in eBay - the right way! · Apr 16, 2021 22:23I purchased a pretty complete set of 5000-series components about 5 years ago and did some basic refurbishment - new belts in the Beocord 5000 cassette, changed a few capacitors in the Beogram CD 5500, etc., with the eye…
Newbie - Beosystem 5000 reconditioning
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 19, 2015 15:48Hi Darren, I solved my issue simply by cleaning the heat sinks and re-terminating my speaker wires with new plugs, insuring no stray strands were shorting. There are so many possible causes, it's difficult to say what mi…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 2, 2013 23:11If anyone is still following this thread, I'm happy to report multiple successes thanks to Beoworld! I haven't done anything like this in 10+ years - I forgot how much fun a guy can have with a soldering iron and a T10 T…
