Out of curiousity, is your BM3000 a 104 or a 108 MHz one? There's a thread about that IIRC. Most of them, especially the later ones seem to be 104 only. I just got a hold of a 108 one that says series 1 on the label.

I found another picture of a failed grey ROE (from a BM1000)

And - it's amazing how the thread almost doubled overnight - at least over MY night

I remember that thread. Mine is a 108 and from sieres 12. Do you know how I decipher the year from my serial number?

Progressing well I suppose!

Hi,

I repaired a similar Beocenter 3500 a while ago (here) and with new components it sounds just great.

I finally replaced the output capacitors, but it made no difference to the sound quality.

I still have to solve the phonostage noise on one channel though.

With the new SP12 it does sound superb!

I'm sure your 3000-2 will too!

Also look here and there!

Hello Chartz, I remember your thread very well - wishing that I could have been working on mine when you repaired yours!

Very good and interesting work.

Looks like the BeoCenters have much more room inside to work!

Well hopefully Mouser gets around to sending me my order!! This is getting to be a bit ridiculous...

At this rate, it will be another year before I can listen to my 3000 again...

Evan, check your order for non stocked items

When I ordered the parts I checked to make sure all were in stock - and they were. Looking over the most recent mail (July 4th) I have estimated ship dates in late July, August and even December!!!

What a mess, copy your list to Martin, to check prices, and if nearly same or better, cancel Mouser and buy with Martin, I am waiting to place an order with Mouser for the first time, and this is bad news.

Lets see if I can try and ship portions of the order seperately...

My 3000-2 is still without all of its caps. So far, I have been able to locate these!

Keep 'em for your Krells!!

Good afternoon everyone! I'm sure all of you have forgotten about this project, I know I have!

I am happy to report that my order of capacitors has shipped - FINALLY!

This has been a thoroughly ridiculous wait but has actually resulted in a very timely schedule, this quarter ends next Wednesday and if all goes well, I will get my caps soon after. This project will be finished during winter break!

I'm amped!! Are you amped??!!?!

TIME TO GET AMPED!!!!!!

I, for one, am amped alright!

Can't wait for your pictures!

Will follow this with much interest, maybe I can learn how to replace capacitors....

I think that's a reasonable goal, Leslie. But don't start on your collection pieces first - instead, practice on disassembling some old junk. I will do my best to inform, but experience is the best teacher.

Alright peeps, almost an entire pound of caps is being delivered on Wednesday! How timely is that?!

BTW - this order carries parts for another receiver... LINK

The Realistic as shown in your link must be an oldie since I got that piece myself long long time ago!

Think I'm gonna join that Audiokarma forum as well.

Talking about Realistic, ever seen these funny loudspeakers?

Yes it is an oldie, I think I have dated it to 1971!

Those MC 1200 are very interesting, look like they are in decent shape too!

I must warn you that many members of Audiokarma are a little hostile against B&O. Have been trying to convince them that they were/are evolutionary in design and specs, but they seem to ignore me when I examplify with Beogram 4000/Beolab 5000/Beomaster 4400/Beosystem 8000...

This is true, I was there for that Soren! Yes that was me over there!

Leslie, If you are interested in conventional audio in addition to B&O, that is the place to be.

Well, remember there are some B&O fans at Audiokarma, Adam Smith not being the least of them!

Anyway, bla-bla... Evan, did you do anything this weekend? Photos please?

Hi Jacques, and no - I don't have my parts yet . Plus with my study load, no progress would have been made anyway.

Your wait will soon be over my friend!

I too know Beofriendly members in there, and find it amusing to see them commenting pictures of my gear!

Some members are just used to the silver-faced receivers, rack systems and Japaneese turntables 

I checked the tracking info to see what the hold up is. No wonder it is taking so long, the truck drove right past me! He nearly drove clear through Ohio! Only bit left is the B->C leg.

Read my BM 900 repair for dummies like me. but first solder something to get used to a solder iron. Then start with a speaker crossover.

To each his own, right?

Audiokarma members aren't any more hostile toward B&O as some Beoworlders have been hostile toward, say, Nakamichi cassette decks.
