[quote user="Søren Mexico"] If you had to take it out again, wouldn't the glue damage the coil ?? [/quote] Please have a look at the photo of the filter "before" upgrade (2.nd. photo on this thread) - you will see the the "pertinax" washer on top of the coil. /Frede

[quote user="Søren Mexico"] Sure looks crowded, I dont see the 3rd coil, is it hidden under the 68 Mu cap, and did you glue the cap to the coil ?? [/quote] Yes, the 68uF cap is glued on top of the coil and to the other 68uF cap. /Frede

Casdave, First, thanks for your suggestions, I will certenly check - and remplacer if needed. This is really interesting. What was the final result of your restoration ? /Frede

I think yours are original Peter, the MKIII have been sold with 2 types of bass units - one with 'big dust cap' and one with small dust cap' /Frede

I don’t remove any wires at this stage. I only pace the filter at the top of the cabinet and do the work here. I suggest using some protection between the filter and your Beovox 5000. The process require a few changes to the filter because the new caps are physical much bigger and more heavy. I will rearrange and I will use hot melt gluing of

I am going to start the process by replacing these capacitors. You need to remove the bass speaker and some damping material. Then you can see the crossover filter. You can then remove the 4 bolts and careful remove the filter for a more easy restoration.

Replace the capacitors in the crossover network Bipolar capacitors produced for more than 50 years ago are dried out and need replacement. I will replace the capacitors with some (expensive) MKT film capacitors (metallised polyester film) I am using some from Bennic and Monacor Here you can see the old bipolar caps and the new film capacitors. /Frede

I have started to upgrade my Beovox 5000 MKIII designed for Beolab 5000 (1967-1972). I am planning the following: Replace the capacitors in the crossover network Replace the internal wiring to the bass driver Replace the external cable Coat the cones of the midtone- and bass drivers /Frede

I found this lamp designed by Hans Haugaard and Niels Esmann (or should we say re-designed ;) The link: http://www.lite-house.dk/shop/knob-bordlampe-230v-6204p.html Some of us saw this design allready in 1967 /Frede

...and the Beomaster 5000
