I, only last week, as posted on here, had to replace my lamp holder on my Beaulieu 708el stereo.They do need replacing periodically as the contacts expand and oxidize after many years of use and you find you just keep on getting an intermittent bad connection and lamp starts to dim and flicker at times due to bad connection.This isn't doing your lamps,transformer or switch contacts any favours whatsoever due to power surges from the arcing. Try checking you have voltage (15VAC) across the terminals and if you have noticed an intermittent bad connection, it is well worth changing out for a genuine new spare anyhow. These are available for the Bauer from FFR Filmtechnik among other places.
On the Bauer, Elmo and Beaulieu models, this is a fairly easy task to change the lampholder and leads out for new, right back to their original transformer and switch terminal points. No need to try and repair existing lampholder as they are riveted together and arn't worth trying to repair. Much better to change out for new.
