When i plugged it in yesterday it worked fine, except from the volumen control not responding. So i fetched the sercive manual and opened the beast up. The rubber band from the servo motor to the potentiometer was wery dusty so i cleaned it and it works just fine now, I use it as an headphone amp at the moment, together with a beogram cd 3500.
It got some problems with the display (which i recon is common), there is no light in the volumen scale, it can only display 75,4 mhz although the radio and clock works fine, but that is not a big problem... But wow it is a large piece of kit! Cant really imagine the BM8000 being even larger!
best regards
