Congratulations on a job well done.  Look to the east at 7:00 pm EDT - there will be a toast to you from Florida.

Will pick up my true old magnetic compass and face 80-85°, in my left hand a well mixed Rum and coke, and will say out loud: "SKÅL Rich". at the same time listening to BM 4400 connected to P45s, playing from CD Bruce Springsteen, No Surrender.

So Søren, now that you have your Beomaster 4400 brought back from the brink, as it were an electronic Phoenix and now performing brilliantly, can you not say that it is absolutely beautiful?

I can only imagine your pride on what you created from such a dubious candidate for restoration, yet you did it.

Have another rum and Coke® and tell us how you feel about your 4400 and please let us know how it SOUNDS!

Not to compete in any way with Rich, but I am currently drinking a toast to you and your Beomaster 4400 from beautiful British Columbia. True it is cheap white wine, (budget restraints being what they are, but it is the thought that counts!)

I celebrate your victory with you my friend!

Jeff

Congratulations Søren!

you finally succeeded in finding the fault after the great work you did before restoring the BM4400.

Enjoy your great work!

Un-bloody-believable.....I have been watching with great interest from Australia. At one stage I thought you were going to outshine even the great Icelandic sagas with your BM4400 story.

Well done, and congratulations. I'm about to launch into recapping a BM8000.....now if only I could work out what to do with this oscilloscope....😕

Ralph, a big thanks to you, your advices and help, kept me going, and I learned a lot from this journey, it will keep my BeoVirus alive and blooming, and I had a lot of fun doing it. I´m still wondering why a small failure like this, can have such an impact on a circuit, and I am studying the schematics to try to understand it.

BTW, the BM was playing 4 hours yesterday, connected to P45, Bvox 1600 and BG 1202, playing FM and some LPs.

Congratulations Søren

I haven't had much time lately to check out Beoworld. But I just to had to see how you were doing with your 4400 project.

I'm really glad to see that you have solved the problem and brought this wonderfull classic receiver back to life...Well done 🤒

I will also salute with a good Danish beer (Easter Brew)

With all these international toasts and salutes I think the world’s breweries, wineries, and lacquer concerns must have had to put on an extra shift! And they owe it all to Søren and his magnificent achievement. 🤩
