Beolab 5000 repair

6 replies

Hi all,

My restoration project - a water damaged beolab 5000 amplifier has run into a small snag. I need to source some replacement transistors, from the powersupply section.

1 x 40349V1 or equivalent

2 x SE8002 or equivalent

1 x SE7001 or equivalent

Also, I need to find some replacement output coupling capacitors 3000uF 50V in a similar size to the originals.

If anyone can point me in  the right direction for these parts, I would be delighted! Thank you.

 

 

I am sure Martin will come along with a recomended match but in the meantime try this site...

Also Mouser or digi-key for components although usually worth a large order to get free postage. as far as capacitors you will more likely struggle with 3000 but 3300 should be fine..

Thanks for the info. The 40349V1 is an high voltage transistor with integrated heatsink, I'd prefer to find an original or similar device to keep the board looking tidy.

The other SE metal can transistors are pretty generic, it just the 40349V1 which is proving hard to replace.

 

I will probably be able to find suitable replacements but why not ask Frede (Classic),  he has
serviced far more of these than I and I'm sure that he knows exactly what to fit where.
He may even sit with correct original parts.

Thanks Martin. I'll contact Frede and see if he can assist...

I have sent you an email
