Expressions of interest (from Australia but read on)
in For Sale · Oct 11, 2026 03:13I'll be heading back to Aus in about a month, I have sitting there a Beocord 8000 (unrestored, broken but complete plastic panel with a repro key panel included), a Beocenter 3500 (unrestored, untouched, unbroken cover, …
Beomaster 2000:2801 tuning/stereo lights
in BeoMaster · Mar 26, 2023 08:24Moved it into another room, no change. Bottom tuning lamp is very dimly lit, and doesn't seem to change much as you search stations. Bluetooth module is mostly working well, though I have the wifi router right next to it…
Beomaster 2000:2801 tuning/stereo lights
in BeoMaster · Mar 26, 2023 00:02Reception seems really strong, no static and otherwise clear and I have a lot of stations to choose from down here. I suppose I could try it in a different room. I didn't replace any of the trimmers in the FM section, on…
Beomaster 2000:2801 tuning/stereo lights
in BeoMaster · Mar 25, 2023 13:29No, haven't touched the lamps. Like I said, they did work, albeit only briefly. I don't think I'm getting stereo reception either, as it happens. Mono switch makes no difference to sound.
Beomaster 2000:2801 tuning/stereo lights
in BeoMaster · Mar 25, 2023 02:57I am just about done with the restoration of my BM2000, however the tuning lights for FM don't work, or not consistently. Yesterday, they were lit for a couple of minutes, but then disappeared, and haven't come back. The…
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 19, 2023 10:15Hooked it all up and...it works, mostly. No FM stereo, tuning lights, and stereo lights don't come on. Though it does find stations in roughly the right places. For the moment though, it's progress.
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 19, 2023 01:00Well it took a while to get back to it... Here is the tuner board installed in the BM2000: I had to replace the string as the original had broken, and that was a bit of a nightmare as I'd not done it before. I needed to …
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2023 13:42It's been about 3 years I've been separated from by Beomaster 2000, but I have finally gotten it back on the bench. I had a new tuner board made, and it has now been fit into place, and looks like it will be a goer. Dial…

Faded lettering on Beomaster 3000 faceplate
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 4, 2021 10:36I've had an idea, but not yet tested, that scanning and then printing a reversed (enhanced/remastered) image on a laser printer might provide a way to transfer a new decal onto the surface. I've successfully transferred …
What Are You Working On Now
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 13, 2021 12:57I had a delivery today 🙂 Yes, I know they are white - nothing a bit of dye can't fix. The keypad is still really a prototype as all my home prints break the retaining tabs almost instantly when test fitting, they just d…

Beomaster 5500 blown power transistors
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 6, 2020 08:38I'll assume you have a mulitimeter with continuity testing... Put probes on each of the legs of your output transistors - if you get shorts (beeps) between legs, then you'll need to pull it out and replace most likely. F…
