Re: BS3000 CD Mechanism - Type

Just put c2103 in the search box and search the whole site. Yes, it is a capacitor used to smooth the laser supply in Beocenter 9000/9500 types.

The same circuit is not used in the Ouverture and it's derivatives but I believe there is similar.

I have just checked the service manual and I could be talking complete bo11ocks. I suggest you contact Dillen or Die_Bogener who will certainly know more than me!

It's proprietary I'm afraid so you can't rob one from another make although plenty of competitors do use the same basic mechanism.

The B&O kit will include the later CD Pro II and a new interface board.

In all probability, you do not actually need a new mechanisn. It is probably the familiar C2103 type of problem that occurs with all the other Philips CD servo boards and would cost pence to put right!

I am not familiar with the servo board used in the Beosound 3000 types but someone out there must be. Suggest you try Dillen or Die_Bogener.

Hi - my friend whose an engineer has had a look at my BS3000 and it needs a new mechnism - B&O have quoted £200 for the parts - does anyone know if I can use one from another CD player like a philips? or is it propriety? It's the large clamp one with N.Music etc.

Any help as always much appreciated.
