Hi asharland,

This is what I did when I had a Beomaster 3000-2 light bulb issue: I replaced it with a SMD LED that I soldered to a 680- Ohm current limiting resistor, which just fit into the light bulb socket...here are some pictures:

It looks quite original from the outside...

Enjoy!

Hi Harry

Thanks for this. This is very clever and very neat!

In fact, I think I may have sourced some replacements from a vintage fan in Denmark, but this is a great plan B.

Have a great weekend and thanks again

Andrew

RS Components carry them in stock! I bought six  ( I collect 3000/4000 Beomasters - eight at present!) for 'two thirds of not a lot' - changing a dud bulb for a new one is a doddle.

Thanks Danny. Thats good to know. What a great amp the 3000 is! I quite fancy getting a 4000 at some point too!

Andrew

Hi Danny (no relation I assume), thanks for the post point us to RS. They have lots of them with different current ratings, which did you find the most suitable?

I can't find any current specs on the one I took out of my 3000.

Cheers

The 3000 and 3000-2 receivers seem to me to produce a smoother sound compared to the 4000. I still use the 3000-2 I bought new in 1973 and it is as good today as the day I bought it. 

That said, all three are great pieces of 1970's HiFi at its best, both in terms of design and performance and apart from the odd lamp bulb failing, are totally trouble-free if used on a regular basis.
