    I have nine, among which four B&O.  Selling one of them will only bring regrets later on. Keep them all! ?

    1. I bought a mint white 4002 12 years ago for € 50. Nobody wanted them back then.

    How things change! Today’s prices are becoming ludicrous. What I could afford in the past is unattainable now.

    So you got yourself a clear bargain. I just hope you’ll keep it and not sell it. Sometimes I help people (free advice) repair their ‘precious’ hi-fi devices, only to see them later on local ads for a huge asking price. That makes me cross. Anyway, I digress, I’ll stop ranting.

    Enjoy your great deck!

    I’m happy I started my B&O collection in the late noughties.

    I had mine done 10 years ago I must say, by a good fellow of this forum. But yes it’s a beautiful unit. Well done then ?

    Enjoy your MC120 “Pespective”. Did you have to clean the protection contacts?

    I have them attached to a Beomaster 8000.

    Hi,

    That reminds me of my own Beogram adventures, some 12 odd years back! ?
    Well done, with John’s invaluable help, but as we always said: pictures or it didn’t happen ?

    A tradition here was to post plenty of restoration pictures, which was always really helpful.

    Hi everyone!

    My prize is now with me, after a fairly complicated shipping process, probably because of the Royal Mail cyberattack.

    It’s a lovely Beosound 6 with matching headphones and all boxed, with original accessories – yes, even the CD – that are a superb addition to my beocollection.

    Thanks Lee ?

    Hi Lee,

    A tough one. We were all afraid this day would eventually come. Here it is.

    I became a Gold Member mainly because I wanted to be part of the B&O community and because I needed the service manuals. I still do!

    Then, providing help to other members has been a joy too, although these days, I have too much to do to do so on a regular basis.

    Like Evan, B&O and Beoworld are part of what I am now. The now proverbial beovirus we invented here is real. There is no cure.

    The Prize Draw has of course always been a welcome bonus, which I was lucky enough to win three times over the years.

    I’ll continue to pay my fee, whatever you decide,  and two draws a year suits me just fine, if you can cover the expense with what we pay for the subscription.

    So thank you Lee and Keith (and Steve).

    Jacques aka Chartz since 2009, not going anywhere.

    Hi, and welcome!

    How do you know that it should need a new laser unit? Who told you?

    Perhaps the laser is fine and it just needs a re-cap of the servo board.

    Hi,

    Just saying but a Variac or a bulb don’t make much sense if you know what you’re doing. I’ve never used one in my 40 years of electronics.

    Good luck with the repair.

    Hi Roger,

    It does get hot but not burning hot. Are you sure it runs smoothly (lubrication) and that you have the correct speed right away? Did you have to increase pitch adjustment to its end stop? Do you have the original belt?

    Oh, nothing of the sort – this was sort of an ironical post because we’ve all known the good man behind this project for a very, very long time, that’s all!

    Thanks but I think everyone here has known this (superb) shop for quite some time, and even before it even came into existence ☺️
