Hello everyone, I have to thank you all for the amount of useful information I found while reading the various topics. Often they have helped me to tune my Beomaster 3000, Beomaster 1400 and Beomaster 3300. I'm not a professional repairman but just a passionate collector of B&O products designed by Jacob Jansen and who knows a little about electronics. This time, however, I need some advice on how to fix the top panel brake descent system of my Beomaster 1900. The problem is that a substance that acts as a brake has run out and I must therefore replace it. Unfortunately, however, I do not know what substance it is. I have tried with some silicone grease but without success. Is there anyone who can help me by giving me directions on what to do? I worked a lot on the electronics of this Beomaster 1900 and now everything works perfectly except only the mechanical side of the top panel which is left to fix.
thanks for any suggestions.
Regards
Lorenzo
It's Kilopoise grease.Can sometimes be found in small amounts on Ebay, listed for use with dampened toilet seats.

thank you Martin,
Stateside I was able to find NyoGel 767a that has worked for me and appears to be an alternative to Kilopoise. And it is available in a 10g tube.
Here's where it is available:

I found it's better to clean off as much as you can of the old stuff. Someone mentioned using contact cleaner to thin the old stuff. I think it gets stickier as it gets older. Exercise caution when removing the cabinet sides. The little tabs are brittle and will either need to be glued back on or at least need reinforcing.
Great, this is an helpfull alternative to kilopose. Somewhere I read that parafine is useful to clean Kilopose. I'll pay attention to the tabs!!!
