Peters Beolab 5000

A new challange has been thrown down at the weekend! symptoms are channel fading on one side.....will get the manual out and read up.......... 

Ok....getting back to this one now Roasties BG4000 has been dispatched, connected my Ipad up to the AUX input and played a tune....got a very poor weak sound from the speaker 2 outputs....bit concerned I plugged the Ipad into the TAPE input and the sound reproduction is very good. Cant detect any fading from either channel...in fact it sounds very nice. will try speaker 1 outputs with a centre speaker too and see how that goes.....not sure why the AUX input isn't happy with the Ipad…..

This is the Beolab 5000 that Frede restored for me in 2008. Been serving up sterling work for some time now but suddenly developed a fault - may well be the Aux in...

Was over in your neck of the woods last weekend, drove right past Earsdon on my way to a wedding in Whitley Bay......lovely place ;¬)

You should have popped in! I could have given you another VCR ! Have a wonderful V2000 model looking for a home!

popped the top off for a look inside, bit dusty but otherwise in very good shape....all previously recapped. Power supply, Driver Stage Left and Right

Pre Amps, Amps II, Tone Control Amps left & Right.

Pushbuttons, Filters,more Amps and Level Control.....

Very compact in there....will give it a clean and make a start tracing a signal through the AUX input, see how it looks

Interesting seeing a unit from Classic Audio from the inside, check the switches, I had to clean the switches various times on the 2 units I restored
