in BeoMaster · Dec 28, 2024 23:52I have Beomaster 1000 (Type 2301) that after some months of use I've finally got round to recapping. I'd also like to check and set the bias current but am scratching my head slightly. The service manual instructions are…

Beomaster 1000 - white key - replacement transformer ?
in BeoMaster · Oct 12, 2024 20:46PS When I received the receiver it had its transformer wired for 220v. The receiver coped with that even though that means it must have been pumping out approx. 2v above the 29.5v it is now. I swapped the connection poin…
