Well, I think you sell yourself short.

What you think you may be lacking in electronic ability, you more than make up for in design and cosmetic restoration ability!

Shalom Menahem, that's as a great compliment hearing it from you. As said earlier, if I had the capability to do electronic repairs as well, wow! My mind is full of ideas restoring B&O equipment especially for the mirror & glass panels.

You did it again Leslie, but now please get the cubes of the BM before they make marks, I'm scared to death.😂

Negociating with Leslie for a vintage set for my son, he is now in DK studying, maybe my name brother from Esbjerg has something for him, or Friedmet or or. Not working on anything waiting for spares from Martin and Mouser, and  some 8 pin din chassis mount from England to make a distributer with 5 V trigger for power link, to have the virus and live in Mex sometimes stretch your patience, planning to go to TX in November to pick up speakers and small items.

THAT IS AMAZING!!!! Boy do you work fast!

I have to admit, I am head over heels for that white 3000. So sharp, Leslie.

I wish I could be doing my audio refurb along with you guys (I have so much to doooo!!!!), but I am very short on time these days. I am in the middle of re-doing one of my spaces and as a result, my vintage Beo is piled up in a corner. I am buying new lighting tomorrow - maybe. 😂

Refitted the glass panels (thanks Graham (joeyboygolf) for the missing plastic frame) and restrung the CD door - definately NOT a job for the feint hearted

@Chris or others. I also managed to restring both CD and Cassette doors. Took me a whole day to find out which was the best way to do it. I completely took of the top part in order to have good access to do the restring job. Now "I did it" but still an issue on the CD door. It does not open smoothly but with hick-ups and it stucks half way unless I give it a helping hand. I'm sure I did it the right way (restring) and the drawing in the service manual tells you exactly how to do it! Could it be the belt that needs to be replaced? Looks good to me though.

New belts are definitely in order. Try Martin first.

I would always replace belts before restringing.

Well, in this case I had to restring cause the "rope" came of😡 But it's a good excersise just like restringing the Ouverture and look a likes.

Will get in touch with Martin, thanks Menahem and Shalom! Btw, I got some customers today from Israel (ORL refinery). Very nice people🙂

Hello,

just finished recaping BM6500 white and CD6500 white with new Low ESR Panasonic caps. CD updated with new Opamps OPA2604. Sounds superb! Then I started to rebuild defected tape 6500 (also white).

Regards

Panasonic - good.

Low-ESR in audio section - good (can be harsh), but prefer Nichicon KT audio.

Low-ESR in power section - not good - causes stress on transformer, and may oscillate some Pi circuits, causing semiconductor breakdown.

Low-ESR in power circuits is good only in SMPS - Switch-Mode Power Supplies, which this vintage B&O is NOT!

For this power section - Nichicon HE, or Panasonic FC, but definitely not Panasonic FM!!!
