I have a faulty beolab penta 3, type 6631where the problem lies with the amp module.

Now I have a beolab penta 2 type 6622, which is still working good.

1) can i use the amp of the penta 2 to fit the penta 3 for one side since only side side is faulty.

2) is the matrix green display able to show as normal?

3) will there be any difference to the sound i.e.: imbalance sound?

Please help. Thanks

Yes fine, what is wrong with the amp? It can be fixed for a very reasonable sum you know??

seems like a DC leak or transistor fault.

It was playing fine one day and suddenly loud distortion sparking sound appears.

Tried without connection to player, just powering up the the speakers from the main, noise appears too.

Sending down to B&O service center, was told that they do not change at component level, they have to change the whole faulty module but parts are obsolete so no hope.

Have a beolab penta 2 so thought of using the amp to replace the faulty penta 3 amp

Crazy, the Penta is an pretty easy amp to service to component level! Where are you based?
