I suppose it is! He was a friend of our neighbour who was an actor. I too used to go to the City Hall and saw Lindisfarne live a number of times. That makes me feel old! Money Game and STD 0632 were favourites of mine for years! The latter when I was away at school obviously made me think of home!

4600 manual now on thanks to the efforts of Craig! Many thanks!

Think I am getting better at this!! CL again!

Alan Hull - Pipedream. Wonderful album I have not listened to for years. Alan Hull died a couple of years ago.

You probably don't need to replace them all but some may need adjusting and they can disintegrate! A few spare ones would be useful. They should be very cheap!

Get Tim Jaran to service it - he is a fan of the 4000. he lives in Farnborough near Fleet in Hampshire. You can contact him via Beocentral. Don't pull it apart and try to fix it yourself first though in case something gets broken!

Capacitors and variable resistors! Lots and lots of them! The Beomaster 8000 does sound fantastic when it is working well - but the red capacitors are well past their best and cause all sorts of problems. The 7007 is a very very good music centre but the 8000 system is even better!

Where are you based?

I thought about putting SMMC on but MMC looked neater!

Printed transfers. Probably not as long lasting but easy and less likely to damage the cartridge when being put on. Looks better in real life than on picture as flash accentuates any colour difference. I used aluminium colour car paint. One has to mask the cartridge well!
