Does anyone have a full parts list for the beomaster 6500 ? I need to replace TR12 which shows at a BC337 but there are different versions of the BC337 (different gain). I have the service manual and schematics but neither show this detail.

I have a very depressing update on this issue. Early on I tested the low voltage rectifier and it didn't fail in that the internal diodes had readings in the correct direction however, the voltage drop to the pos and neg terminals were different, 0.5v and 0.7v. Stupidly, I ignored this and continued testing components, I've now replaced it and all has now come back to life, except, now I have no sound and I am pretty fed up right now.

All and any suggestions welcome.

No output from the headphone socket either

Are the amplifier sections powered at all?

There was until something popped while I was checking !! Now I've got nothing again.

Before it popped I found 40v on one channel and nearly 80v on the other. No idea what's gone now, both power supply fuses are fine, I now just have '-' on the right side if the front panel.

I've not been able to fix this yet but I have got hold of a BM7000 and something odd has happened. Having used my beolink 1000 and MCP6500 with it neither will now operate my original 6500 equipment.

????

Before you all call me an idiot I've realised the problem is that the BM7000 is not transmitting the instructions to the 6500 equipment.

Anyone know if there is any resolution to this problem ?

Anyone know if I can swoop the microprocessor board over with the dead BM6500

No.

Is the Beomaster receiving orders from the remote control?

Martin

Yes, the BM7000 IS responding to all commands but is clearly not talking to the CD Tape or Phono

Are the Tape/CD etc. connected to the correct sockets? (The sockets are often confused because of the printing).
All seven pins present in their respective DIN plugs?
