Frankly the only time I even look which subforum I'm on is when I start a new topic. While reading, I use almost exclusively the "not read" function and just go through interesting topics, no matter where they are or what language they are in as long as I'm able to read it. Given that, even the North American subforum makes no difference

[quote user="Step1"]Does Permenant collection mean somewhere in a basement gathering dust then [/quote] Yes (sans the dust, I should hope). Most museums have a lot more items than they could possibly display at one time, and permanent collection doesn't need to mean permanent display. Wait until some exhibition/event when these would be

Really good to hear that John! However many typical problems we'd go through, there's always a surprise somewhere... good work sorting that out

Hi Per, it is basically a Beomaster 900K with only one builtin speaker. Look for Beomaster 900 under our user & service manuals , and you should find everything you need.

I would expect so otherwise, but the line out connections in BM5500 are before the volume control and fixed level - thus not usable for this purpose.

Sorry it wasn't that easy! The cap replacement actually sounds much worse than it is. There's of course always a small chance that it might be more involved, and seeing that we are in the NA forum, you might have more trouble finding a competent service to fix it for you. Anyway it should be cheaper than a new good condition unit (and they will

Well it needs real electrical repair right now, I don't think any trickery will restore it. From the symptoms, it seems the processor doesn't start up properly. The rest of the Beomaster does absolutely nothing without it. There are probably a number of capacitors that need replacement, both in the power supply and in the CPU module. When the
