I am working on restoring a Beomaster 1700 amp, and would like to be able to be able to repair damage to the printing on the slider controls and front panel. What fonts did B&O use in their designs, and do members have any recommendations or tips for restoring damaged front panels? It seems to be...

Hi Guys, I've just joined and am starting off with problems !!! - I have inherited a pair of Beolab 2500 speakers, but they are set for 120V and not for 240V supply - I've been doing a bit of reading on this forum and there are some posts which say that the transformer can deal with both inputs...

After searching the forum I could not find an answer to what seems like a small and simple problem, so here it is: I changed my Beolab 7-1 for a 7-4 (because in surround setup I think it sound much better).

As far as I can understand such a downgrade consists of nothing more than changing an IC in the MX7000. However, some questions comes to mind: 1...

Since about a year ago my DVD-1 seems to be becoming less and less reliable. After having played for about half an hour it starts making ticking noises, skipping tracks and soon thereafter it can't read the disk anymore. I have to switch the unit off, let it cool down and a little later can use it...

Since a few months I’m the happy owner of a 2hand Beovision Avant 28” VCR 50Hz/MK-I/MK-II, type 8111 (yes, a pretty old one J ). The set was equipped with a new tube (as was said to me by the private person who sold the set to me). After installing the Beovision at my home, sometimes the...

Hi all, I've finally got around to repairing my 1976 Beocord 2200 - type 4601, which I've had since new. The 2 problems are very specific: 1. When pressing PLAY >, with no cassette inserted, both the tape cogs rotate as expected. With a cassette inserted, the forward cog (pull) does not rotate...
