Beomaster 2400-2

Complete set of correct lamps for the front panel. A total of 15 lamps (plus a spare) of correct type and wattage.
To achieve equal illumination and lamp life it is adviceable to replace all lamps in one go.

In these Beomaster models the lamps are not merely used for indicating purposes, – they are in each their way integrated parts of the electronic circuits;
The two volume lamps vary in brightness as they form part of the electronic volume control. Any unbalance from a bad/wrong lamp (or a LED) can cause unstability in the volume control, typically seeing it running astray in either direction or just sitting blocked and unresponsive.
The three lamps illuminating the balance and tone control indicators double as bleed-down loads for the standby-circuit to activate properly. With wrong (or burned) lamps or LEDs it can be difficult to bring the Beomaster into standby. It will often jump back on again.
The sound source indicators assist to perform a brief muting of the sound while switching sound source – to avoid a loud bang sound.
The two tuning discriminator lamps form part of the AGC circuitry with their varying brightness, tuning close to – and around – FM stations, the discriminator circuit depends greatly on the lamps varying flow of current (light output) to function correctly.

These are not LEDs, they are the real thing.
