Now dismantling to try and fix/replace the faulty switch before proceeding further...

Replaced noisy fans with the most silent Noctua fans I could find (on sticky old ugly bedroom BV7-32 that came with a BL7-1 I bought)

I’m back in the US for a little while so I’m trying to sort out one of my other previous acquisitions, BL Penta MK2. They need the full overhaul so I bought all 3 cap kits and new foam surrounds. These will be the main L/R channels in the master bedroom and the basis of a surround system (eventually!).
Looking forward to seeing/reading some more on this project.

I'm working on a big speaker drive unit re-foaming session currently.

The two drivers at the left rear are from RL140s and I'm sure you can all work out where the SIXTEEN midrange drivers at the front came from!

It's been about 3 years I've been separated from by Beomaster 2000, but I have finally gotten it back on the bench.  I had a new tuner board made, and it has now been fit into place, and looks like it will be a goer.  Dial cord broke, so I am going to try and get it fit up again tomorrow.  That should just about be all that needs doing, though I'd like to do the AM/FM alignment, but my function generator isn't with me.  Photo's to follow as I get around to it.

I know this post is from March, but I have to ask what the issue with that DVD1 is? I have one I got for next to nothing as it is broken but in beautiful cosmetic condition. When loading a disc it just states reading and never starts playing. Is there a common repair for this? I have heard that the DVD1 was kind of junk from the beginning but it would be great to get it going again if its simple. Disc spins and everything looks alright inside but it just wont play!

Nice!

Did you change the lid or is it the original one? If so how did you get it back this nice?
