I have a set of Beolab 5’s which were both repaired (with refurbished main chassis) in December 2021. ย One of these now has again a defect, it picks up AM noise on the tweeter only. ย Currently the main chassis replacement has doubled in price compared to 3 years ago and delivery times are apparently more than 6 months. Combine that with a good chance a board will fail again soon (they are filled with Elco’s) I am reluctant to go the official route again.
My B&O dealer gave me a modest trade inn value on 28’s and a very good trade in value on 50’s, in fact that was more than the price I paid new for the 5’s. But even with that trade in value I still have to pay 40k Euro for a set of 50’s and that is beyond the divorce amount. ย So, maybe I can repair them myself?
Edit:
The PCB6,ย B&O โ Beolab 5 Ice system1 has a failure and it is available online at kosetrading for 650 Euro. But the failure is probably a small smd component costing less than 1 euro.
is there anyone who can help me repair them?
any help is appreciated,
thanks,
Eric.
