Vintage B&O repair in Australia

10 replies

Hi

Can anyone recommend a repairer in Australia who can work on a Beomaster 8000 receiver?

My local B&O repair centre is not interested.

Needless to say the Beomaster is heavy to ship 21kg (47lbs) unpacked.

Thanks in advance

So you've tried,

Thats all I can think of.

Im in WA as well :-)

If what they fixed has failed, they should either repair it under warranty or refund you. That's shocking service for $400! They can't just wash their hands of it. Get some local consumer advice.

Unfortunately Perth is very isolated it is 2700km to Adelaide which is next nearest city.  As I have quite a lot of B&O gear I can't really afford to upset   the local repair centre!

And that's probably why you gotthe service you did. I wouldn't let them get away with it. I'd be prepared to take it further up the chain to B&O to let them know of the poor level of service.

Greetings john,

Did you get your BM8000 repaired in the meantime ?

I am in perth as well 

Drop a line if you feel like as I share similar trouble with vintage B&O products

Cheers - ALF

Hi Alf

Sad to say I haven't got the BM8000 repaired yet but I do intend to. I bought from Dillen a replacement capacitor kit but I'm a bit worried about my soldering skills!

I did ask a friend who does electronic repairs if he would look at it for me, but he declined because it had already had a repair.

The problem with the BM8000 is the shipping weight. I have been told of a repairer in Queensland who is supposed to good and of course there is "Beolover" in the States and I shudder to think what the shipping to the US and back would be.

I also have a Beomaster 4000 that needs fixing, I bought it off Gumtree supposedly working, needless to say it didn't work just blew fuses and it needs quite a bit of cosmetic work. However it only cost me $40 so its not a disaster.

What are your vintage B&O problems?

You can always phone me on 9255 3064

Regards John

 

 

It might be more cost effective to fly Belover over for a working trip to Perth so he can fix all our stuff haha 

I'm not joking by the way.

I need some some work done as well haha

What if you guys teamed up and shipped a big box to a good repairshop?
