Yes, it is perfect. Missplaced means sideways so much that the outer screwhole on transformer side corner does not line with stud on bottomplate. I can live with that but just wondering why....

It could be the solenoid... they can deform after a while and not work correctly. Have a look at Condor Audio, just google Beogram 4500 restoration its a PDF file.

I think that is uncalled for Soren, very personal attack on a good friend of mine. Why is Beoworld turning into a tit for tat b**tching match? 

Surely we can all get along... These forums are an amazing resource, full of very intelligent people all sharing advice and stories on our favourite B&O hobby. Can a line be drawn under all the personality clashes and lets all try to get along.

Happy New Year,

Lee

Frankly Im not surprised by Sorens post I could of posted the same if Soren didnt beat me to it.
Apparently your good dealer friends neverending bragging comes across as immensely annoying to some members, including me.
Have you only got one ...  How many do you need...  I have a shed full, buy one off of me rather than repair your own!
To him posting a photo of how many hes got of any given piece of beo gear is more vital than helping others to anything but buying some of his stash, or so it seems.
He suggests we can just ignore him but thats tough when he seems to be everywhere.

If we are to comment on this subject, how to avoid getting personal?

But you put it well Lee. We all want what you suggest so now we only need to appeal to your good friend and convince him to work a bit on his attitude and appearance.

Sorry OP I have no idea whats wrong in your beo but I remain impressed by the amount of unselfish willingness and help you can get from this place.

Happy New Year

Sorry Lee, went a little overboard there.

Happy new year to you too

If he is who I think he is, he has published very nice picturestories about various refurb projects to us to learn.
Personally I dont see anything wrong if one get satisfaction by refurbing and selling things, I do it myself sometimes. I do feel satifited when I do get broken device back to life and looking good, and then sell it to someone others joy making one more happy B&O owner.

And very happy year to all

He has posted many threads on restoration and has helped a lot of people. He has a large collection and often sells people the items that they wouldn't fine elsewhere. I don't see a problem with trying to sell items, he is a paid up member after all, and he often has parts that people need...

I find the whole childish bickering and sly backhanded comments very distasteful. Its tantamount to school yard bullying. Can we please draw a line under all of this and let bygones be bygones. It's the start of a new year, lets all try and get along. If your not happy with someone's post then just ignore it...

Well said Lee.  I have also recently bought a magnificent system from this member which I could not have obtained in the condition it's in, nor for the price I paid anywhere else so am grateful to him and for some of his restoration threads.  I haven't always agreed with him on this forum but some of the posts are starting to get out of hand to such a degree that I have contacted the owner of the Forum to discuss the problem with him.

In addition, I understand, the member you are referring to has had enough of the grief he has received and has given up on Beoworld despite me trying to convince him to rise above it.  Another nail in the coffin for vintage collectors/restorers.  Fortunately Martin has returned but unless this unnecessary language and feelings abound, others will follow out of the door and Beoworld will be a lesser place for it.

Dave.
