Default Re: Finally, figured out my Bang Olufsen LX 2800

Hi
Nice to see one of these again. I would be tempted to address the dark areas of the line stage and fit the components further from the PCB, lengthening the wires if necessary. Maybe the 3W wirewounds could be up-rated to 5W and positioned where they can do less damage. This would help future reliability.
Those MX sets mentioned by Tim were not great - Thomson ICC3s if I remember, with a big mains transformer, numerous dry joints and an unreliable LOPT. Plus the tinted front meant that the picture was dull, especially when the Thomson tube had started to lose emission, usually after a year or so.
Thomson then brought out the ICC5 and we ran for the hills, screaming.
