Your Beomaster will be in the best hands, then. Email sent. Martin

Partly. Beolab 150 is the amplifier section and adding a Beovox Penta will give you an active Penta speaker but it won't be a true Beolab Penta without the display and the large pentagonal shaped foot. Martin

To be honest, for your own safety and also that of the Beomaster, if you don't know how to find the fuses, you better take it to a repairer. If it is indeed merely a blown fuse (that wouldn't be a first), it shouldn't be a very expensive repair. Martin

Then the fuses inside will be the next to check. Bottom plate off. Martin

Is the red standby dot lit ? If not, have you flipped the power switch under the aluminum lid ? Martin

Wanted : Power supply / amplifier board for a Beomaster 7000. I have one on the bench right now where the board has burned beyond repair. I suppose a board from a Beomaster 5500 or 6500 would also do. Repairable or working. Martin

Most motors of that type can be reparied. It's a matter of cleaning and relubricating the bronze bearings etc. Being a one-phase AC motor of the "short-circuit" type (anchor appears massive), it has practically no torque at low speeds, let alone at startup so is greatly depending on low bearing friction.

Well, I'm blown away. What can I say, that I haven't already said in this thread. Thanks and cheers. Martin

Nidul, Wow, thanks for the story and thanks for the praises. I would love to service your things but I am in Denmark and, even if I have serviced several things from the UK, shipping back and forth is nowhere near cheap and I suppose it would make more sense to find a more local repairer. Tim Jarman springs to mind. He is in Farnborough and he is extremely

OK, roasted seems to be an appropriate word. Looks like a shorted output capacitor and with it, a blown output stage. I will be happy to check if I have a rebuilt amplifier module in the dungeons if you like, in my opinion it would make sense to replace the whole module rather than attempting a (costlier) repair. You should check your speakers now
