A very cosmetically minty Beomaster 8000 showed up at my door today.

It even came with the BT8000 remote

She's nearly flawless, no dents scratches, ALL LED's work, yup no missing segments.

Phono, Tape 1 and 2 all work fine Rotary encoder wheels for Volume and Tuner work as well.

The Tuner works, sort of.

1: In AUTO mode, I can change stations, however my display will stay at "91.7", I can cycle through the whole North American FM band, just my display stays the same.

2: In MANUAL, I can change the freq display back and forward using the rotary encoder, across the whole range, the digits respond fine and will change back and forward. However, I can recieve no stations while in manual mode, nothing but static.... until, the display hits exactly "91.5"

When that happens, all of a sudden, the stations "Zip" by, in an audio burst of a bout 1 sec each, the signal meter will rise and the mpx light will flash, then. nothing but static.

It's like the stations are coming in "delayed" from rotating the tuner dial, and then each station "hits" for about 1 sec once the display reaches "91.5"

So to sum up, AUTO mode, I can tune into a station, however the display must be locked in to 91.7 first, once that happens, I can tune normally, except the display will never change. In manual mode, although the freq display will change and follow the dial, I cannot get any stations at all until I hit 91.5, and then I get a quick 1 sec burst of each station I passed, then static again.

Also, if I have a station locked in, and I set the preset, when I return to the preset, the station is lost.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
