once someone who know responds...

i have a pair of 110v bc3300's that i can part out or ship complete if it will work for you.

barry,

received your email...

can anyone confirm or deny that the bc3300 power supply is interchangeable w/ the bc4500?

...before i go tearing one apart.

I'm sure you're aware of this Barry but just in case you weren't, you could simply just use a step-up transformer. The product works in its new environment and its authenticity is maintained. I acquired a Beosound Ouverture (aka 4000) from Hong Kong and brought it to the States. With a cheap US$15 transformer it runs just fine.

Hi Jeff

Sorry I misunderstood

Actually that was my question to the forum other than the power supply from an 110v BC4500 which is obviously compatible, are there any other power supply from other Beogram BCxxxx models that I can use as a donor power supply to get 110v.

So I am not sure myself if the power supply from a BC3300 will interchange with a BC4500

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Barry

Hi Leo

Thanks yes I have considered this as an alternative,

Only difference I guess is the power supply is more stable in the USA.

Where my equipment will be located is in a small village in the South of Taiwan so the power is a little unstable that is the only reason I though best to use the correct power supply.

All my B&O equipment (BS9000 BL8000 BL6000 BL4000) are currently at B&O Taipei been converted from 220v to 110v (I must say also at reasonable cost)

I have already sourced an 110v Power Supply (ebay) for my BG4500 and had the conversion done and it works fine.

But I now need to source an 110v for my BC4500

My impression of power transformers/converters was big and heavy, but I guess this has changed if you can buy one for US$15.00.

I will keep the transformer route as an option if I have no luck to source the actual power supply

Thanks

Barry

Dear Jeff

Have spoken with B&O here in Taiwan

They confirm that a Power Supply from a BC 3300 will fit in a BC 4500

Please can you quote me to send a BC 3300 110v Power supply to Taiwan

Thanks for your help

Barry

barry,

will do. i will go thru my (2) remaining bc3300's and let you know.

barry,

have a bc3300 on the table and stripped to the core. before i "pull the plug" on this...

what exactly do you want? the transformer is soldered via 8 pins to the main board. do you want just the transformer, the transformer +plug, the whole ass'y including the board, or would you rather i just pack up the whole piece to you? it is not that heavy...

LMK - i can take a pic if it helps.

Dear Jeff

Don’t want to cause you work time and trouble

Also to be on the safe side just quote me to pack the whole thing up and ship it to me in Taiwan

Thanks

Barry
