Beocenter 9300 doesn't answer to remote
in The Workbench · May 24, 2010 12:05Do you have any other B&O equipment to test the remote with? If not, you can test it if you have a digital camera. Point the camera at the transmitting end of the remote and watch the screen as you press a button on the …
Longest running speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 14, 2010 04:21ESS (Electrostatic sound systems) have been making their AMT 1 series speaker since around 1973. They had a break for the past couple of years, but they are now back in production again. I have a set of AMT 1C dating fro…

in For Sale · Mar 22, 2010 06:38Hi Cleve, Please put the rosewood 5000 to one side for me! I should be down in Exeter doing a job within the next couple of weeks, otherwise I don't mind paying for delivery. Ben
None functioning tuning meter and S lamps Beocenter 3500 / Beomaster 3000
in The Workbench · Mar 20, 2010 11:48Well, the fault was two different ones, The tuning meter problem was to do with the trimpots controlling the zero offset and gain. The one that controls the gain must have a bad area on the track, when adjusted outside t…
How to control non B&O TV with Beolink 1000
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2010 18:08I may be wrong, but I don't think you can. I use a Logitech Harmony 555 to control everything from one remote. Works well with all of my oddball equipment. Even works with my old Beosystem 5000, which only very few unive…
None functioning tuning meter and S lamps Beocenter 3500 / Beomaster 3000
in The Workbench · Mar 18, 2010 13:48I'm trying to figure out why neither the tuning meter or S lamps work in this Beocenter 3500 I have. Both transistor TR9 and TR16 on the IF board are good. I shorted the collecter and emmiter of TR9, and the lamps functi…
MX3500 + Beosat LM functionality
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2010 11:16Ok, I cracked it open to take a look. There are only three of the multiplugs occupied (red circles) and several with nothing connected, maybe 6 or 7 connectors. If there is only meant to be the three connectors in use, t…
MX3500 + Beosat LM functionality
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2010 03:15Thats what I was doing originally.... pressing the combinations of buttons to try to get the menu to show after I had already pressed Sat. Would the Sat button do nothing if the module was disconnected?
Restore finish on my Beomaster 3000-2 (slide rule Type 2402)
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 10, 2010 16:04No problem. I'd also recommend removing all of the wood trim from the chassis to do this - don't do it with the unit assembled. As for the sanding... you probably don't need to do it if your wood is smooth already. I jus…
MX3500 + Beosat LM functionality
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 10, 2010 15:52It sounds like it's been disconnected then... All as I get is a black screen when pressing sat. The technical notes would be nice, thanks. Is it just a case of plugging it back in? Ben
Restore finish on my Beomaster 3000-2 (slide rule Type 2402)
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 9, 2010 13:36I recently revived the teak wood veneer on my Beocenter 3500, which was looking a little tired. I used some 400 grit sandpaper and very lightly sanded in the direction of the grain, avoiding sanding too much in one place…
MX3500 + Beosat LM functionality
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 9, 2010 13:18I know its old and obsolete.... but how do I access the satellite functions in an MX3500 fitted with what I assume to be a Beosat LM? I tried Sat, Shift then Text as stated in the LM user manual Tried Sat then Go To as s…
Beocenter 3500 / Beomaster 3000 Idle current trim pot
in The Workbench · Mar 9, 2010 06:51I'll bare that in mind if I can't get the 200 ohm trimmers to set the idle correctly. How about a belt for the 3500's turntable?
Connecting Penta MK3 to a Beovox Penta
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 9, 2010 05:47You'll need a suitable power amplifier - Beolab 200 would be perfect, but rare. A power amplifier from another manufacturer would work, but would need a cable made / purchased to connect to the powerlink sockets on your …

Beocenter 3500 / Beomaster 3000 Idle current trim pot
in The Workbench · Mar 6, 2010 13:34I've been given a Beocenter 3500 that i'm trying to get working as it should. Someone's been in there before and replaced the idle current trimpot for the right channel with one of completely the wrong value, and hence t…
Beogram failing to "see" records
in BeoGram · Dec 2, 2009 05:23Well it turns out that an LED will work! Installed a 5mm ultra bright led yesterday, and the electronics side of the deck all work great. The 5mm LED was very tight to fit, I had to shave down the flange at the end, so t…
Beogram failing to "see" records
in BeoGram · Nov 30, 2009 15:58Thanks for that... it seems as if 6V 30ma are available from my sources, so i'll try that. I think I may have some ultrabright white LED's that I could try first though, then I don't have to worry about failure. Anybody …
