Software for single chip computers etc. contained within products.
in BeoCenter · Jul 15, 2025 20:26I agree with artig that the service manual is a great resource for fitting an alternative CPU. I did a project some time ago replacing the CPU in a Beomaster 6000 Type 2253(?). The project was Arduino based. It was a fun…

What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 24, 2025 21:55I just stumbled across the Beosystem 4000 Masur Birch. https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us/story/atelier-editions-beosystem-4000c-masur-birch I have to say that I like all of the Multicare sample colors above better than …
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 16, 2025 15:02Perhaps I misunderstood your original post... Are the turntables in the pictures planned products or samples for a service to provide bespoke turntables? Either way, I'm curious about how you created the gold "rays" on t…

Beomaster 6000 volumen goes down
in BeoMaster · Mar 16, 2025 15:27Going from memory so I might be off a bit... Check the wire connections between board 5 and 6 for cracked solder joints. Adjust the volume control trim pots on board 6 per the service manual. Clean or replace any trim po…
Question About Beogram 8002 Recapping
in BeoGram · Mar 14, 2025 14:58It is good to hear that you are making progress. Have you hooked up an oscilloscope to the display strobe pins (13-16)? If so, what are they doing? The strobe signals are usually a good place to check for signs of life i…
Free B&O gear
in North America · Mar 3, 2025 16:42That is a very generous offer. I might be interested in them. I'm a sucker for fixing up orphaned electronics and re-homing them. Sometimes I pass it on to a friend or acquaintance, for free or for the cost of parts, oth…
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 28, 2025 17:50Looks nice so far. Have you considered making the glass/plywood piece out of granite? A countertop shop might be able to do this at a reasonable price using off-cuts. Just a thought... Glitch

S45-2 Woofer Problem
in BeoVox · Feb 26, 2025 20:00Looking good. Can you provide more detail about how you softened the glue on the dustcaps? Is the pot part of the process or just a convenient holder for the cone? Glitch
Pile of MCL equipment
in BeoLink · Jan 14, 2025 17:28Thanks for the explanations. They make sense to me. Madskp wrote: I think it is actually a 2.5mm jack and probably only with two pins (I will look further into that). I do no have that much knowledge about IR emitters, i…
Pile of MCL equipment
in BeoLink · Jan 13, 2025 23:45I hope that I'm not hijacking your thread. If so, I'll "cease and desist" and maybe start a new thread. I was vaguely aware of the ability of using the MCL82-2041 with the Beomaster 8000, and also the Beomaster 6000 of t…
Pile of MCL equipment
in BeoLink · Jan 13, 2025 18:12I got this as a part of a bundle of other B&O stuff. I hadn't given it much thought until I saw this thread. It appears to be unused since the display still has the protective film attached. I don't think the original ow…
Looking for a Beogram CD 5500 replacement part
in BeoGram · Jan 12, 2025 23:32I recall seeing a post where the person built a new suspension out of generic parts. You may be able to find it by searching both the current and the older forums. Glitch

Beogram: Dust covers on or off during when playing
in BeoGram · Jan 10, 2025 01:05It is important to distinguish between "different" and "perceptibly different". Pretty much any time one makes a change, it will be "different". This even includes items that were meant to be the same. It was not surpris…
