Beolab 5000 (60:th), 2N3055 in the power supply breaks when speaker is connected
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 1, 2021 11:09 GMT

When I come across a blown 2N3055, I usually replace it with a KD503 (essentially the eastern bloc variant of the 2N3055). Haven't had any issues so far. You can easily find surplus from the 80s in big quantities, and th…

Nimm einfach die gleiche Dicke - dickeres lässt sich schwieriger auffädeln und hat keine wirklichen Vorteile. Wenn die Teile nicht gerade schwergängig sind oder sich sonst was verklemmt hält das ewig, egal wie ***.

[quote user="Orava"] Ah, ok. So it doesnt need any violence? [/quote] It does...you need to pull off the the pulley on top first. That will need some force (I'm pretty sure the one on yours doesn't have a grub screw).

Maybe it's finally time for that oil change everyone's always bragging about. 😂 (No, there's still no speed limit over here. 😕 Can't wait to get the Turbo out next summer.)

New belts are in. Some things still don't work properly, but the music sounds great. Might be because I don't understand anything they're singing. 😁
