Hi and a Happy New Year!
As it is my first post in this forum I'd like to share my good mood because of finishing my work on my "found in the rubbish for free" Beocenter 1800.
Turntable motor wasn't running, some small but easy to find broken wireing issues and finally a not working speed selector.
But as of this afternoon everything is fixed and tested. And after a friend of mine told me his parents wanted to get rid of their Penta 3s - it even sounds more than wonderful!
On the first step I thought everything should stay original, but I couldn't help pimping the wiring a bit: Additional to the DIN jack it now has stereo Chinch jacks IN and OUT - even they are working perfect.
Maybe for the next step I'll try to revive my Sony D-99 Discman ;-)
Greetings
Sidi

My 3rd pair Penta's refurbished with new cloths and a selfmade perspex cover and stainless steel mirror panels (yes, again) for the amps.
For this I had to make something.🤔 Why not using a halogen lamp from a copy machine to do the bending of the perspex.😁
ingenious Leslie. Beats a heat gun
Hi Eugen, long time🙂
Good job Leslie, I use to heat an iron tube, shaft or flat iron, depending on the bend type, but your idea is exelent, 🤔 must check in the shack, there must be an old copier somewhere.
