I completed the electrical restoration tasks on this Beogram 8002.
The next step will be the mechanical tasks but first...here is a review of the electrical restoration work.
On the Beogram 8002 restorations a big part of the electrical work is replacing all of the electrolytic capacitors with new capacitors.
Here is a picture of the main circuit board (PCB 1) with the microcomputer circuit board (PCB 2) before any restoration work was done.
I started with the smaller, PCB 2 assembly.
It only has one electrolytic capacitor, 2C28. It is a 47uF, 10V electrolytic capacitor.
The Beogram 8002 boards are quite crowded and susceptible to cracks in the solder joints of the board connectors. For that reason I always reflow the solder joints of the board connectors and on the Microcomputer Board (PCB 2) I replace the socket for the microcomputer IC.
Here is PCB 2 before the restoration.
The next few photos show the removal and restoration of the 2C28 capacitor and the IC socket for the Microcomputer.
I moved 1C28, a 4.7uF, 63V capacitor to the trace side of the board for more room. It also required some repair of a PCB trace it uses.
There is one bi-polar, 27uF electrolytic capacitor in the transformer compartment that requires changing. As the photos show, the original 4C1 capacitor was just over 20% (32.98uF) from the 27uF listed value. I replaced it with a new capacitor assembly that measures 27.92uF.
The last two electrolytic capacitors I replaced are located on the floating chassis. They are for the voltage regulator circuit. There is a 47uF capacitor and a 1uF capacitor that needed replacing.
I can now move on to the mechanical restoration tasks. Once those are complete I will be ready to test out these electrical updates.
