Thanks Keith – my original text follows …
I thought that I would re-start this thread on the ‘new’ forum, if only to do a quick test of posting photos ?
I recently got hold of a DVD1, which I presume is the more recent Type 4621. Although there is no B&O label on the back, the rear socket layout matches the manual for the 4621 so that’s good enough for me. Anyway, on testing it played very well but occasionally there was a slight resonant (plastic) vibration. I opening it up and noticed a missing screw in the front of the tray mechanism.
Keith has added the photo to the first post (after my photo uploading problems)- you can just see the missing screw hole in the mount nearest the camera. I think it was missing from new, as the mounts internal thread had either stripped or slipped down. I found some slightly longer TX10 M3 x 10mm screws and this tightened fine. No more vibration ?
As a test, I will try to upload a photo of the screws that I purchased.
(No – still didn’t work, and I tried both drag/drop and from file manager!)

Finishing off my earlier post with a quick photo of the TX10 M3 screws that I purchased to fix the DVD1 . I got the screws from ‘BoltBase’ on Amazon – a very quick delivery.
And the picture uploaded fine – thanks Keith! ?

Hopefully fixing a Beocom 6000. The call answer and ‘C’ keys were only working intermittently, and then the phone would randomly shut down. I tried a new battery and a handset reset but to no avail.
Anyway, I have just taken the phone to pieces and reversed the little contact strip between the keyboard and PCB (it’s a bit like the screen connector in the Beo4) and now it all seems to be working!
Although I have spare BC6000s somewhere I needed to fix this one because it’s a Mk1 that has had the upgrade to a Mk2, hence has the right pins to charge correctly on my mk 1 pyramid base PSTN.

I’m refurbishing a pair of Beovox RL 60.2 – one of them had 3 pieces of moulding inside that were broken. They usually hold the screw, so trying to unscrew them would just turn the screw as if the thread was stripped… Fun! Fixed with polyurethane which was what I had available then and I recovered with a new fabric. I have the second one to do now…
I also have a Beomaster 8000 next, but with a hot right heatsink so I’m not in a hurry to get at it. Although I did crack it open to see its state and it doesn’t seem too bad overall.
Then a beogram 2000 low on my priorities, since I’ll need to purchase a cartridge to test further…
I’m back in the US for a little while so I’m trying to sort out one of my other previous acquisitions, BL Penta MK2. They need the full overhaul so I bought all 3 cap kits and new foam surrounds. These will be the main L/R channels in the master bedroom and the basis of a surround system (eventually!).

Looking forward to seeing/reading some more on this project.
I know this post is from March, but I have to ask what the issue with that DVD1 is? I have one I got for next to nothing as it is broken but in beautiful cosmetic condition. When loading a disc it just states reading and never starts playing. Is there a common repair for this? I have heard that the DVD1 was kind of junk from the beginning but it would be great to get it going again if its simple. Disc spins and everything looks alright inside but it just wont play!
If your referring to my post in March then the only problem was a slight vibration when playing the disc. Replacement of the screw fixed it.
Perhaps the laser/lens needs cleaning on your DVD1. I have never tried this but it sometimes cures similar faults with CD players.
Alternatively, have a look through the two archived Forums to see if anyone had a similar fault. Be aware that there are two visually-similar models of DVD1: The Mk1 was type number 4620, and the Mk2 was 4621 – the type number is written on the product label on the rear. The latter model is supposed to be better, but I have never had a problem with either.
