False bidding
in eBay - the right way! · Oct 21, 2010 06:06I don't know if this has been covered before but I was curious about members thoughts and experiences with what I believe is officially known as "shill bidding", ie friends and family of the seller placing false bids to …
S45 speakers for my 1983 5000 music centre
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 21, 2010 05:24Just finished re foaming a pair of S45's myself, some achievment for someone born with 10 thumbs, and all of them left handed! Not too high on the 'degree of difficulty' ladder I'll admit however I personally find it ver…
Forget the spare room...
in eBay - the right way! · Oct 21, 2010 05:17Seeing that collection again begs the question I frequently ask myself, whatever happens to all the speakers? If its safe to assume that pretty much every system is sold with at least one pair, and I do realise that ther…
4002 worth repairing/restoring?
in BeoGram · Oct 15, 2010 08:01I must admit that I haven't previously seen other such weather beaten examples in Australia, these items are an exception thankfully. Pretty much everything else I've acquired since moving here has been lovingly looked a…

4002 worth repairing/restoring?
in BeoGram · Oct 14, 2010 23:29Probably should add at least one picture of the Beogram just to complete the rogue's gallery!
4002 worth repairing/restoring?

4002 worth repairing/restoring?
in BeoGram · Oct 14, 2010 23:18Why do some people never appreciate what they have? Granted this turntable was originally purchased new in the UK and found its way to Australia via Pakistan and Iraq according to the original owner but dear oh dear, loo…
Cartridge repair
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 14, 2010 22:33It seems often these days that we receive poor or shonky service however today my cartridges arrived back from Axel and after testing them I was so impressed with his work that I felt it shouldn't go unrecognised on the …
Beocenter 9300 cd fault
in The Workbench · Sept 30, 2010 07:23Thanks Martin, now you're talking my language. Pliers, grab, pull and twist! I thought there may be a more 'technical' way! I should have mentioned that I'm a mechanical engineer so that part of the job should be simple …
Beocenter 9300 cd fault
in The Workbench · Sept 30, 2010 04:41Thanks again guys. You are correct in that the two large capacitors are deformed (bulging). It was the first thing I noticed when I opened up the unit. Replacing the capacitors shouldn't present me with too many challeng…
Rosewood but which type?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 30, 2010 04:31Thanks Dave, nice pictures on the link. They capture the different colours beautifully and I reckon I've got something in just about each of the four shades and grains from my S55's which are close to red to a pair of S4…
Rosewood but which type?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 29, 2010 21:57Thanks Guys, I've sent a couple of cartridges to Axel for refurbishment, one of which is going on to the Beogram once it is cosmetically restored. I know that it will never have any huge monetary value but unlike most mo…
Rosewood but which type?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 28, 2010 21:12I am going to replace the veneer on a beogram I'm restoring but not being much of a 'wood butcher' myself I am curious if anyone knew what variety of rosewood B&O used in the past. It was only when I 'googled' rosewood t…

Beocenter 9300 cd fault
in The Workbench · Sept 28, 2010 20:34Hi Menahem, I have attached a photo of the board in my 9300, Martin thought it may have been replaced at some time in the past as it was a recent type. Be interested to know what is fitted to the one you get in. Regards,…
Beocenter 9300 cd fault
in The Workbench · Sept 15, 2010 22:30[quote user="Clive"] The cd doesn't spin after accepting a disk and the door then reopens. I've tried a very light clean of the laser lens to no avail. Are there any common faults or simple checks I could do with a meter…

Hello to everyone and of course the obligatory first question!
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 7, 2010 09:36Thanks for the pointer and from reading the thread and my own observations it appears that my 9300 which has the linear, ie straight track for the laser, does not have the capacitor C2103 on the board under the mechanism…
