Removed the link and cleaned up the fuseholder…new fuses installed. Gingerly applied power from the variac up to 220v……and nothing happened, not necessarily a bad thing…there was no smoke or sudden popping of new fuses…..so a little fault finding exercise required….as for now a glass of wine is called for

[hcraig244]

Thought I would check the fuses out too before powering up…..this is what I found.

Finished with the replacement of trimmers and capacitors, all except the channel seperation trimmer…thought I would wait until the unit is up and running before playing around with a replacement for that one.

[hcraig244]

And made a start on the trimers……

New feet arrived in the post…….drilled the old ones out and fixed these with bolts.

As I recall I replaced the zener diode 2D9 and the problem pesisted, I then replaced the two diodes 2D10 and 2D8 and still had an issue, I put off replacing the zener diode 0D2 because it was difficult to get at….its hidden away off PCB2 and bracketed against the front end shield box PC1, eventually I had no choice but to do so….and that solved the problem, I cant remember if I replaced 2TR8 or not….the post will be somewhere in the archived forum 2012-2022 along with pictures if you care to try and track it down…..it may help, I would recommend changing 2TR8 seeing as your going to replace the diodes…….good luck I have had lots of fun with the 6000 type 2702 amps.

Quality…….

[hcraig244]

Not perfect…..but I’m happy with the result…..

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 assembly….making it look unkept. Cant do a lot about the cloudy lens…I have tried in the past to no avail….but I can clean away the debris……..

This was interesting….on removing the front panel for shipping to Frede I discovered a wad of folded paper wedged between the panel and the chassis……..cant imagine what it was doing there?

[hcraig244]

And I have now discovered the basis for the “restored by seller” claim on ebay……

[hcraig244]

This is what was living beneath the bottom cover…….

[hcraig244]

Side panels have also had a clean up and a coat of primer applied…..

Cabinet top veneer finished, shame to stain it actually….I quite like the iroko wood grain, but will have to match the Beolab or it will look odd.

[hcraig244]

I can see and click on the links to the pictures in my archived threads……I think they are all there?

[hcraig244]

Oh…..and this has arrived from Frede……such excellent work, was a little miffed at having to pay import duty on it now that we are free from the EU ;¬)

[hcraig244]

This is a slow and painstaking exercise requiring a lot of sanding and swearing…….cant hurry the glue drying process either….

[hcraig244]

I’ve decided on this african iroko veneer…..will need to stain it in order to darken it down to match the Beogram 5000 it will be paired with 

[hcraig244]

made a start on the cabinet top, was in a bit of a mess so re shaped the smashed corners ready for veneering…..

[hcraig244]

this is the internals…..was sold as “restored by seller”…………..
