Re: Finally, figured out my Bang Olufsen LX 2800
Well done saving one of these. They are capable of giving really good results when they are working correctly. I went on the B&O course on these when they first came out. It was pretty comprehensive and intensive. I think it was a three day course. They are a 'proper' B&O design.
One thing I do seem to remember was that on the power and scan board the actual PCB material would darken with heat and age. In some cases where the darkening was particularly bad, B&O would issue a complete replacement PCB. I think we had two replaced by B&O but it is a long time ago and my memory fades with age.
On the other hand I used to scrap off the (I think) MX sets whenever I could as they were those horrible Thomson things. Unfortunately at that time, B&O sets were generally bought rather than rented and the owners normally wanted them repaired. Whenever I could I just sent them back to B&O and let them repair them...serves them right!
