Beolab 6000 preventive maintenence?

[Madskp]

Just got at pair of Beolab 6000 in fair condition. They do sound good also at high volume level. So far so good.

But I have read about dampening material that disintegrates and destroy the PCB. Is that a known issue for BL6000, and if so is it only for certain serial numbers?

other things to look after if I open them up?

thanks in advance

I’ve read «about dampening material that disintegrates and destroy the PCB» only in the context of BL8000 Mk1 & a range of Mk2.  Never about BL6000.

Our BL6000 are now 27 year-olds, still as beautiful as the day we bought them in preparation for our wedding and first home.  At some point circa 2010, one of them started making a disagreeable reverb.  I sent both BL6000s to the Sound Smith here in the US and he replaced the cardboard speakers, if I recall correctly.

No issues since.
