This shows the main PCB in its original condition:
and after replacing the capacitors with 105C grade Japanese units and putting in a new relay and multi-turn RPM trimmers:
This shows the detail around the relay and the trimmers:
The Beolover relays are drop in replacements for the original Siemens relay (they are also available for the National relays that some Beograms feature):
After the PCB was completed I also replaced the main reservoir capacitor. This shows the original can:
and the replacement consisting of a modern capacitor and a 3D printed sleeve that makes it fit perfectly into the original clamp:
