Beomaster/CD 4500 glass panel replacement

28 replies

Hi, I will shortly have the answer to the problem of the unavailability of the glass panels for the Beomaster 4500 and the CD4500.

They will be a very very close copy of the originals with all lettering, windows and fonts looking very similar indeed.

They will of course work perfectly unlike certain people who are selling just a piece of blackened glass!!!!! (Anyone can do that)

If you are interested please let me know.

Would like to see some pictures of one fitted in place.

 

Craig🙂

That would be a pretty amazing feat!! Would also love to see one fitted. Obviously these would also fit the Beomaster/CD 3500 as well!!

Hi, I will fingers crossed have the first final example in approx 2 to 3 weeks.

Sounds interesting indeed !
Do let us know the results.

Martin

Barrie, I'm interested as well, please keep us informed🤒

Those really are a poor attempt aren't they. I saw one listed at 99p start and that's what it sold for - overpriced IMO. I won't evn start on speaker reclothing kits with double sided adhesive tape.......

Are you guys referring to somebody on Ebay😁

Using adhesive ds tape for reclothing works if you are using the right type of tape. I did a lot of CX's and it works perfect. Yesterday I did a Beolab 4 which is quite easy to do using this tape on both sides of the grill.

The front panel is original grey, just reclothed the two side panels in black! Lots of oppurtunities to do things yourself on refurbishing B&O stuff.  (sorry, bit of off-topic now)

 

are you planning to get your panles to opperate the unit  like the ones Quality Dream Audio sell on ebay or will they just look the part but not work ?

as i am sure your aware the touch panels will not work (even if you cant see what you are pressing but i am sure you know where the buttons are on your system) through glass unless it has been prepared with a graphite solution to conduct through the glass.

let me know how you are getting on with these as its been a long time since your post.

 

I bought 3 transparent glas panels, and conductive graphite paint is on its way. So that's a start. Cad drawing has been made. Laser engraving will be the nex step.....
