Fellow brought a euro-spec Beomaster, CD7000, and Beocord (and an AV VCR thing), all circa 1990-1992, by my store the other day. While they looked brand new in black, as soon as I hooked Beomaster to a step-up transformer, it blew the transformer fuse, twice. With such a poor start, would you think it wise to PAY service to start digging in, or is it a fool's errand and he should donate to the transplant center? Thanks. Ray.
