Hi

I am new to B & O so forgive my lack of knowledge. I have recently purchased a few items from ebay, taking delivery yesterday.

Beocentre 4000

Beogram CDx

Beovox C40

I have found that there are a couple of issues with these, although thankfully they are working, hopefully I can get some advice here.

Beocenter 4000 - the red lights work, however the main display lamp appears to have blown, making it really hard to see which button you are pressing, is this a simple fix, can anyone point me in the direction of the correct bulb and proceedure. Also there is a button to the left of the radio frequency dial, mine has broken off, but I cannot see what this would have done (it is the opposite button to the power)

CDx, the left hand hing has broken, initially the unit wasnt working, although I think this was just due to the switch not being pressed due to the hinge, a bit of wiggling has fixed this, it plays cds and sounds great, it the hinge fixeable? Also the display is complete nonsense, the repeat light is alwas lit and the display cycles through various numbers and other digits, isthere anything I can do about this, its not the end of the world but would be better if it worked.

Finally, one of my beovox C40s has a low distortion, could this be due to the foam, or is this indicative of something more sinister>

apologies for the barrage of questions, hopefully someone can help

thanks
