these amps are certainly worthy of repair/restoration, they are a marvel of engineering...I believe hendrik from the site here lives on your part of the world, he has provided me with bits and pieces for 6000 quads in the past, he may be the one to help you....Im in the UK so not a lot of help I'm afraid

Thanks! I hope I can find him through the search engine. Machine still looks good, would be a shame if it wasn't restored. Regards, Bert  

Sadly I can't find Hendrik using the search engine. Does anyone know his username? Regards, Bert

Try to search Henrik instead or username square4 ? Henrik.

hehe.....sorry Henrik, my fault....how are doing anyway? all good........ Craig

Hey Henrik, Nice to meet you here. Sorry for the mixup ?. Perhaps we could speak about restoring the Beo 6000. It shows no response after powering it up. Just a red light. I'm unsure if this is a standby light or the IR light. It would be a shame to scrap it. Because I have suddenly become nearly blind I'm not able to do anything with it anymore.   Many thanks for your time! Kind regards, Bert  

Hi Craig. Yes, besides getting old  i am alright,sort of. How about you? Hi Bert. I am not an repair man,i only have some spare parts for these wonderful receivers, but most of them are sold now. Do you have the remote control for the 6000,and if you have can you get anything working by using it? Under the control panel there are glued some plastic parts,and if they are falling of you can't use the control panel Login to view image That is my best guess, sorry i can not help any further,but as Craig said they are absolutely worth getting repaired. Henrik.

Hi Henrik.. Pretty much like yourself. the clock is ticking as some say...but overall I'm still in good shape for an old man ;¬) Bert...could be your 6000 is stuck in standby, very difficult to diagnose without eyes on, and if yours are failing it wouldnt be easy for you to open her up and do some tests...but do replace the remote battery and give that a go...maybe someone closer to you will weigh in and volunteer some assistance, the UK is a long way to send such a heavy amplifier ;¬) Craig

Hey Henrik, No problem and all insights are very much welcome. I am relate to feeling the clock ticking. I put the machine in service mode. And removed the aluminium front. I've done this kind of work so often I can literally do this blind. My spare eyes (read: wife) says there is nothing strange to see. No blown components and very clean. I think the red light might be the infrared sensor, but guessing here. I do have the remote the set is complete. Problem with the remote is that it needs a 15v battery. In some special format. For the love of me, I can't find it for anything resembling a reasonable price. I think I would pay €30 for one. But will search further because it is a good idea. I had a beo that also had a stuck it receiver that didn't respond to anything.   Regards, Bert
