Hello Martin,

 

I took them out, the bulb says 12v 30mA. I assumed this was correct, but maybe someone changed them before???

It certainly suggests that.

Hello Martin,

I discovered another mistake in the manual. Part 8 of the components list of my service manual mentions C1 as 47 uf, as the schematic says 470uf. I looked at it and it shows 470uf on the capacitor. Same mistake with the resistor before the the tone/balance indicators (part 8) schematic says 68 ohm, parts list mentions 680ohm. The board shows 3x resistors each 68 ohms (blue-gray-black-silver)

 

Are there incorrect manuals in circulation?

There are no correct manuals in circulation.
There are different manual issues, but they all have countless typos and other mistakes.
Tech note updates etc. occasionally had some corrections to glue in, but some of them had mistakes too.
Best is usually to trust what's fitted from factory.

Hi Martin,

 

I’m new to this forum.  Where could I find the capacitor / bulb kit for the Beomaster 1900? I am retiring one that only has the standby light turning on.  I figured I’d start with replacing caps and lights.  

thanks for info.
