Hi Bert,

Tks. for the ID of your products.

There are no direct replacement transistors  - and please be very careful - I never use anything else than the originals for this amplifier. When I can use the original is because I use doner parts from other Beolab products.

The capacitors - you can use any new parts e.g. 4700uF / 100V for output and power supply. Please use good quality parts and for your own convinience - use parts with the original diameter. It will be more easy to mount these.

I agree with Frede.
The 2N3055 transistors can still be found but the risk of receiving counterfeit transistors exists, even from trusted dealers.
I was lucky to buy a small amount of New Old Stock RCA originals a couple of years ago, the same type as B&O used back then,
but I've also seen fake products, listed at Ebay and even from my own (otherwise superb) component dealer.

Use original parts if you can.
Semiconductors doesn't wear out so even used transistors are better than buying new and risking a tragedy.

Congrats Folke!

Frede et al,

Another tuner for your list... Does this expand the Serie 01 list by 51 units? 🙂

Beomaster 5000 [2005] (Teak)

No. 16594

Serie 01

Thanks for the registration, the result of the Serie 01 count - see below.

As you see your product did not expand the number count of serie 01 but is a most valued input for me. I have now a 'very good picture' of the quantities of the Beomaster and Beolab production quantities.

Thank you very much

Hello list & Frede-Classic

Some time ago I got my hands on a pair of Beolab 5000s and one Beomaster 5000.

They are:

Beolab 5000: Type 5303, Serie 04, No. 32000, E-4 (Oak)

Beolab 5000: Type 5303, Serie 10, No 57981, P-3 (Palisaner/Rosewood)

Beomaster 5000: Type 2005, Serie 03, no. 61537, E-4 (Oak)

Looks like it's only the one in the middle that ads to the list - expanding the Series 10 with only 4 🙂

Btw: The Oak-versions must be rather rare (and it's a bit pale - I'm not sure that I like it that much). 

Frede, have you got any idea of the distribution between Teak, Rosenwood/Palisander and Oak/Eg

- Claus

Hi Claus,

Welcome to BeoWorld and the 5000 club!

I have never heard of... nor seen a set in Oak... Are they "factory" or perhaps redone?

Could you post a pic or two?

Thanks Burantek,

Here is a pic that shows the Oak (as well as the one in Rosewood/Palisander).

I'm sure it's "factory" because the label says "E-4" (where Rosewood/Palisander is "P-3" - and Teak is either "T-1" or "T-2")
I remember this from working in the Radio-TV business (app 1975-1985) - and selling a lot of B&O.

Sorry about the state they are in... Haven't done anything to them yet (time and other projects).
As you can see, the former owner has swaped the small wood panels at the bottom (so it's Rosewood on the Oak Beolab and vice versa). And the 220 Volt plug on the Beomaster is a "female" - you can imagine that the live-plug must have been a "male" with 220 V on the two pins sticking out. Crazy!

And thank you, Claus!

Well... there they are! Looking forward to what Frede can add to this.

I am about to have several cabinets redone. I had inquired about other wood species options on another thread, so I find this not only incredibly interesting, but also very timely!
