Thanks, David for your enthusiasm. it is nice to know someone is far more interested them than my wife, hahaha. So as you will notice definitely not a perfect match, from the other signs of damage also I assume one of the displays has been fully replaced, with completely different components and display lens. Ohh and if you're wondering I didn't have any Axial Caps 2200uf so had to improvise, for now, the existing ones were well out 2605uf and 1815uf, I might look at a mkII display upgrade in the future, also I'm not sure whether to pair them with the 9500 or my new acquisition  Beovision Avant 32RF  (i need to claim another room in the house first) regards Brad

Just an addition in case anyone else is crying over broken Amber covers, as they are so brittle, they do glue nicely (well enough) back together with the "bondic UV" still working on the holding pegs wont be as easy to hide like the smoked covers.

Very VERY interesting! Incredible to see 2 different front face plates for the Mk1 displays! Also interesting to see the 'big chip' it is not the same as the MK3 I've checked, and I suspect that is the same as the MK2 (although I haven't checked that yet. As I said on your Avant post, reach out directly I'd enjoy having a proper chat :-)

Thanks,
