Hello, new to Beoworld and new owner to an old Beomaster 3000 type 2402! Before I bought it I was told that there was scratch and bad noise from the switches so the first thing was to clean all switches as been told in this forum. After that and a gently cleaning of in-/outside I ended polish the teakcabinet...

Hi, Just signed up, just bought a BL5000, type 5303, Serie 2, serial number 66407 Beomaster 5000S Type 2007, serie 01, serial number 16757 also have a Beomaster 5000 type 2013, Serial number 74824, serie 01 I knew the Amp was defective when I bought it, am always up for a challenge! Turned out to have...

Martin, Your advice was absolutely spot on, as always! Everything works fine again after re-soldering all edge connectors, all pushbuttons respond as they should.

Unfortunately, to my surprise yesterday the pushbuttons on the main control panel stopped working. There is no response at all, which made me think of a loose connector...

Can anyone advise how deep problem might be? Sound went quieter (from mid) and indistinct, then with soft "bump" lapsed into silence while playing aux/CD. Power telltale remains lit, but both channels absolutely silent whatever vol/bal from tuner/aux i/puts, and all to outputs. No obvious external...

Well, I have some good news and some good news on the sparking (and capacitor) front(s). I finally solved the sparking issue. When I first retrieved the 1600, the aluminium cover panel (the brushed plate surrounding the tape turntables) had the two brass locating pins pulled out of their retaining holes...

Thanks casdave, that's exactly what's happened. The tants (especially on the preamp boards) have long since turned into, er, dynamic resistors. I changed the two in the preamps, and the hum and crosstalk disappeared from the preamps. I've just got around to getting a big bag of good quality...
