Anyone know where I can get the peanut lamp (5V 60mA) used in the < > photocell control module in the keyboard. Its B&O part number is 8230069.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

A few pix of the mystery cartridge. Here fitted to SME on old Thorens. Then I found the arm needs fixing! So cartridge is still unused.

In the mean time I’m concentrating on refurbishing a rusty old GR8002 with broken MMC1 from eBay.

Thanks, martin. But I need to buy some gloves first, because NOTHING gets the awful stuff off your skin!

New thread: what is best solvent to remove the gunk left by perished belts in tape drive??

[davidross222]

Sorry for delay in answering, Martin! Thanks for the leads.

Checked all voltages including 14a around Dolby board. All present. But worst possible result for fault – after reassembly it works perfectly!! Tested now with many tapes both in playback and record.

Guess I just wait for something to show up some day … sigh

Thanks, this deep electronics is daunting for an old bloke! But B&O have made any servicing a delight!

I will check voltages around the Dolby ICs.

And your suggestion of Vref will be done, too.

Thanks, TJames for your reply. Yes, opened and replaced a number of darlingtons in circuit around RL101. No VU’s on recorded tape. No change on micro pin 36 !REC.

Thanks, Dillen.

From the circuit I thought RL101 needs to pick for play. No, nil display on VU’s when recorded tape running.
