Dear Members.
A very good friend of mine gave me a perfect 1900-2 Beomaster. He had it in box for 25 years and he even gave me all the documents of purchase. I cleaned it a bit and tried to test it but the only think i got as a s/by led on. The unit does not wake up. I have checked a lot of parts like the bulbs some test points etc, but no luck. The only bad resistor i found so far was a broken resistor 5R1 (1.8k) which is connected to the 5d1 (s/by led indicator). I would like to ask you If the beomaster can be activated without puting on the cover with the copper metals that guide to the buttons, maybe only by touching the pins with the finger.
Thank you very much for your advise.
