Is this forum dead?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 19, 2025 23:39Wow, my login credentials still work! I don't think I've posted here in years. I'll need to refamiliarize (is that a word?) myself with the current scene. Good to see a number of old names still around. -mika
Beogram 6500 broken plastic piece
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 30, 2021 10:24The cord / spring will fit noticeably tighter with this usual fix, because the bolt sits centered in the hole. The original plastic lug is on the edge of that same hole (right side in the above picture) and much smaller …
Advice needed: Vintage B&O US to Europe Power Conversion
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 10, 2021 00:22The Beolab 8000s can be converted to work natively on European 230V, but you probably won’t get any help from B&O for that (this involves some grinding and jumpering of the power supply board). But they’ll run happily on…

Chassis swap between 21" and 28" CRT Beovisions
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 3, 2020 11:57Thanks Nick - can you believe it took me a month to notice your reply 😂 This certainly helps. I'll probably start with repairing the MX4000, the summer house can wait six months now... The LX6000 chassis is annoying to …
Resistance between Powerlink sockets
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 20, 2020 13:15The extra cabling etc may well add a few ohms. Anyway, it's not designed into the circuit - no need to replicate resistances that are not supposed to be there 🙂
Resistance between Powerlink sockets
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 19, 2020 09:31That's the amp section from a Beolab 5000 speaker, right? The Powerlink connectors are simply connected in parallel. The 3 ohms must be due to bad connections.
New find on Amazon.nl: new B&o headphone
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 28, 2020 10:49I'm glad it's on-ear and not in-ear 😂
Chassis swap between 21" and 28" CRT Beovisions
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 25, 2020 22:38TL, DR: is it possible to swap the chassis between the smaller and larger MX/LX models? I'm fully aware all picture geometry settings etc will be completely off, but will it work otherwise? I've been reading through the …

Blown Beolab 8000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 28, 2020 17:07You’re talking about Beolab 8000 as in the title, right? Most likely the disintegrating damping foam has corroded one or more of the PCB traces on the PSU board. You do not need a new module just because of that. There a…
HDMI CEC protocol
in General Discussion & Questions · May 31, 2020 22:10[quote user="ngnear"]Yet another thread “raised from the dead“ by a spammer. 😉 [/quote] Correct. Rather frustrating, because these kind of spammers usually only make that one post, so banning & deleting is mostly just f…
SOLVED! Finding the service menu on a 1989 MX5000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 26, 2020 14:24That "1989" on the back of your telly is not the production year, it's the copyright year of the design. Anyway, well done! That horizontal shift with RGB input is inherent with all B&O tellies with this similar chassis,…
STBbrackets, what’s up?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 21, 2020 17:00[quote user="OlivierC"]I opened this thread not as a complaint. [/quote] And my reply was certainly not aimed at you - just a general observation, that might help people understand why things don’t currently always happe…

Beolab 5000 Reviews
in General Discussion & Questions · May 21, 2020 14:44These floor stand ideas keep making the rounds every now and then. I suspect the speakers have no bass at all when not mounted on a wall.
Problem downloading service manuals
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 26, 2020 09:48I tried a few (on iPad) and they all worked. I suggest you try a different browser or/and PDF viewer. If it still doesn’t work, name a specific problem file and we will look into it.
Bang & Olufsen terminates every ten employees.
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2020 10:05It’s sad enough that people lose their jobs - is it really necessary to terminate them as well?
BeoLink 7000 Remote
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 10, 2020 14:49The charger base (mains plug) would be different between EU / UK. My strong guess is the remote unit itself is completely identical.
