Beovox S45-2 bad sound after transportation

25 replies

I have ordered a multimeter - it will be here on Monday or Tuesday. 
I am not sure what you mean by “HF units”. I would have thought those were the tweeters I mentioned earlier that I swapped with no difference to hear afterwards. 

I will be getting a soldering iron very soon - I have started reading guides to learn how to use it. 

Ah okay, sorry.

The beginning of a new adventure then! 🙂

It isn't difficult but you want to make sure and use soldering flux whenever you solder. I like the no-clean flux paste that comes in a syringe.

I have news I want to share with all of you!

Today I opened the box with my soldering iron for the first time - and changed the capacitors. And now the speaker works perfectly!

Thank you all so much for your help in guiding me to possible solutions. I hope this great sound will last long.

Next up: To figure out what is wrong with my Beogram 5000 that won't play when I hit the play button. My new interest in vintage B&O is not a pure plug-and-play experience, but now I have felt the joy of succeeding with a repair, so I will do all I can to restore the turntable.

Bravo, well done!
