I also got a kit from him for my BM6000 and it was a very reasonable price. Not to mention that it comes with nice coloured, clear instructions and diagrams for installation!</p> <p>As far as an easy job this depends on your experience and how much spare time you have, I not having any, sent mine to a repair centre. The older gentleman there was quite experienced with componant repairs, but he found it quite time consuming (doubled with a busy period at the time, it took him a while to finish) , I think probably for the reasons Fredrik has mentioned as its quite fiddly getting all the boards in and out.</p> <p>That said, my unit sounds real sweet, smooth and effortless now!</p> <p>Best you get the kit and have a look and see if your able to do it, and have a repair guy on hand just in case you can&#39;t.</p> <p>Laurence.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203255.aspxWed, 13 May 2009 05:37:27 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:203255Andy 0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203255.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=203255<p>Does anyone know the cost of a cap kit for the 8000?</p> <p>Thanks</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203172.aspxTue, 12 May 2009 15:16:35 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:203172Mohawk0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203172.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=203172<p>It&#39;s quite easy in my opinion. If u can solder and desolder components its pretty straight forward. Just keep in mind the polarity of the caps. Most difficult and time consuming work is to remove the boards and put them back again. Complete one board at a time.</p> <p>/Fredrik&nbsp; </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203161.aspxTue, 12 May 2009 14:49:52 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:203161Andy 0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203161.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=203161<p>Is it fairly easy to do?? or do i need to find a repair shop??</p> <p>Andy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203152.aspxTue, 12 May 2009 14:19:59 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:203152Mohawk0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203152.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=203152<p>Hi</p> <p>Yes I did a cap replacement on my 6000 system and it sounds wonderful now.</p> <p>Im sure martin have a kit for this. </p> <p>/Fredrik</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203149.aspxTue, 12 May 2009 14:12:43 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:203149Andy 0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203149.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=203149<p>Thanks</p> <p>thought it might be does martin have cap kits for this??</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203147.aspxTue, 12 May 2009 14:11:27 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:203147Mohawk0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203147.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=203147<p>Hi</p> <p>Replacing old electrolytic caps will be my recommendation to get the clarity back.</p> <p>/Fredrik</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203019.aspxTue, 12 May 2009 07:24:01 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:203019Andy 0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/203019.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=203019<p>The glass is coming along nicely but on testing the unit the sound is very dull all channels work except the L on TP2.
