Sold as fully functionalโฆโฆ.however I think a bit of cleaning (quite a bit actually) and replacing of dried out capacitors will be required before power is connected, some replacement veneer too Iโm thinking
Making a start on โthe low hanging fruitโ,
to quote a project manager I once worked with. A friend of mine spent some time cleaning up the curser. Interestingly this piece isnโt anodised like the face plate, which is probably why it oxidised so badly, Iโm told that one can determine if something has been anodised by the use of a multimeter set to ohmsโฆโฆif something is anodised it wont conduct?โฆ.I will test this. New felt pads will be included too.made a start on the cabinet top, was in a bit of a mess so re shaped the smashed corners ready for veneeringโฆ..
Iโve decided on this african iroko veneerโฆ..will need to stain it in order to darken it down to match the Beogram 5000 it will be paired with
This is a slow and painstaking exercise requiring a lot of sanding and swearingโฆโฆ.cant hurry the glue drying process eitherโฆ.
Ohโฆ..and this has arrived from Fredeโฆโฆsuch excellent work, was a little miffed at having to pay import duty on it now that we are free from the EU ;ยฌ)
Cabinet top veneer finished, shame to stain it actuallyโฆ.I quite like the iroko wood grain, but will have to match the Beolab or it will look odd.
This was interestingโฆ.on removing the front panel for shipping to Frede I discovered a wad of folded paper wedged between the panel and the chassisโฆโฆ..cant imagine what it was doing there?
disconnected and removed the tuning meter, front lens is a little cloudy from too much UV and some debris has got between the two halfs of the assemblyโฆ.making it look unkept. Cant do a lot about the cloudy lensโฆI have tried in the past to no availโฆ.but I can clean away the debrisโฆโฆ..
Finished with the replacement of trimmers and capacitors, all except the channel seperation trimmerโฆthought I would wait until the unit is up and running before playing around with a replacement for that one.
