Beomaster 8000 on UK eBay
in eBay - the right way! · Aug 19, 2013 11:57Cheers for the positive remarks folks! I was a little disappointed it stopped at 500, when I consider the hours I have put into the thing, and what I purchased it for in the first place; I am probably about break-even. H…
Beogram- copper wire cut from tone arm

Beomaster 8000 Channel distortion (SOLVED)

Beogram 1202/3000 silent contacts

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 23, 2013 10:15I have a 5000 on the side right now, just waiting for a go ahead or not. I love these decks! I wonder if we could look into an anti-chew mod? Will have a look at this...
Which Beomaster 6000 - mid70ties or mid 80ties model ???
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 22, 2013 12:59Actually that is fair Soren, the 6000 probably not as controlled at higher volumes, but again, need a double blind test and similar conditions to see how much difference there really is, the last 6000 I did sounded super…

What Are You Working On Now
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 21, 2013 17:16Just occasionally (actually quite rare) you find that the servo motors in Beogram 400x players has a short, and has taken out the H bridge, as I have found with the latest example on my bench. The Leaf brushes are very d…
