Beolit 600 - No Reception Below 95MHz
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 21, 2017 23:46UPDATE!! OK so I thought I would take a look inside the tuning module... I removed both covers and checked the solder joints which all looked nice & bright. Then I tapped around - and when I tapped the tuning cap some cr…
Beolit 600 - No Reception Below 95MHz
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 21, 2017 22:34Hi Nick Thanks for the reply! OK I tried it with a mains adaptor - no change. So I checked the voltages. There isn't a dark blue wire going into the tuner module - but there is a violet wire - no voltage on that. However…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 14, 2017 23:54OK so the output transistors arrived - I also ordered a replacement 1000uF /10V cap as it was reading a fair way beyond its tolerance. Popped them in and it sprung into life! The output is very loud and clear. The volume…
Beolit 600 - Distorted Audio
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 10, 2017 00:36Thanks Martin 🙂 On investigation I found the leads to both output transistors were corroded - so much in the case of the AC117 that they just broke away from the base of the transistor on touch. So I need to order these…
Beolit 600 - Distorted Audio
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 9, 2017 20:26Hi all! I just bought a Beolit 600 in superficially good condition! However the audio output isn't what it should be. The output is distorted if you raise the volume control above 2 - and becomes increasingly distorted w…
