ModeratorIt is now done.
I’ve Ravsted, great work.
What happen when you put on a standard TV the contrast glass from the BV.
Does it change something? In good or comes with some trade-off?Thanks.
Location: Paris FranceYou need to zip the files before attaching them.
Location: Paris FranceThank you to the people offering ideas in a pleasant way and no thank you to the people who are going out of their way to attack me.
Thomash,
I’ve been there too. Beoworld people can sometimes look or sound harsh. I’ve felt myself excluded from a closed circle of “knowing people”. But what I learned is that sometimes when, as you did through your experiments, look able to sort it out by yourself, members won’t interfere. They let you dig and dig and dig again and find out until you’re really stuck and then they show up with respect and good willing.
Long time since I’ve seen a post from Dillen more than one line. He told you “You have already achieved more than most owners could/would.”. Trust me, its a golden badge.
Purpose of Beoworld (as I see it) is not to repair your stuff for you. It is to teach you how to repair any stuff. Sometimes it hurts, yes. But in the end its really rewarding.
Your Deck is a gem, everybody told you that. Get it up and working!
See this as an “bizutage” in French.
Welcome to Beoworld.
Location: Paris FranceIt would be interesting to investigate that RJ45 socket inside the A3 and see how/what for it could be hijacked.
Location: Paris FrancePowerful to me meant that…
Thank you Tim. All this make sense now.
Location: Paris FranceYes pictures are available luckily.
The laser cleaning must be deep cleaning, meaning involving a full disassembly.
Location: Paris FranceCd clamper belt. Easy to diagnose, just remove the back.
Laser eye to be cleaned/replaced. Common fault.
Tape belt, common fault again. Full tutorial on the old forum, unfortunately with pictures missing. 2 hours work and quite an adventure but pretty sure that’s the fault (three Ouvertures, three time the problem).
Location: Paris FranceWhen the Tim question will be completely answered could someone elaborate on this:
The BeoSound Stage is not powerful enough for music.
I mean at what level has someone to listen music for the stage not to be powerful enough?
And is/are Beosound Balance that much more powerful than a Stage?Thanks.

Location: Paris FranceThank you both. I will have a go at opening it next weekend. Do you know a good source for replacement foam? The ones I have found so far are pretty pricey. I am UK based.
For once, the best source is B&O. The original Foam replacement are like 10€ the set per speaker. I believe UK dealers are more flexible but if I’m wrong and they are like ours here in France, you may have to fight a little to have them order the parts. But parts are available and it don’t worth the hassle to try DIY or anything alike.

Location: Paris FrancePaypal… Pros and Cons…
Sometimes it works at it should: safe payment, peace of mind, safety.
Sometimes it don’t. With times, people who want to fraud, fraud! They have understood that all you need to win the case is a return tracking number even if they actually returned whatever crap in the box.I dot wanna even elaborate on what I don’t know but, would it be possible that the algorithms were something like “refund little money to keep the safety feeling, don’t refund big money because it’s not interesting financially speaking”? I don’t know.
There is countless stories o PayPal here on BW. I remember our valuable member Dillen having a lot of troubles with PayPal because of bad buyers that caused him to not use PayPal anymore. In the other hand, as a buyer, I feel safe to use PayPal because the possibility of a case just exists and it doesn’t with any other paying method. And this, even if the confusion may not be in my favor.
I “subscribe” to paypal, long ago, just because I did not want to give my credit card number to eBay. Since then, PayPal has refund me a lot of non delivered items. and even if today, undelivered eBay items find arrangement with the seller directly (because they don’t want a bad review) the original reason is still there.
So in a nutshell: When you’re a seller you may don’t like PayPal because if the buyer is a gangster you know he has ways of legally hustling you.
When you’re a buyer you may don’t like PayPal because you know sellers have ways to dismiss PayPal cases even if they are gansters.
But all in all, PayPal is what it is and, to me, still better than direct CC number.
Location: Paris FranceThank you Xavier, that’s perfect and surely will help a lot in the future.
Location: Paris FranceHi Xavier,
Very nice work, the kind I like! Thank you for sharing the detailed process.
because you seems to know a lot about, would it be possible you make for us a little pensum explaining what iPad wit what OS would work with pros and cons ( even theoretically). I know it could be a lot of work but I’m sure it could help people make the right decision when buying second hand iPads.
thank you.Location: Paris FranceHonestly, how many of us, of you, would buy a brand new Beogram inbox, with full warranty ans panels stickers?
I mean aren’t we praising those beogram, appart that they’re beautiful, because we save them from a certain death, because we like to repair them, adjust them, fight with them to bring them to work?
If you, like me think the same, who cares they sell very expensive ones to whealthy people?
If in the end a refurbished, painted like a stolen car 2020 beogram 4002 value increases, where will be the value of my trully original 1972 BG? A fraction of it maybe but still something. And even then, would I depart from it?Anyway, two things, two audiences.
Location: Paris FranceThe anodising of the alu-parts is in this colour-combo is bordering on vulgar.
I Agree…
I think there is something very wrong with a brand – particularly luxury brands when they keep re-hashing merchandise…
Again, I agree…
Omega Speedmasters etc…
I can’t agree more (only smart move was the MoonSwatch)…
Appart from this, I must say I don’t really care. That kind of things, relayed by fancy magazines and instagram post make just raise our Beogram 4002 value (happy when you own it, less when your look for one, but, hey…).
Now, whoever want a beosystem like that one but with more peaceful or classic color palette can make it’s own, to his tastes, with the money he has : from my poor Beocenter 72-97, to an old but B&O refurbished BG4002 paired with any Beolab speaker and any high-end RIAA pre-amp. Thank you B&O for giving us the idea of that setup.
That said, the real shame of it is the color… Awfull.
Location: Paris FranceZut, not a good news, I used to believe the deep cleaning was a forever cure.
I remember it was a thread on the old forum about, I don’t know, reflowing some connections or maybe replacing one or to capacitors, in a nutshell another path out from the usual “just replace the lens”.
I WANT to believe that lasers last forever and ore not just 5 years life long components.
Location: Paris FranceThe mirror too ?
Location: Paris France24 June 2023 at 19:16 in reply to: Conversion kit Beolab 4000 to Sonos electronics with Trueplay #47297So it’s basically an 130€ Ikea Symphonisk shelf speaker guts connected to the Beolab 4000 drivers?
I think I’ve seen the same mod with a Beovox C100 somewhere.
Location: Paris FranceHi, welcome to Beoworld and thank you for taking care of asking.
Actually the rule is “paying members – Silver and Gold – are allowed to post in private ads.”
The recent makeover of the forum, due to numerous reasons, leading to a lot of work of good-willing people as made the “lock” to this rule not working.
So if you post, it will work and people will see your ad. and no (trustfull) buyer here will refuse to save a good piece from the trash or get a very desired item from a (supposed) trustfull seller and your deal will happen.
But if you sell your things through Beoworld, please just consider making a donation or enrolling for a membership, just as a “thank you”.
Of course, if the items you want to sell have nothing to do with the BOU (Bang & Olufsen Universe), moderators will remove your add.
Truth to be told.
