Hi I have a Beolab 8000 (type 6802) which has developed a fault. There is no power indication and no sound. I have read elsewhere that the standy transformer and related components can be at fault.
Does anyone have a more detailed cure for the problem as I love the speakers and don`t want to replace the whole amplifier module as stated eleswhere and which no doubt would be costly.
I`ve already removed the amp module from the speaker
Many thanks,
Mark
If you haven't got any knowledge or experience with it whatsoever - my advice would be to take it to qualified engineer and have it tested, it could be all sorts of things, if you have some knowledge - have look at service manual and follow the diagram from input until you eliminate the fault - referring to manual and confidence (maybe with bit of experience) is absolutely crucial, but suppose that's nothing you already haven't thought off
After all all that (yes even our precious B&O's) are just electronic devices designed to get "current" across ;) and than the little band in the speaker get shocked and start to play (I think)
Don't worry - be Happy
Check the fuses F1 F2, and the thermofuse 0F1 I think, there is a manual onsite, if this is OK check the standby transformer, in my BL 4000 that one went bad.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
