Velkommen til Beoworld ! Det er altid svært at sætte en generel pris på de ældre ting. Det gælder næsten altid at stand er alt. Et apparat, der ikke virker er ikke mange penge værd med mindre det er sjældent hvorimod et pænt og funktionelt apparat undertiden kan sælges for et pænt beløb

There are small wire "leads" from the tuning board to the board with the switches. Depending on the version, these will be either short flexible leads (good) or one-core stiff leads (bad). The solder joints will often crack at the tuning board with the latter. Same issue at the connections from the tuning board to the FM frontend casing. Martin

If your Beomaster still has the black square rectifier in the corner of the tuning board, I suggest you replace it. They will almost always be faulty and sometimes even falling apart physically. Note the pinout and twist the pins of a modern replacement to fit. Replace the 470uF cap next to it as well, it's almost guaranteed to have a bulge outwards

Yes. You have an answer to your PM. Martin

There's supposed to be an adjustment screw for that. The original screw had a thick rubber-covered head to bump against the flat vertical head of the floorstand but less will also do. If I remember correctly it should sit in the hole at the center of the bracket at the back of the speaker. At the lower flange of the bracket. Martin

Normally, you don't have to dismount the main board from the plastic frame. You can lift a corner a bit at a time and you will normally be able to access most things. The tape sensor circuit could have a bad transistor or the bronze fork has not caught its pin on the board. Martin

Berlingske Tidende kalder B&O's nyeste produkt for en oldsag ? Hvem er det lige, der er en oldsag i denne sammenhæng ? Det er muligt, at Danmark er langt fremme i brugen af de nyeste gadgets, det startede allerede med mobil-telefonen hvor vi stadig ligger pænt i front, men det er man altså ikke i hele verden og jeg kan da sagtens

Jeg synes, det lyder som et fint produkt hvis det kan få folks øjne op for at MP3-lyd, og ikke mindst lyden fra mobiltelefoner som prøver at gengive musik, ikke er noget at prale af. Det har vi andre vist længe, men kun fordi vi har udstyret, som kan afsløre manglerne og fordi vi selv har hørt på bedre kvalitet

Sorry. You're of course right, Rudy. This is a 5-Lamper Radiogram. The cabinet is a bit more detailed than the 3-Lamper, inlayed and marbled veneer etc. that the 3-Lamper doesn't have. Besides, the 3-Lamper radiogram came in (at least) two different cabinet versions and both were much more boxy and square'ish. The 3-Lamper 3LS, that I confused

Sounds reasonable. There are also one or two trimmers (small board mounted potentiometers) on the long switch PCB, almost right below the large tuning potentiometer pulley. (They may be accessible from the underside - I don't remember) One of them could be bad due to oxidation and/or loss of slider tension. Worth checking. Martin
