Die allermeisten B&O Geräte, sagen wir mal so bis in die 90er Jahre, haben allesamt dasselbe Netzteil, sowohl für ECE und US. Da werden nur 1 oder 2 Brücken geöffnet oder geschlossen. So eine BL6000 oder BL8000 ist in 15 Minuten neu kodiert, wahlweise 110V, 220V oder 240V. Auch eine Overture oder BS2500 kann man in ein paar Minuten

200$ für 10 Minuten Arbeit is ja auch ganz schön happig... naja, quick'n dirty. Die Spannungswandler kosten drüben ja nur etwa 20-30$, war auch etliche Jahre in den Staaten ;) Dirty deswegen, weil recht gerne Spannungswandler per Phasenanschnittsteuerung angeboten werden. Tut den Trafos garnicht gut.

Man kann fast alle B&O Produkte relativ einfach umstellen. Entweder durch Umstecken in den Netzteilen oder Lötbrücken an den Netzteilplatinen. Jedenfalls geht da serienmäßig eine ganze Menge mit einem Lötkolben. Manche Geräte haben auch mittlerweile Universal Schaltnetzteile. Für ältere B&O Sachen könnte

I have some of these frames still new on stock, at least the power supply, the central U-frame and the small parts for the rgb unit. The frames are still available by B&O. The last ones i bought around mid of last year, left and right frame were around 16-20 Euro, the central frame around 25 and the nicam frame i dont remember... i think 5-10 euro

The Version 2.2 is two way, the BL7000 shows status, funktions like "search"... and so on. RGB must be activated on the Scart port by a status pin 16 with 3-12V, otherwise RGB is used as a "overlay" over the PAL picture. Then you have 2 pictures at the same time on the screen. A dvd player using RGB will show a PAL/FBAS signal on

Bad capacitors: The VX has lots of capacitors inside, really a lot, i think around 200-250. Lots of them are in bad shape after 20 years, heat and chemical problems have destroyed them inside. But this is the real amount of bad caps in a 20 year old VX5000, no joke! http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1130/elkos3rb4.jpg So, if you want a almost new VX

New software for the MX5500: The latest software for the MX3500/5500/LX5500 is 2.2S or 2.2P. S= Standard or P= PIP Module. If you like an upgrade for "DVD", it's possible http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1677/menudvdjj1.jpg http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/1806/versionspezialkg6.jpg to be continued

The picture tube board: This is the picture tube board. http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3239/p1170004yo3.jpg Typical defects: dry joints... and usually a lot of them. If one of the RGB drives is defect, then you see a complete colour missing, the picture is totally green or red. This board becomes hot, very hot and very high voltage, so it collects

The video and audio switch board: This is the U-board... it's the video and audio matrix. Every source can be controlled from every input to every output line. Inside this board are around a hundred electronic switches. http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/2622/p1190011oz7.jpg Typical defects: dry joints. Resolder the AV1 and AV2 sockets, usually

The tuner board: OK, here we are, this is a tuner board of a MX5500. MX3500 and LX5500 use the same board, models with NICAM are almost the same... just the Nicam modul additional. http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/1627/p1130001la9.jpg A very common problem is the black plastic frame, it breaks easily after this long time. But it is easy to remove
