Beomaster 4400 Type 2419: Initial look at a local B&O Beomaster

A local B&O owner dropped off his Beomaster 4400 for restoration a while back. It is time to open this unit up and get started.

This is a nice and clean Beomaster 4400 unit. I'm looking forward to listening to it. Unfortunately at this time...it is not functioning.




















It has the rabbit ears FM antenna and the clear, plastic FM preset cover intact. You don't often see a Beomaster 4400 unit with those.

This unit is pretty good cosmetically but it has some discolorization and cloudiness to the slider control lenses so I will need to order some replacements.






















Here are the internal boards as I start to remove them.






























Overall pretty good.  There is some expected dirt and grime but nothing bad. The next steps are to start cleaning and replacing capacitors.
