Hi,

Thank you for followimg thu’ with me…

Unfortunately,not. I had to leave London as I had to return to Australia and get back to work as my holiday in London had come to an end. So I left the sub with my son-in law.

I did not have the necessary tools to work safely so put the project on hold.

My son-in-law and my daughter will be visiting us in Australia at the end of the year, and I am hoping he brings the plate amp with him as I have the tools for the job.

The connector to the main board was heat damaged so unless a replacement is available it will be difficult to work on or test the board.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Kimd regards.
 
Correction, Adam 8. Yes, I am aware that schematics are not available for this sub. I am looking at replacing some components compromised by heat damage- specifically the resistor and diode visible in the picture attached.

Ok. I won’t argue.
This is the item I am sitting with on the workbench. (Refer to attachment).

The boards have Ice power and B&O markings on them.
Adam Audio, Germany technicians have confirmed it’s a Sub 8 and that schematics are not available. (which I am aware).

You obviously know something I don’t, as I am just a diy hobbyist trying to salvage what I think is a nice piece of audio equipment.
