Not sure what you're looking for here. The obvious answer: work with the seller to file a 'damaged during shipping' claim. If the package appeared damaged when you received it you should have opened it in the presence of the deliverer (mail man, fedex, ups?). If not, take photos of the packaging and damaged Beosound. Don't throw anything

I recently picked up two LC1 light controllers, neither of which work (won't react to remote; touching metal top does nothing). Suspecting the fuses might be blown, I removed both of them. They look fine, but they're not identical, and both are labelled 250V / 3A. Is this normal for a U.S.-spec. LC1? (plug and Type/voltage shown on label are

You should be using Mk II powerlink cable. It's thicker, fully wired, and offers better shielding than Mk I. And it's required for the displays to work.

I'm having trouble finding the fuse in my LC1. I removed the bottom piece - is this where it is? I don't see any clear plastic, but I do see 2 screws under the plastic cover. Do I remove them?

No; contact member Dillen (Martin) - if anyone has them, he will. 'Not sure how complicated it is to replace.

'Assume you checked to make sure your tone (bass) settings didn't change. Try cranking up the bass and utilizing the 'loudness' control. The tape deck problem is undoubtedly a worn belt; the 2500 is no youngster.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm of the impression it's not a do-it-yourself job. Please keep us posted!

The 8002 and the TX were manufactured at the same time. Just look at photos of an 8002. The platter appears to be identical. No, the rubber inlays would not raise the record - the height difference was miniscule.

The TX had a much higher quality platter than the TX2 - heavier, shinier. 'Might have been the same as the 8002 used. Certainly not purchasable from B&O today. As I recall the rubber inlays are raised, but not measurably so.

The rapid descent of the tone arm is a very common problem, and can speed up the deterioration process of the stylus suspension. I once owned a TX with the same problem and I cringed every time I saw my MMC-2 mash into the record. The damping is electronically controlled and a fix is mentioned in this earlier thread.
