Had the pair of speakers hooked into set I and an antenna - still no green stereo light. The right speaker was ~ twice as loud as the left with the volume all the way up and the balance all the way to the right. It was pleasantly loud but not impressively loud. Moving the balance to the middle, it was overall softer, though sound came from the left

Powered it up and... I heard some radio! Turned on power, both speaker set buttons, and FM, alternatively with AFC - which seems to limit reception? Did not see the green stereo light, did see the strength indicator meter needle move to the center with increased reception. Do I need a stere decoder? Says something in the back about - and there seems

Thanks again everone for the help (already ordered the converter, pretty cheap and will be nice to have as I might want one of these ). I will let you know what happens. So that red circle on the back is the FM aerial? I was worried, it sort of looks like auxilliary power - not exactly what you want two stick wires you're holding into Shorting via

Thanks for the info. I got the 100W. It says 50 Hz 30-140W on the back of the Beomaster 1000. Will the 100W converter be OK, or should I get the 200W? Thanks, Bill

Thanks all for the quick replies! Any hints on where I might find a suitable 110v to 220v converter on the cheap? Also, in lieu of 2-pin DIN connectors, can I just stick speaker cables into the holes (to test)? What would be a recommended method to clean this unit, and what sort of issues might a unit this old have? Why would someone throw this out

I'm in the USA and found a 220 VOLT version of the Beomaster 1000 2301-3 (white keys). The case is dirty and along the dial at the front edge of the window (with stations printed in Danish), it's missing its white plastic covering. But the tuning dial moves the needle across the dial. The knobs and buttons all seem to be present and functional
