WOW... never realized that i was the "next to last" Founder !!!  loved those days..lots of vintage talk..integrating ML with MCL and all the different boxes.. 8pins.. how to bypass, etc.. looking forward to vintage talk again !! Remember writing w you Keith on some equipment issues.

 

Nice, dropping a line in order to check my current member status. From my own records, I should be one of the 22 as I have maintained my gold mebership since 2007. However, mostly lurking.

Hi Keith,

May you please tell me my "rank" in the founders list?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Keith, I am curious how long ago was it since I joined ?

I suspect I am no longer a founder member though was the very first moderator at the start of Beoworld when run by Steve. It has certainly been a long time ago and things have changed - I encountered Beoworld first as Steve had 'borrowed' a number of my pictures from Beocentral, a B&O site run by the Jarman brothers. This was settled amicably and I then started helping Steve. Some may remember the meeting in France when a number of us met up. The idea was to set up a B&O museum in the hotel Steve had set up but unfortunately this came to nothing. Lee and I picked up a lot of the equipment I had donated and we became good friends ( and still are!) My thought on B&O these days are very mixed - I still have a fair amount of older equipment ( a fair bit is being fixed at Multicare as I post!) including the Beomaster 4401 and infamous Beogram 4001 (it's a fake!) but failing hearing and a dislike of most of the new products has seen me drift away - play more with cars and dogs these days! Keith is an excellent chap - was a pleasure to meet him and his wife when they were up in Newcastle though that was many years ago. I am pleased to see the site still running and a good number of the golden oldies still active!

Hi Peter,

Good to hear from you - I assume from your post that you are the 'Peter' from the second post in this archived thread:  /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/picture-of-beomaster-4400-system-peter

... with an impressive 9,572 posts on that forum alone!

I do of course remember you from my early days on Beoworld - I think your earlier avatar also showed a dog but I may be wrong.  I certainly valued your inputs back then and am honoured to be following in your footsteps as a moderator (and possibly 'golden oldie') today.

With regard to 'founder member' status, I think that should still be valid and showing against your name regardless of current membership level - perhaps @Multicare could make the necessary amendments?

Regards Guy
