[quote user="DrDimitris"] All these future aspects brings to my mind THIS AWSOME VIDEO . Enjoy. [/quote] The top 2 comments cracked me up

[quote user="Nickyg63"] [quote user="Stonk"] [quote user="Nickyg63"]I may get shot for this, but has anyone ever seen pentas painted??[/quote] No but THIS thread shows Pentas with white frets and because these cover a vast area of the speaker it might give an indication what they could look like. [/quote] I think it might

I would be especially interested in seeing the ladies string up the dial cords in some radios and receivers

Here you go Nigel. Sorry for the bad quality of my CAD program. I'm not going to remove the speaker so I can't get an exact measurement on the depth, but the magnet is pretty much as deep as there is space for, so it definitely can't be more than 50 mm from the front bezel surface (not the mounting surface) to the rear of the magnet. The

I would replace that in any case - the resistor seems to be part of the biasing circuit and the value is way past the original tolerance of ±10%. Those carbon composition resistors often change their resistance permanently when they overheat. But, I would also concentrate on why the test voltage on TR19's base is so far off. It will have

That's a beauty! All I've seen of this series have been more or less marred.

You have released the transport screws from underneath the turntable, haven't you? There's a small chance that somebody has retrofitted a RIAA amp in the Beogram. That is easy to check - just connect it to some other (line level) input on the Beomaster. If the sound is fine then, problem solved. But I suppose the seller would've informed

[quote user="Leslie"]Anyway, .22uF is the same as 220nF? I think this size does not fit in the SMD housing as shown in the picture, is it?[/quote] 220 nF = 1/100 the capacitance of 22 uF... The physical size will have as much to do with the voltage rating as the capacitance. Those original SMD cans in the pictures will be good for either 0

[quote user="Leslie"]How much is this value 226?[/quote] 22 * 10^6 pF = 22 uF Anyway, seems I might just as well roll a dice for my shopping list if I want to be done within one evening

If only the dedication and skill of these people could be directed to something useful. Now excuse me while I return my lunch to the sea.
