I agree it's probably best to use original caliber coils. For my Beovox Pentas, I used Intertechnik Audyn MKT foil caps. Anything more exotic than that will be diminishing returns for me at least, even regular bipolar electrolytics will be a great improvement over the old tired ones. The basic 160V MKT caps are already physcally so large that it

[quote user="egoh"]Now, check out the fried crossovers (both are fried, one more than the other):[/quote] These Pentas seem to have seen some parties in their time! The crossovers should be easy to sort out though unless the coils have actually melted and have short circuits. With some luck, the pentagonal metal cap might still be available

Hello François, it's this one: http://www.beoworld.org/manuals_view.asp?pid=1273 Windows only.

It's a small stand of some kind... but probably not for any of the microphones we have on site

Argh! I'm sure I've never seen it! I support this thread, though

I believe that was because earlier it wasn't that clear that adding 3D support doesn't actually need to cost that much extra. Basically, all that is needed is a fast enough panel, updated HDMI, some extra video processing / software, and control for the glasses. If the processing hardware of the old BS3 already had enough throughput for the

The problem with second hand Old Skool oscilloscopes is that they may fail and be uneconomical to repair. You might not be able to trust the calibration, and the CRTs in well-used units can be quite dim (usually not a problem in audio work, though). I would suggest a PC scope, they are rather inexpensive nowadays and you usually get all the goodies

If that "fix" requires only the slightest touch, it might be a grounding problem... but if you need to apply any pressure for the sound to change, I would start looking for a conventional intermittent solder joint or bad connection. In the latter case, try poking around the circuit boards while it's playing to see if you can isolate the

Thanks psand, I bookmarked that. I've been using this old thread which doesn't go that far back.
