Canada Beomaster 8000: Checking out the reworked boards

In the last post on the Canada Beomaster 8000 I left off having completed the restored display board.  With that last board completed I can finally begin testing what this Beomaster can do.

Since it has been a week since I last checked this Beomaster restoration I decided to recheck all of the power supply voltages, the no-load current checks and the DC offset checks.

Naturally I tested the display board now that it is reinstalled.

Everything looks like it is working correctly so I test played an iPod Nano into the Beomaster Tape 2 source input. As usual I connected my Beovox S-55 speakers I keep in the lab.

The Beomaster sounds like a Beomaster 8000.

I wrapped up the day by preparing the Beomaster for some upcoming performance tests.
Here is my test setup.
I am applying a 1KHz sine wave of 1.0VRMS to the Tape 2 source input of the Beomaster. I will measure and monitor the voltage across the dummy 8Ω speaker loads as well as measure the output with a QuantAsylum QA401 Audio Analyzer.

The test setup is ready and I ran a couple of preliminary tests.

Later this evening I will start running the performance tests.
