in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 14, 2012 14:08Sorry, I didn't mean it like that...I think it is a great idea. Where do you source the velcro stuff? Thanks!

Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 13, 2012 21:51Just wanted to give a quick update on my progress: I put everything back together. Here a shot of the installed recapped crossover with terminals in the back. I put the terminal in a location covering the original cable …

Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 7, 2012 21:30Are you sure you read the second one correctly? Mine looked exactly like yours. From left to right (on your pic) I had 5uF, 12uF (25V), 75 uF, 25uF, 75uF. I replaced them with 4.7, 12, 68+6.8, 22+2.2, 68+6.8.
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 7, 2012 11:19The dent in the tube only goes about 3 mm down....do you think this is really a problem? Seems really hard "party operation" would be necessary to cause scraping...I tried to bend the dent back out, but the material is q…
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 6, 2012 23:54I thought I would post an update about my 3702 project: I basically followed Soren's advice. First I removed the old foams as good as I could and cut off the dust caps: The next step was to glue on the new foams (I used …

Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 21, 2012 22:33Got it. With regard to glue, is the sticky glue you mentioned "Aleene's Original Tacky Glue"? Seems there are a variety of Aleene's out there. On a different note, can you recommend a good source for the capacitors in th…
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 21, 2012 21:52The fog is lifting...;-) Thanks much for your great explanations! I am wondering about the 'shimming' procedure that you mentioned in Pepps' thread. Is the gap marked with the arrow where you shim with the plastic strips…
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 21, 2012 21:19Hi Soren, This starts sounding like an exciting little project!! I wondered about alignment immediately after realizing how sensitive the scraping is to the alignment of the cone! I went to the foam seller's ebay store. …
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 21, 2012 13:45I took the woofers out and cleaned them as good as I could. The loose remnants of the foams are gone. I tried to move the cones with the 'three finger method'. It seems I can move them without scraping. The orange dust c…
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 21, 2012 00:51O.k....maybe I still can upload pics...sorry for the confusion: I tried moving the cones again. It seems if I hold them very steady, I can move them a few mm without getting the scraping noise. The orange bellows below t…
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 20, 2012 23:41Hi Soren, The woofers are in really bad condition. There is significant scraping noise when trying to move the cones... with regard to posting pics, somehow all the relevant icons are gone on my mac/Safari/Firefox. I use…
Beovox 3702 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 20, 2012 21:59Hi All, I recently obtained a Beomaster 3000.2 and a pair of Beovox 3702. The beomaster and the speaker cabinets are in great shape, but the woofers are completely rotten. They make a scraping noise when moving the cones…
Can a BeoSound 9000 play CD-Rs?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 6, 2012 12:12So could one then postulate that playing a CD-R is a good test for the condition of a CD player? I have no experience with B&O CD players so far, since I focused on older vintages until now...On a general level, what do …
Can a BeoSound 9000 play CD-Rs?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 6, 2012 11:33Interesting! I asked this question since I recently had an encounter with a Beocenter 9500, and the CD-Rs I brought along for testing did not work, while the standard CDs did...bad capacitors??
Can a BeoSound 9000 play CD-Rs?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 5, 2012 17:55Hi All, I have a shot at buying a BeoSound 9000 (not sure which Mk version at this point) and I was wondering if all or which Mk-versions can play CD-R/CD-RWs? I remember that this was for some time an issue with CD play…
Beomaster 8000 Volume Control Damping Gone
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 15, 2011 14:05Hi All, Last night I realized that my Beomaster 8000's volume control suddenly started spinning as freely as the tuning scroll wheel. The previously present damping is all gone. One can now slightly accelerate the wheel …
