Beomaster 1500 Buzzing Fault
4 replies
My Beomaster 1500 has suddenly and unexpectedly developed a loud buzzing noise on all channels. Anyone know the likely cause & if there's a simple fix? Not being able to play my vinyl through it is badly affecting my morale.
When you say "all channels",do you mean that the buzzing is still there on radio?Is it still there with the volume control set to minimum?
If it's only when you play records,does the buzzing stop when you remove the record player connector from the Beomaster?
If it does,then the grounding connection inside the connector may have come adrift?
There are two grounding connectors with B&O turntables,one to pin number two,and 'tother to the connector metal case.
The plug comes apart,and the connectors can be checked and perhaps resoldered.

Bad filter capacitors, perhaps?

Thanks Martin appreciate the suggestion. I wish I had the technical nous to determine whether that's the case.
