Hello all
I got myself a nice second hand vintage B&O set, that consists of:
Beomaster 1900-2 -tuner/amp
Beogram 2202 -turntable
Beovox s30 -speakers
all in white.
They are in very nice condition externally, but for some reason the Beomaster gives a static "hum". Not very loud, but enough to bother. The hum stays no matter which input I select. Any ideas where to poke?
Other little weirdness is when I push the "stand-by" -button - then I can hear a "clicketiclick" directly from the beomaster -unit and the volume setting goes to the max - does this ring any bells?
Thank you in advance,
-pete-
Hi rock.......although I have not experienced this problem I have read one or two threads here that describe a similar problem. Based on these threads I would suggest your problem lies in the mains transformer, apparently the core which is made up of multiple laminations starts to de laminate over time and starts to vibrate causing a hum......solution is to replace the whole thing
Not very encouraging I know.......and I may have it wrong ;-)
