test and repair this VX7000 video deck. The VX7000 is a direct evolution of the older VX5000/5500 recorders, some the most advanced and also
