Description
Fusible resistor 4,7 Ohm (4R7) for power supply overload protection in the following Bang & Olufsen models:
Beocord 2000
Beocord 3300
Beocord 5500
Beocord 6500
Beocord 7000
Component designator R8 (Beocord 2000,3300), 3R1 (Beocord 5500,6500,7000).
Sitting in the power supply regulator circuits this is a safety component, designed to burn in case of power supply overload, f.e. if the motor seizes from tangled belts etc.
Typical symptoms of a burned resistor is sluggish operation, lack of power when winding/rewinding, heavy wow at record/playback, or the motor won’t run at all.
This is a direct replacement for original Bang & Olufsen part# 5020482
