My Playmaker let out the magic dmoke one day. Turned out it was one of the filter caps in the power supply that exploded Login to view image It smelled a lot like smoke and the smell was not gone before a week. I can still smell something inside it. Today I replaced both filter caps snd it looks like it is running again

They are suppressor caps. They MUST be Class X2 types - nothing else!

Recapping the crossover in my Beovox RL 45.2. I wonder if I am able to hear a difference

 

 

I received some quotes for glass shelving and boy was it pricey. Seems like B&O negotiated a good price with its suppliers back in the day... the tinting and beveled corners seemed to drive up the cost a lot. Largely though there was a ton of polishing involved to get the edges smooth.

At any rate, I decided to just move on with some scrap ply from the woodshop. this is ~12.5mm ply with some white PLA printed ends. I made 4 shelf plinths last night, two in each length. Going to make a few different colors to see what works best with the birch ply visually.

Looks nice so far.

Have you considered making the glass/plywood piece out of granite? A countertop shop might be able to do this at a reasonable price using off-cuts. Just a thought...

Thanks, Glitch!

I would like something a bit more substantial eventually, maybe I'll find a piece of granite that goes with the look. A darker plinth would be nice that way I can do some different, richer colors for the printed pieces. Only thing is I need a few of them.

Ultimately I will have several of these on top of a shelf in approximately this arrangement:

The plywood was for sure not the original direction but it makes for a nice, warm and light-hearted version of the design.

Hi All

Been working on a whole bunch of stuff lately but as of now my trusty beomaster 6000 has been getting hotter then usual so figuring that out. Past weeks ive also recapped a CdX and what a wonderful player it is.

Have just been finishing up refoaming a set of C75ish speakers. A project that was started some years ago, but then other projects came in front of it.

The reason for calling them C75ish is that my father put them together from parts he was give by colleagues on B&O and/or had lying around. That is also the reason they do not have any markings on either the front or the back. , And that is the reason why I ordered parts for CX100 crossovers at first when I recapped them, but realised that something was wrong and had to order the right one afterwards 😔 you live and you learn.

I just realise now that the tweeter in one of them is indeed not the original one and is butchered in in an unofficial way. I may have to order a new one.

But I may also keep them this way as they got nostalgic value. They was the speakers for the music system in our living room in my childhood home and have been beaten to the max by me and big brother when my parents was not at home 😃

Refreshing a Beocenter 3500. Cleaned all the turntable contacts and starting the recap process. Also if anyone knows the shim size for recentering the spindle post motor bearing replacement, please let me know. Thanks
