You know I got nothing personal against claims cases like this, however it does go a long way to explain why we all pay so much for our insurance!!! Also it would suggest why people pay over the odds prices for faulty AV equipment on ebay! For those reasons alone I wish insurance companies were a bit more reserved in their payouts!!!

[quote user="chartz"] Yes Menahem, but we were discussing about the detector arm and shutter lamps. I saw somewhere (not in one of your posts) that it was possible to fit LED's in those places, but I couldn't achieve normal behaviour. So if you have a reliable solution it will be useful to everybody here. I already have the SM for

I have to confess to trying this mod Jacques (I was curious :) ) and in defense of Menahem, I have to say the results are favorable so far! There are certain B&O circuits that do not allow this mod (not without modification at least!) such as the record arm sensor and other examples where the rest of the circuit somehow relies on the bulb, so led's

Yes the speaker wrecking party buttons are good candidates :) I will swap for now but I will not be happy! BTW I will get round to ordering the belt that I enquired about Martin but I am having to justify every penny spent atm so a cassette belt is doing the job for now, little too stretchy and doesn't settle down instantly but it's ok as a

So when the arm comes to park, there is an audible click, the arm stops (with no sound of the servo motor straining), the deck stops spinning and the speed select lamps go out however the lamp at the base of the tone arm is still lit? Fully lit or does it dim in brightness?

[quote user="Eugene"] Spent Sunday afternoon ewplacing a faulty motor on my Beocrod 3300. Works much better now [/quote] Is ewplacing similar to the action of re placing but with a lot of goo and mess?

Thanks Mika, not as big a headache as I thought - TR102 (part of the diff-amp early section) was the little blighter! No more hiss now :) I love your idea of isolating various parts of the amp but tbh I find B&O amps very temperamental and very easily unbalanced - usually resulting in smoke to all but the more experienced techs! I would appreciate

It's one or two buttons that have almost completly lost there bounce Martin, mostly the standby and volume buttons. I have tried cleaning but while they work you still do not get the tactile feedback that you do with the lesser buttons... I could swap the programming buttons over I guess there are about the same number but I wanted a 'new'

Has anyone found a solution for the worn pop buttons found in the 80's 6000? It is a handfull that are worn to the point that the panel had been pushed in slightly next to the standby button. Can't find a supplier of anything suitable but they must be available! Looked at 0.5mm SMT versions although haven't worked out if these would be a

Beomaster 6000 225x Where to start with this beast! Replaced PSU cap on 15v line (dead short) and rectifier on the 6.5v line tests ok out of circuit but under load takes out the fuse! Left with Intermittent display top digits and dp leaving this till last I think.. I am hoping just a dry or crack and not the displays... Most troublsome problem is a
