Following on from Peters BM8000 I have decided to take a look at this unit, came by way of Solderon (well I have to have something to occupy my time!) I'm not sure about these "modern day" pieces, prefer the metal and wood construction...and the micro-computer thing is also daunting, but they do look rather slick with the digital display.
A beomaster 6000
As Solderon said the unit is fully functional and only requires a bit of a service
First look inside and after Peters BM8000 I got a bit of a shock at how much space there was inside, not packed to the gunnels with circuit boards and ribbon connectors
And it has the optional remote control module installed.

I am sure Martin will confirm or deny, but doesn't the BM6000 use the same outer skin as the Beocord 8000 and sisters?

Exactly!
This was my very first Beomaster, 10 years ago 😋
Yes Martin.....and it works too, tried it out with the remote belonging to Peters BM8000 ;¬)
Had a look at the emitter current settings before I start to replace anything.....left channel looks a little on the high side...should be 22mV,
Right channel is a little higher still......I will be changing the pots out for 25 turn units, so now looks like I need to get some components on order...first impressions are it should be easy to work on given the ease of access, we'll see.
I did a full recap but what it needed most to be stable was the replacement of both trimmers. Before that, it would get hot very quickly.
You'll see that it gets hotter than the BM 8000 when idle. That's normal.
