Beomaster 4400 Type 2419: Personal Project : Main PCB Recap, New Reservoir Capacitors, New Trimmer Resistors

It may look low profile and small but recapping a Beomaster 4400 is quite a big desoldering and soldering task.

I finished replacing all of the electrolytic capacitors and trimmer resistors on the Beomaster 4400 main board. I also installed an arc suppression device like I installed on the previous Beomaster 4400 restoration project. The purpose of that device is to provide extra protection to the Beomaster power switch contacts.

Here is the Beomaster 4400 after the recapping (the before photos are in the previous post)























Here are some closer shots of the inside of the Beomaster 4400 after the recap.































and here is a closer look at the reservoir capacitors and the arc suppression device.





With the main board and chassis completed I can move on to the three FM boards and the preamplifier board.
