Hi all,

My friend's beomaster 6000 suffers from the usual old age problem of getting too hot.

I will replace and readjust the idle current trimmers for him, and I'd like to ask, before I begin, a couple of questions just to be sure:

-The idle current trimpots are R234 and R134 on page 5-1 of the service manual, right (called no-load current trimpots)?

-Anything else, besides capacitors, that should be replaced and readjusted while I'm in there (the offset output amp trimpots perhaps, see also 5-1 of service manual)?

-Are there any 'traps' I might fall in to (what's the English sentence), things that can go wrong and make trouble even worse?

Any advice, comments or good BM6000 stories are greatly appreciated!

I have lots of BM6000 stories, also some from owners trying their own luck with amplifier repairs ... 

Yes, replace the DC offset trimmers too. And all electrolytic capacitors, one pitfall could be that
some of them are bipolar (why not grab a kit).
Check also for cracked solder joints, especially at connectors and driver transistors.
