      From same territories, generally, yes.
      Refer to the part numbers in the service manual and the 4-digit type numbers found on the serial number labels to make sure.

        No! It’s made like this and it’ll work fine.
        (Actually the best and most stabile operating temperature for many semiconductors of this sort is 60-70 degC).

        Set the idle current as adviced in the service manual.
        Final adjustments are done with the Beomaster under normal working conditions (warm).

        If the idle runs astray (keeps increasing, also after a few minutes) there is a problem
        somewhere, – most likely lack of thermal coupling from the output stage darlingtons – or from the temp. sensing transistor in the constant current generator – to the cooling fins.

        (Never run an amplifier like this without the cooling fins – it’ll do a thermal runaway).

          The rush-in current at power up is quite substantial. Not all voltage converters like that.

          A dead prescaler usually won’t affect the function of the tuner. It would merely mess up the displayed frequency.
          Check the cables to the tuner boards, at least the screened one that goes to the CPU board
          is easily pulled off inadvertently.
          Check also the solder joints at the two tuner boards interconnecting plugs.

            Keep in mind that the record is typically thicker around the perimeter than in the actual playing area,
            – to ensure the needle moves inwards in order to find the groove – rather than outwards.

              No, these are not ICs you would enjoy replacing just for the fun of it.
              Put a scope on the control pins and see if everything goes to binary plan when you run the volume up and down.
              If it does, swap the two ICs to see if the problem moves to the other side.
              If it doesn’t, find out where the missing bit went missing, bad connectors, cracked solder joint, broken cable etc.

                Missing bit to one of the volume control ICs.
                Or a bad IC.

                  There are several, slightly different, versions.
                  Three of the ones shown here have different transistors, and the last one is an entirely different (earlier) version, mainly seen in 41FV and 42FV.

                    Could also be a Siemens SAB8032A-P or a third type I don’t recall right now.
                    You will have to look inside.
                    When you know the type ask at Beoparts-shop. Even if not listed, quite often old stock can
                    be found there which is much better than buying asian counterfeits off Ebay etc.

                      Different transistors and diodes were used in production.
                      Indeed OA81 are found in some versions.

                      Mexking, I still have your RIAA here, remember.
                      – And it actually has OA81 fitted.

                        Sounds like a Beocenter 7000 rather than a Beomaster 7000.

                          OA70 are germanium diodes.
                          Not schottky! (No schottky in power supplies).

                          2 and 3
                          They are styroflex capacitors.
                          If you cannot find styroflex, you can fit polyester capacitors for 2 and ceramic for 3.

                            For the older products, there is no link between serial numbers and production dates.
                            Beomaster 8000 was produced 1981-83.

                              They are not 22uF.
                              A 1960s 22uF film capacitor would be the size of a beer can.
                              Look again. Rotate it or lift one end away from the PCB.
                              I’m sure it says 0,022uF.
                              That’s quite normal. As is 22000pF, which is also 22nF.
                              Just like the one next to it says 1uF if you cover the “0,”.

                              Some of the most reliable capacitors on this planet, those “Mullard mustards” are.

                                Sure it doesn’t say 0,022uF?
                                That would be 22nF.

                                  From serial number 2554003 the monitor function was moved from TP1 to TP2.
                                  This required a change to the slave CPU, the preamplifier and the socket panel.

                                          Unless you are absolutely sure you know what you’re doing, it’s never a good idea to swap servo PCBs between lasers. Let alone across different drive versions.
