Hi Frede, you are right the plug is the problem. Any idea where I can get a picture of it so that I know what I am looking for? If I can't get the plug, is it possible to simply push in the bare wires? Cheers Andrew

Hi Frede, thanks for your help with the slider, hopefully the WD-40 lasts. (you can see my thread under Beolab 5000 system.) Beomaster: Type 2005, Series 08, No. 52040 Beolab: Type 5303, Series 07, No: 33803 Andrew

Hi everyone, today I decided to take a stab at trying to fix the tuner. Moving the slider was quite difficult. Frede gave me some good advice to make sure that I removed the string before taking off the front cover. (I would regret this later).
