Hello at all,

Hello Lee,

thank you very much for your information.

Because I'm a newbie of the forum, what I must make to contact Frede? Have you his email address or his Beoworld nickname ?

If I upgrade my account I will find the Grand Prix Moderne 609K owner manual on the User & Service Manuals section?

Hi

We don't have either - but i will email Frede and make him aware of your thread. Hopefully he can help!

Thank you very much Peter, I'll try to contact Dillen. Your information was very useful.

Nice radio !

I never saw any english language user manual for this one and I don't even have the danish one.
I have a couple of backsides from scrapped sets but none for this model.
I am pretty sure that I have this model in my collection though but it may
be out of easy reach, packed in a storage box among hundreds of other boxes.
I will try to find it and see if I can take a photo of the backside.

The 3-pin plug for the turntable will be a bit hard to find.
I take it that you are looking for the plug that goes on the turntable signal cable and not the one mounted on the radio chassis (which I may be able to locate).
I have a B&O turntable for sale though with the correct plug mounted.
The deck is the type 608VF (with the old counterweight and built-in RIAA preamp). Interested, drop me a PM.

While you are in there, do yourself and the radio a favour and
replace the 6 blue axial electrolytic capacitors located at
the output stage board (the vertical board holding the 4
output valves which seemed to be missing when the photo was taken).
Mounted just above the output valves, these caps are in a fairly
stressed location, I recommend you fit 105deg components.

This is the Grand Prix Moderne 608.
Not exactly the same as your 609 (different plug locations etc) but the style is correct :

Thank you for yours very important and precise indications.
This unit is very beautiful (at least for me that I have tried it for years)
The only defect is that it does not have a FM Stereo Decoder.
I have repaired the final stage (the hoof of the first ECL86 had been crushed) and now all works perfectly.
The polarization voltages are corrected but I will replace however the capacitors, you given a good suggestion to me.
I connected the DVD player to ithe DIN plug for the Beocord (on the pin without 2,2 Mohm resistors).
Now I understand because the level of the volume remains low if I listen a CD, the 608VF was preamplified, while the exit of the DVD Player is only 200 mV.
Now I rebuild the backside.

 
If someone need diagram or photo for this machine I will be happy for being useful.
 

Hello Dillen, have you received my email?

I'm interested to buy the  608VF for the cable and the 3-pin cable.

Can you tell me the price?
