Texas Beomaster 8000: Testing the new phono DIN jack

The touch up paint is dry so I can test the phono DIN jack repair of this Beomaster 8000 unit.
There is just enough room on this workbench to fit a Beogram 5000 turntable to check out the phono input.

Pressing the PH button on the Beomaster turned the Beogram 5000 on and it started to play. No problems...it plays wonderfully. I have to add that I am glad that Bang & Olufsen retained remote control functionality within their product lines.

Here are a couple of pictures playing the Beogram 5000 with the Beomaster 8000.






















I believe it is time to start the final re-assembly of the Beomaster so it can be closed back up.
