Bought a lovely condition used Beocom 2 off eBay as not working.

Ive popped a new battery in and given it a good charge.

The screen lights up but has no logo etc. I do however get regular flashing of the screen on and off.

Done a bit of googling and it appears to be a common issue, but not sure what the fix is.

Any pointers gratefully received !

Putting everything back together, although still awaiting the RIAA back from my expert in SMDs.

Out of curiosity, can anyone enlighten me as to what the mica plate is for under the PSU board ? It appears to be a shield for the component that sits on top of it, to stop dust getting in, but allowing someone me form of cooling ?

I may be totally wrong, but always keen to learn.

Incidentally, that spring clip is a b ugger to get back on !

Cheers

Jonny

The Kose board with just the connector shown was I think the same one from the video where the cable just pulled straight out.

Tried doing that again and no joy, so going with a de-solder. At least that will give me the opportunity to see how it all goes together.

The clip on top of the connector also appears to have little prongs to separate the cables as they enter the connector.

Really helpful – thanks Guy. I’m using a component kit from Condor to recap the PSU board, main board and RIAA as well as new diodes, a couple of op-amps (SMD so will leave those to an expert) and new 33&45 trimmers.

I know it sounds like a know what I’m talking about, but I’m basically learning as I go along and it’s very interesting and fun following the circuit diagram and finding out what everything does.

Ive dropped Menahem an email on the connector, so hopefully he can help.

Cheers

Thanks Mad – I’m thinking that’s the case here, as a firm pull doesn’t give any success. There is a YouTube video of Kose Trading just pulling the cable out on a Beogram 3000, but I’d prefer to take the educated route before getting ham fisted.

If anyone else can chip in that would be appreciated.

Thanks Rolf – useful info.

Hi again MM – Steve’s confirmed everything you said about the 14.

Will see how it works with my setup, but start looking out for an 11. You are talking about an II and not a 2 ?

Appreciate the input – every day is a school day !

Far too expensive for a non working phone I’m afraid, but thanks for the heads up.

[Jonathan McCall]

Hi Manfred – do you have a red case in excellent condition ?

Thanks

Thanks MM – Steve can do RI45 to Powerlink cables, so my further investigation is thinking PL in from 4500 amp, then RJ45 to PL back to the 8000’s ?

I think that way the system b reduces the bass output to the 8000’s.

Try Ron at Beorepairs in the UK.

Good luck !

Well – would you believe it…

A bit more Googling and I came up with this extremely helpful post from a chap called Kirkus which is all I could ever want !

Hopefully it helps someone else out in future.
