Hi
I've just finished recapping a Beomaster 2400 and refurbed a 1202 turntable which both work very nicely, so nicely my son decided he’d like them! Fortunately I’ve acquired 2 Beomaster 5000s, one worked on everything but phono input and the other was a bit more damaged with a receiver board in two pieces. How that happened I’ve no idea. I also acquired a non working MCP 5000 that’s been extensively bodged (see picture ) so I’ll have to unbodge it. Anyway there’s enough there to keep me going for a while !

Just doing a small test run of a rig I put together for a friend's house party. I needed a small stereo rig that I could fly with (checked bag here, though - no batteries) but packed a decent punch. I'll be running them through the 3.5mm aux from a small Motu sound card connected to my laptop so I can circumvent any app/wifi nonsense. Test run conclusion from my apartment: a pair of BeoSound 2s bring plenty of slam 😎

Nice, and sleek looking for the party too. Are you simply running Apple Music.app thru the MOTU M2, or something DJ-ier?

I had a visit from a couple of my cousins yesterday and they dropped off some B&O for 'repair' 😀
I powered each up briefly yesterday.
On the left a BeoSound 3000 - I think the only problem is the doors being very slow to open. CD and radio worked well. I'll strip it down, give it a good clean (remove white paint specks!) and replace the door drive belt at the least.
On the right BeoSound 4 with DAB. This seems pretty dead other than red standby light showing. The glass door opens, and moves further for CD loading as it should, but that's about it! I can't even put it in Service Menu. I have never worked on one of these before, so I had a quick search of the earlier forums and think there could be an 'unrepairable' problem with PCB06 (the main microprocessor board) so I don't hold out much hope! (It's not a PIN problem - I do have the PIN but it is not being requested, and I an unable to enter the PIN menu)
Anyway, I won't have any time to look at either until September, so I will get back to the forum to let you know how I get on ...

and replace the door drive belt at the least.My recommendation would be to also replace the clamper belt while you have it open since it is relatively easy to do.

Hello Beoworlders,
The belt of the arm carriage of my Beogram 6006 (type 5625, 1984, with linear motor) was broken and I replaced it.
Unfortunately, the detection arm was damaged during the disassembly and I had to fix it by gluing the plastic holder where the arm is screwed on the carriage.
I managed to have it horizontal.
Now, when I play a record, the carriage moves to the beginning of the record (it also makes a complete cycle with speed change if no record is present) and the stylus descends. So it seems that the detection system is OK.
But when the disc reading starts, the arm does not move and the stylus jumps as if with a scratched disc (see attached video). Same problem if I move the arm in the middle of the record.
What could it be and what can I check?
Thanks by advance,
Yann.
