What are you working on now?

The benefit I now have is that my high frequency hearing doesn’t really go much over 10KHz so even pretty poor speakers sound not bad! The advantages of age!

Since I finally got around to solve the issue with my Beomaster 7000 not turning on the amplifier section (TR19 was defective), I thought I would continue a little TLC for my Beogram CD7000. I carried out the mechanical adjustments in the service manual as I thought the drive was slightly noisy with some CDs making a whirring sound. That seems to be gone now. Next up was reconfiguring the transformer from 220V to 240V. The hardest part was to get the damn plastic protection cover off. It takes quite a bit of persuasion while pulling outwards at the front and trying to slide it back at the same time. After that I unscrewed the transformer and looked at it. After a short while, I figured out that the jumper needed to be desoldered, moved and then soldered back in the new position. Quite easy. I believe the benefits are that the unit should not heat up as much as before and perhaps also stress components less. That completed the restoration of the Beogram CD7000 that I had previously recapped and changed C2103 in.

My Playmaker let out the magic dmoke one day. Turned out it was one of the filter caps in the power supply that exploded

It smelled a lot like smoke and the smell was not gone before a week. I can still smell something inside it.

Today I replaced both filter caps snd it looks like it is running again
