Hi everyone!

I'm new to Beoworld and I'll write my first message here since I've just got a nice sounding Beomaster 900K. Nice sounding but... Missing the bass and treble knobs. I'm not really sure if the other knobs are brass or aluminium... For sure they are not "shiny" and are a bit rough polished, so maybe aluminium? It would be great if someone could help me getting the missing ones. The bass and treble potentiometers are blocked, so I will try putting some sewing machine oil on them as suggested in another thread. I'll let you know about the results.

Thank you so much for your help (and congratulations for such an informative and useful forum!),

Marco

Marco,
Welcome to Beoworld !

I may be able to hlp you but there are so many knobs used on these lovely machines.
First; Are you sure that the volume and tuning knobs are correct ?
It's not unusual to find that the volume and/or tuning knobs are actually the tonecontrol knobs
that were moved to these more important positions when the others got lost.
If you could upload a photo of the remaining knobs, we may be able to help you better
and we also need to know the shaft diameter.

Hi Martin,

thanks for your message! Here are two pictures of the volume and tuning knobs. They look right to my eyes:

The shaft diameter of the missing knobs is 6 mm.

Even if my Beomaster was probably left unused for a long time and has some problems with the contacts and with the potis (everything works fine... after a little bit of exercise wich must be repeated every now and then), I'm amazed at the sound quality. It's no high fidelity sound, but it offers such an extremely musical and natural reproduction! It's somehow a very attractive sound and makes most musical details (at least with voice or chamber music) absolutely evident and ejoyable, something many newer digital devices miss completely... Wow!

Thanks for your help,

Marco
