Kevin, you are most welcome to email me. Martin

In most cases, the frequency readout will show 74.8 and not move anywhere despite the actual tuning working fine. This is a sign that the prescaler IC has gone bad (long out of production but I have a few in stock) but from what you write, it sounds like you have no readout at all, is that correct ? Will it show the time ? Martin

The mains transformer is of an older type that consumes quite a bit of power itself so it will get hot. Furthermore it's shielded in a metal housing that will, at least to some extent, place an electromagnetic load on it so it will get a bit warm even if running alone. In your case I wouldn't worry. Martin

Steve, The Beomaster 1001 (and 1200) uses the bottom chassis plate as a heatsink. If it gets warm within 5-10 minutes you need to get the amplifiers idle current checked, in this case the heat buildup will be more or less concentrated around a pair of the transistors mounted underneath, at least to begin with. Normally, after one hour of playing with

Uh oh, Peter has a twin !! Martin

Would like to see some pics of your Sanyo machine. Martin

One of my favourite Beomasters, beautiful and as Peter suggests, unfairly overlooked. Two different amplifier builds were used through production, both sounding wonderful despite their simplicity, still amazes me. Hardly any standard faults on these machines. Yes, the front panel knobs come off, that's very common, but can be glued right back on

Could be as simple as a dirty track of one of the potentiometers. I suppose you already tried plaaying around with the volume/balance/treble/bass sliders ? The amplifiers in the Beomaster 1400M are quite robust and hardly ever fails. Did you check if the problem is the speakers ? Try swapping the left and right speakers and see if the problem is still

The Beomaster 1000 stereo indicator lamp is shielded in a pertinax tube that will (or at least should) just slide off. Underneath you'll find a normal E10 bulb envelope but the rating of 18/19V is a bit odd. I have correct lamps in stock. Martin
