Beomaster 4000 (2406) An unexpected journey

Sweet. What are you going to do with 3 of them?

Well....the latest acquisition was sourced from ebay at £41...said one channel was down but cosmetically looks reasonable, I'm hoping to bring it back up to spec with some replacement components, still looking for an outer case for the one I got from Steve.

It strikes me that there are quite a few of these systems out there that people simply cannot get repaired these days and therefore sell them on very cheaply, I know in my part of the UK there is nowhere anyone could take such a piece of kit for restoration, modern day equipment cant be repaired at component level.....new card or bin the lot. I may be a little misguided in this assumption...but that's how it looks to me. 

The other day I had a board to repair. One of the surface mounted power transistors was fried.

Trouble is, it also destroyed - literally transformed into charcoal - several layers of the PCB, making repair nigh on impossible.

Hi Craig,

 

I think it was the same unit i bid on......and the last 3 seconds you grabbed it! Cheers!
