    Thanks folks I appreciate the feedback so far. I originally bought the Beomaster 3000-2 – when I got my first permanent, reasonably salaried job. It felt like an indulgent purchase at the time, even second hand through eBay. When it first failed I was very disappointed but determined to fix it. In spite of lack of experience. My Grandpa was a radar operator and (laterally) TV repair man so I feel a need to prove something in three situations! I was very heartened back then to review the old Beomaster forum and see such in depth sharing of ideas, to troubleshoot issues with these machines. It felt very antithetical to the paradigm of modern electronics, where the objective outcome for the manufacturer is the the quickest obsolescence possible (post warranty).

     

    anyway just wanted to say thanks again to the forum. I’m fearing I might be out if my depth to fix this but I still love the scene!

    Hi it’s a 3000-2 (with radio tuner) sorry, I’ve updated the title now. Thanks for that. How repairable would transistor be do you think?
