Beomaster 5000 front panel.
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 4, 2020 09:53Hi, I am in the process of restoring a Beomaster 5000 (stacking system 80s version), the unit works aside from the front "open" and "power/pause/mute" button. When I got the unit the front panel was actually detached so …
Beolab Penta
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 22, 2019 15:14I don't think the beomaster/center is at fault as one speaker works perfectly well in both outputs on the 8500, so hopefully eliminated that as a problem. It is almost as if the connector going into the amp is making con…

Beovox M75 and other cabinet restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 29, 2019 15:07I acquired these speakers and unfortunately they have some damage to their corners. Has anyone attempted such a repair and how badly does it diminish the value of the speakers. (all other things in good shape aside from …
Beomaster 8000 Complete System w/ MS 150
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 8, 2018 09:24Thats really funny you should say that, when I went to collect the MS150s that Llew had set aside for me, my girlfriend was NOT happy, it was only when I had restored the drivers and she listened to them... She then unde…
Beocord 8000 repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 2, 2017 11:12Hi Martin, That's great, hopefully all else is okay as the mechanism moved freely and I only replaced the belts. Yes it takes up around a 1/4 turn I would estimate however the head contacts the tape for literally a fract…
Beocord 8000 repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 2, 2017 09:12I pushed the switch (the light comes on and stays on solid, and without a tape in there it does nothing so I imagine this switch is okay?)... the same behavior is observed when I manually push the switch and try to play …

Beocord 8000 repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 1, 2017 14:51Thanks, I will have a look at this carefully! I don't think I bent anything there but it is possible whilst the transport was upside down. I did place it on a flannel to try to protect it everything. Would it likely be b…
Beocord 8000 repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 1, 2017 13:33Did you ever manage to repair this, I have a beocord 8004, it engages and disengages several times before eventually engaging, once engaged it works fine and will play the whole side of the tape. Same thing if you try to…

Beocenter 9000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 19, 2016 09:32We recently acquired a beocenter 9000. We were going to harvest it for parts for another beocenter as we were assumed it was in poor condition (poor images on ebay, listed as broken, images showed lower glass panel missi…
