Yes, I think it will be another resto-thread. It has been some time since my previous one and this set seems to be a good candidate. The cabinet is largely undamaged, it has the tiny ding and the odd scuff here and there, nothing drastic here either. The rear and underside covers are in place and looking their best. Martin

Looking at the JET 606, it seems to be nice and intact. The dial lettering shows a little blurring. Unfortunately, this is quite common for some models but in this case it is not very drastic. Martin

A beautiful model and a wonderful chassis to work on. I recently restored a JET 606 Moderne, which is exactly the same chassis, only in a more stylish and modern, more boxy cabinet. Unfortunately, that one didn't make it to the new owner in one piece but that's a completely different story. Martin

Going through my pile of round-to-it machines, I discovered this little beauty. It's a JET 606. Of the many classic late 50's tabletop sets, this is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful models and a set like this should be used and enjoyed, not just sit around in a large carton in a storage facility as it has been doing for the last 15

Since it is a completely different product, I think the question should be more like "Why did they use the same model name?" The earlier Beovox S45 was a popular speaker so maybe that's why they wanted to ride on using the same model name but on the other hand, using the same model name doesn't make the launching of a brand new product

It can be quite confusing, really; The original (1970's) Beovox S45 (Type 6302) had a slight mid-production upgrade and became Beovox S45-2 (Type 6312). The main difference being the type of tweeter (and a slight modification to the crossover accordingly). Actually, to add to the confusion, the new tweeter was already introduced in the latest Beovox

Thanks Peter but no, the BM1900 is very different in this aspect, having a damped closing of the lid based on gravity rather than a damped opening based on a spring. The arm, I need, is found only in Beomaster 2000 & 3000 of the 1980's and I believe also in Beomaster 3300. I would consider a complete lid or even a whole Beomaster. Martin

There's one coil in each cabinet. It's listed as 0,26mH but I wouldn't replace anything apart from the capacitors. I would certainly replace them though. Put in a good quality electrolytic type, bipolar of course. The rest will be fine unless electronically failing. Replacing the coils, in my opinion, would be overkill, a waste of money

Both a resistor and a capacitor can change its value over time so we cannot rule out the need for replacing a component but check that the solenoid moves freely first. If there is some kind of blockage, dust or the likes, the solenoid will not move freely enough to precisely follow the DC slope. If it binds near the beginning of its travel where the

Was this fault present before you began replacing capacitors ? If so, replace the rectifier D8 as the first thing. If not, check your work, capacitor values, capacitor types, polarities, solder joints etc. Martin
