bang & olufsen type k hojttaler speakers
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 20, 2012 12:43These speakers, along with the 5000, tend not to go for all that much. The shipping costs and risk of transit damage, do not help but i think it is more to do with the large size of them in the average modern home. Perha…
bang & olufsen type k hojttaler speakers
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 18, 2012 20:53Yes, I would go for a pallet. I can't recall if the legs screw off, but if they do I would recommend doing so prior to shipping. Takes quite a lot of work to restore them if anything is wrong - the capacitors are usually…
Vintage, you say...
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 4, 2012 20:17My remote at the time was far more reliable and didn't need strange sized batteries that cost a fortune and only lasted a few weeks. It was a broom handle with end pared down to fit the buttons, it did have some range li…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 4, 2012 17:53I hadn't been on this thread, totally forgot about the prize draw to be honest I tend to stick to the spares and repairs forums. Anyways, jolly nice keyring - I've always wanted one, cheers.

Workbench tools
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 1, 2012 14:54Looks like 20MHz scopes are very cheap at the moment and I have spotted one pretty close by for not very much at all.I'll maybe more on to something else when I reach its limitations - which will not be for a while yet. …
Workbench tools
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 29, 2012 21:01Hmm, not familiar with the term 'dim bulb tester' at all, I'd just use an inline ammeter and a variac. I do expect to be looking at pretty much everything up to RF. I'm used to repairing videos, I don't expect to be taki…

Workbench tools
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 28, 2012 16:18I've been out of the repair game for some time now, so I'm out of date with the sort of stuff I need to start up again. Last time I used a dual 40MHz scope, some generic function genny, and the usual hand tools - I don't…
Beomaster 4400 Value

The best vintage system
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 3, 2012 18:01Seems odd that the 5000 system has more and better options for connectivity than the others, since it was the first. If you are going to stay with the correct speakers, then you end up with either the 8000 or 7000, since…
