Beomaster 6000 4channel Lamp Replacement

[Megan Henderson]

Hey everyone! I’m working on cleaning up a beomaster 6000 4channel and if got everything working but I can’t seem to figure out how to change the bulbs. I know I have to solder them in there but I can’t seem to figure out how to get to them. This is where I’m at currently and I got a bulb kit from danish sound parts. Please help!

Hi

Are you changing out all the lamps on the machine or just those that have failed? Some lamps are fitted into an enclosed plastic compartment, others are not. You will need to open the unit up to access all lamps…..check out the service manual available here for a better idea, be sure to replace the lamps according to the description provided by the supplier, the current ratings differ from location to location…….enjoy 👍

Well I was planning to do all of them since I was already in there but I should probably just stick to the ones that failed for now! Attaching a photo of the ones I know need swapping out. I can see the bulbs and I have the correct ones ready to replace I just have no idea how to get fo them because they are in little plastic casings

Ok

you will need to lift the indicator ribbon display section up into the vertical position to access the lamps….2 screws as I recall, these lamps are connected in three series loops I think…so if one goes down you loose 2 or 3 lamps….its been a couple of years since I changed any. As a silver member you can access the service manual for this machine under products in here, this details how to open it up…..unfortunately im windsurfing off the coast of Greece until Sunday….if no one chips in with more help I will open a machine up and send some pictures to guide you next Monday when I return to the UK

Ah wonderful thank you so much! Wasn’t sure if I’d need to lift that up or not. I had only found the manual that shows what all the things on the boards were and it scared me off so I’ll have to keep looking haha have fun windsurfing! How fun!

[hcraig244]

Just had a look in the manual myself and your correct it doesn’t detail the disassembly, I thought it did…..not to worry, is the amplifier fully functional right now apart from the lamps? It’s good to know that anything that stops working after you do anything in there is a result of what you have done which often makes it easier to correct 👍

[Megan Henderson]

Yeah it’s working great other than the lamps! I had gone in and fixed a few other things so this is the last thing I need to do and it’s working great as of now so I’ll know if it messes up anything haha

Excellent…..these amplifiers are getting rather rare these days and need to be looked after, amazing pieces of engineering…..

the lamps are pushed into the holders and will only require soldering if a wire pops off during the replacement o a lamp, they can be quite tight after all these years so care is needed. the holders are pushed onto a tab that holds them in place…

The lamps on the bottom will probably be easier to replace with the panel flat with the exception of the one on the far left which is mounted very close to the ribbon, these ribbons are very delicate and can be damaged easily….avoid if possible ;¬)

To lift the panel into the vertical position there are two screws located at each side, these screws sit between two other screws located above and below the ones you need to undo, the other two are used to raise or lower the panel and wont need to be touched….the right hand side screw sitting in the middle can be seen here…dont touch the upper or lower ones

the left hand side is the same….not as good a picture but you can see whats required…..remove these two screws and the panel can be lifted into the vertical position….this will make it easier to replace the top lamps

I have left the machine opened up in case there is anything else you need……good luck
