Hello - I picked up a Beomaster 1900 (model 2904) in good physical condition from a thrift store for $10 and figured it was worth seeing if it worked & trying to fix it if it wasn't too hard.
The unit powers on and seems to respond to some input - the standby light is lit, and if I touch one of the source buttons the bass/treble/balance lights come on. None of the left or right panel indicator lights are not lit, and I get nothing out of the headphone output.
I've done a preliminary disassembly of the unit and it is in fairly good condition internally - it was serviced in the 80s according to a servicing sticker and has been recapped. The lamps all show continuity, so it doesn't seem that they're all out. What would be a good first place to investigate? I might be a bit out of my depth with this project, but I figure for $10 it's a good learning experience.
Thanks!
Beomaster 1900 powers on, no source lights

I would probably test the fuses first. The fuse holders are known to tarnish, so they will not make any connection. In that case they can be cleaned up with a fibre pen. Also, please take a look at the schematics to see where the source lights get the power from and which voltage. Measure it, and trace it to where it stops.

Does the relay make an audible click when the Beomaster goes in and out of standby?
