if I may say so, looks nice for a radio from '64...

thx Martin, just figured out myself ;-)

And in case you wondered where the damaged FM tuning knob has gone... fixing a picture is faster then fixing the real thing!

When you post as you just did, hit the options tab at the top of the posting frame and then Add/Update to attach a photo.
When you are done, click the "Post" button at the bottom of the frame.

Hi iPaul,

Nice to hear from you! Yes, I have the FM antenna, and not damaged! As I wrote above I paid 20 EUR so that seems a very fair price to me, even with damaged knob and no power supply, at least I am happy with it.

And as you indicated I will try an external power supply, I also thought 1A should be more than enough (I think 500mA might be enough, but better safe than sorry ;-)

And spare parts to restore this to the original state would be brilliant! I might post some pics, or is that not common practice on this forum?

(I haven't gotten the PM yet as I just checked)

cheers, dickb

Hi ***, i'm back in NL now so if needed i could help here and there (as i replied to you in the PM).

For the time being, if you don't want to do 'harm' to the originality of the radio you could just buy a standard power adapter of say 1A (set to 9V) and connect it with clips to the battery contacts.

Is the double telescopic FM antenna still present on your's ? (a next thing usually missing).

In coming future i may have some spares for this model since i have 4 (i think) and only want to make/keep 1 complete and working :).

Also i could advise you just to keep your eyes open on the usal internet selling places since here in NL i have seen this type of radio being offered several times for little money, if you're lucky you'll find one with power supply and/or antenna and/or schematics....

The funny thing is i also know that on international sites these sometimes are sold for big money, in other words: i don't think it's a waiste to make it complete, original and working....

Also because i find 'in the world of B&O' this is a bit of a strange radio, somehow it doesn't seem to fit in with the other products which makes it kind of special....

(hmm...i didn't type the censor stars where your name was to be, if this is some auto-censor thing i find this shouldn't be necessary here....)

Thx for the link Andy, I cannot use that one right away, since I have no portable radio, but a stationary on batteries. I could make it fit of course, but then it might be easier to build a stabilized powersupply myself.

But I'll keep an eye on it anyway, so if the price doesnt go up too high, and the seller wants to ship to NL...

Dillen:

The knob will be a bit hard to find. I would love to be proved wrong but I think they are unique to this model and the tuning knob is the only one of that size, the others are far smaller. Maybe one of the early Beolit portables (611 DeLuxe) is close enough ?
I don't sell manuals.
PM to D1ck.

Tak Martin!

I am a newbe, but I haven't seen so far a model with comparable knobs. Btw the tuning knob I meant was the FM tuning knob, and that is a small one. Not that I think that changes the case and many people will have them lying around... ;-)

I will later try to post a picture with the damage, because I think it will be easier to repair than to source a spare one.

But I paid 20 Euro for the radio, so not much to complain anyway I guess...

Don't know if it's relevant, but at the moment there is a Beopower 1000 for sale on eBay. Seems to have a choice of outputs.
Might be worth a look

Absolutely great help Martin!

Will have a closer look tonight. It'll take me a bit more time because I am not near as half technical as you guys, but interesting stuff anyway ;-)

A few more questions:

- would it be possible to purchase the schematics (or a copy of it)?

- my FM tuning knob is damaged and I was wondering if there was a source to purchase replacement parts?

thx, d1ck

To me, it seems that everything runs on -9V when batteries are used and
split up when mains is used so that the amplifier then runs on -12V and the rest on -9V, both voltages then coming from the mains power supply.
According to the schematics, the positive lead from the battery pack goes to ground (through the power switch!).

e1f1/e2f2 is the power switch.
e3/f3 is for switching on the dial lighting (constant on when run on mains).
Contacts 1-12 are for switching between mains and batteries.
