Hi everyone! I am currently waiting for a set of borrowed tuner boards (thanks XXX!!)... But if they didn't solve my problem, would anyone here have a spare processor board? (I'd even be ready to buy one if I could, see my desperation). Thank you! I'll report about it of course, when the tuner boards arrive!

[quote user="Rich"] So what's the story? Anyone else had issues with the holes of records? [/quote] Yes, me! Basically, all the new pressings' holes are too small for my three Beograms. Just fine on the odd Technics though. I guess that's because B&O wanted to center the records precisely, even with EPs by the way. Anyway,

Superb! One really careful owner indeed! And good luck about the repair (which I lack at the moment). Do keep us informed, and let us have a peek inside please!

[quote user="Dillen"] I think replacing the processor(s) will be next. Martin [/quote] Got that Martin. I think I won't ever be able to find a good spare PC9... Mine had already been opened (and badly re-soldered)

Disconnecting AFT doesn't change anything. Disconnecting the prescaler makes voltage go down to 4.7 V (PIN 7 IC1) which is the normal 108 MHz value, then it jumps to 13 V! At 87.5 the voltage is always correct at 7.5 V.

The pulses are normal at each turn up to 96.3 ( about 0.5 V ptp, TR7 collector), then it remains stuck at 0.5 V. The other way round, same thing, but I get the wheel signal back at about 90 MHz. If I revert to my programmed station at 94.4 there is a pulse (square wave) continuous signal and it remains like that. But if I select the inferior 89.6 programme

Thank you both. TR1 and IC1 have been replaced. I find it funny that the voltage at the output of IC1 jumps to 13.7 V when the fault occurs. TR7 and D4 are new, as well as TR5 and D3. I'm going to get the scope and see what happens there. Back in 10 minutes!

Hi everyone! I've downloaded the "Technical Product Information" for the Beomaster 8000. This is a very comprehensive 41-page book which goes deeper into how the Beomaster works (PM me if interested). It allowed me to understand how the tuner works, but the processor part is not that clearly explained. I checked the tuner different parts

Hi, My CD 3300 does that too! Not my CDX. Go figure.

Hello, Welcome to Beoworld! It should be fairly straightforward, but you will have to open the beast! Can you go through the different tracks and is the display okay? It could be a reed relay (the ones in a glass capsule). Do you hear a small click when you power it on? Or when the ? symbol appears when there's no CD? Also look for connector problems
