Sooooooo I finally got myself a Beolab 5000 , and it is perfect visual shape, yeeeah
Begun renovation, could see that atleast half of the caps were bulging, so I took the decision of total recap, to begin with.
Endless work...sooooo many caps in it.
Have decided to order new windows from Dillen, to start with.
Anyone that have tips for this renovation ?
Check my thread, dont forget to change the black drop TRs ( there are 2 black drops in the cooling elements, open the slide poties for cleaning-
And if you have a good idea on how to clean the switches please tell, the switches are the biggest PIB in this amp.
Shortly Sonavor will start on a BL 5000 so stay tuned

Thanks Søren
intersting, why opening the plasticcpas over the output 2N3055 ?
Why is cleaning there important ?
Wrong written from me, there are 2 BLACK DROP TRs in the cooling elements, they need changing.
Open up the slide potentiometers for cleaning.

This is from a Beomaster 5000 (not a Beolab) but here is another photo of the "black drop" transistors Søren is referring to.
About the switches, well not all of them seem affected. I've got one of the last produced and the switches are fine. So are the caps by the way.
