My first one was a BM 901, got it wrong way around so the visor was working backward.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
I just got in a Tandberg 3011A Tuner for restoration - the first one I've done of this type.
Inside, it looks just like a BeoMaster of the same era - uses even the same IC's - TCA420 and MC1310.
It also uses the same little separate Front-end box, and is voltage controlled.
The circuit looks closest to the BM2000/3400.
But a bit better quality - some of the PCB's are FR4, instead of the B&O paper-based Pertinax.
Looking forward to a couple of days of fun with this.

Wasn't this top of the range at the time?

Some unnecessary stuff removed...

Will continue when have time...
Orava: Will continue when have time...
Ok, in the mean time relax, lots of pictures of what I did
Working on a dirty Beocord 2200
Waiting for new (test) belts from Martin
Now it looks better!
Reclothing my Penta's
Refoaming RL140 and Penta drivers
Recapping (attempt) M70's Will finish that later....
Cleaning my new acquired RL140's, cloths (original) are already in mint condition
New straps from Jason for my RL140's (excellent stuff)
Brengen & Ophalen
Leslie: Orava: Will continue when have time... Ok, in the mean time relax, lots of pictures of what I did
THAT might include some shocking images
Tell me..
Leslie: Tell me..
Angle Grinder at first...
What's that?
Something like this
Maybe I start a threat for it...
What has this tool to do with my post?
Ah, not yours, obiously you do not use those, but I meant this
so I did crossed our posts
"Maybe I start a threat for it..."
We have enough violence - no more threats, please!!!!
The correct spelling is THREAD
yes, broken english is difficult....

That's why they canceled the performance of Kenny G and the Boston Pops on TV. Yup, too much sax and violins on TV these days...

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Superb work Leslie, it is above my competences.
I am wondering where you find time to do all that.

Merci Alain, it's fun to do and every hour of my leisure time I spend working on my B&O toys, keeps me of the street... But fun is over now, two weeks on a business trip is coming.
Leslie: Orava: Ah, not yours, obiously you do not use those, but I meant this Orava: Will continue when have time... so I did crossed our posts I honestly thought you wanted to cut my items in half with that tool...
oh no, that wouldn't be nice at all
Ok, what a relief Orava :-)
In the mean time I finished another pair of S45-2, S120's and RL60.2
looks reallr really great Leslie!
My re-capped M75 are my precious diamonds.
Thanks Christian, there's more to come but I have to wait for 2 weeks
I like all of them but I prefer the blue one's
Beautiful, as always ;) !
Like the blue one too (probably for french ;)) !
Have a nice trip and see you when you will come back !!!!
Leslie,
You have a real gift for doing what you do, exceptionally well.
The outside is no less important than the insides of these fine products, and I'm not ashamed to admit that while I am known to do a superb job on the electronic insides, your external cosmetic refinishing is far and above my standard for the same type of work.
Keep it up!
Definitely true Menahem, Leslie is quite the perfectionist and craftsman. And for B&O in particular how they look is of great importance, one of the reasons we all buy Beo stuff is the appearance. Which is why seeing eBay sales if such obviously damages and marred gear is so disheartening.
Selfishly, I wish Leslie lived on my continent....
and
Thank you Menahem and Jeff!
Everybody has his skills. I enjoy working with tools (e.g. my hands). But on the other side I always admire members who can do the electronic stuff and God I wish I had this knowledge. I tried several times to recap vintage stuff but the only result I get is lots of smoke.
Anyway, this evening I had a few hours left after a great diner with my wife so I took a Beocord 1200 to refurb it cosmetically. Now you can see where my skills stops and that's because one channel of this recorder does not work And I need a belt for the counter. Martin?
Jeff:Selfishly, I wish Leslie lived on my continent....
Jeff, wish I could, but soon I have to make a round trip visiting China, South Africa, India and finally the US again. Looking forward to meet members of these continents, wow!

Oh my, first time I see what I have coming.... And lot of woodwork too. Mine is in a baaaad shape.
Did you renew all belts? From where?
beovox 1702 recaped...Now back messing with my Beomaster 900
Doing some recapping...
Tip: dont try to solder these off, take a good hold and twist a little. Saves your board.
I know that PCB - from the last version of the BC9300, with the CDM12-4 laser, right?
Might also be in other machines of the same generation.
Never adjust that transformer between the 2 big caps - it looks very tempting, I know, but don't do it! Don't ask me how I know...................
Mech says CDM12ind, Overture. Doesnt spin, dont know why.... In test mode it does spin.
What caps are you gonna place instead, SMD components?
Tuner board in BC7700 replaced,and now inside of same machine...dont think I need to say whats next....[;)]

Those are pana 105 I had on draver
