Thanks John. What do you use then?

Beomaster plastic trims veneering

Hi,

Usual stuff… done ?

This 1900 type 2903 is not the most cleanly executed, as regards PCB. Lots of solders still had a lot of flux around. The later 1900-2 was much cleaner. Looks original too. Someone had indeed been there before but wasn’t up to fixing it (as usual, touch panel not correctly mounted, etc).

 

Now looking for someone to veneer the trims. The previous owner just removed it from the front, advertising it as mint ?

Unless someone here has new or mint ones, that is!

Martin, how come you haven’t come up with a re-veneering service yet? ?

Edit: is that why there are so many white ones? ?

Chances are that the transformer’s thermal fuse has had it. Do test that first.

Maybe the board is still good.

[chartz]

Ha ha! ?

Hi,

Can’t you repair the one you have? It isn’t rocket science!

[chartz]

Hi,

Yes to all! Except for 5 ☺️

Even 2.2 µF will do.

[chartz]

Remember guys when we posted all those repair threads back in the day?

Have people just lost interest?

[chartz]

Thanks ?

I cracked it – TR25 was bad after all, but is still fine on the bench, statically. I had it in the drawer, a BC172B.

Good on the tester then but bad under pressure. I just shorted EC and found out the Beomaster switched off doing that.
I hate that kind of fault! A transistor is dead but it wants to live when tested with low voltage…

The BM1900 now switches off normally, and as suspected IC6 is good (it measured so).

Thanks for looking.

Wow!
Who else than our very own Martin could come up with these?

Gorgeous, well done once again ??

[chartz]

That’s right. But the new forum allows about everything you might want to do anyway. The only – and very useful – interest of the app was to be able to take a photo directly for insertion in your posts.

True. The Beolab 8000 and the pizza boxes are a joy to use and behold.

[chartz]

I agree: don’t bother and just enjoy pressing the start button of a nice 1700 or 5000. Or of course a 4000…

[chartz]

None can be remote controlled by B&O modern equipment. Try to find a nice mint Beogram 1700 of 5000. But you’ll need a phono preamp.

Hi Alf. ☺️

PM sent.

[chartz]

Bonjour,

Manuels bien reçus, avec les suppléments s’il vous plaît !

?

[chartz]

J’ai donc pris le BM4400 et la BG4000. Merci Yann.

Ça va prendre du temps à scanner pour les déposer ici !

[chartz]

Salut Yann !

Très intéressé.

Je cherche pour la Beogram 4000, entre autres.

Hello Steve,

My favourite one remains the Beolab 5000 amplifier. No contest. Then, the mighty Beomaster 8000.
