Yes one of the support tabs is broken into two pieces.

I am sure this has been discussed in this forum before,but I am ready to glue the broken lid on my BM3400.I have the small pieces and they look like they will fit together well.Anyone have success with superglue?or do I need to use something else?

Martin Not a great pic,but shows how the tuner window is quite a bit less yellowed than the others.

I have seen pics of some other machines that are still quite clear.For some reason the tuner slider is still in pretty good shape,only slightly "amber" in color.The others are cloudy and yellowed.I have tried to clean them inside and out with glass cleaner with minimal improvement.I think tournedos might be right,this thing was exposed to

That's what I was afraid of.This unit was exposed to some heavy sunlight for a period of time.The wood top had some bad sun bleached spots that I was able to correct with some furniture oil.What's interesting is that the slider for the tuner,while slightly yellowed,has held up pretty well.Oh well.Thanks for the input.It might just be something

The clear slide rules have turned yellow on an otherwise perfect BM3000-2.Does anyone know of a fix or if replacements are available? Thank you

I have replaced the 3 5000uf/70v electrolytics with 5600uf/80v.I think all the coupling caps are tantalum.I plan to replace them all with Wima polyester caps.

Thanks for the help guys!The glue worked perfectly.

Good idea,hot glue would be good so I could get the front panel off easier.

I just got done cleaning my slider controls on my BM 3000-2.I first used a liberal amount of contact cleaner followed by a lubricating de-oxidizer type.They are are now noise free and operating well except not very smooth sliding.Is there some sort of grease that should be in there,possibly they should be dissassembled to get them working a bit smoother
