I thought I was the only one who had pestered Martin with a constant stream of queries when something went wrong with various bits of B&O - but it seems there are others!

Martin, your patience is legendary. Thanks for helping to keep some lovely old sets up and running, and for making collectors' lives so much less stressful :)

If it was not for Martin most of my B&O would properly not be working right.

It started of with my Beogram 8002 which was serviced for around 262£ by a local radio shop. A few months later it was nearly dead. No its old so no guarantee on the work. Martin had always said it was welcome but to me it still is a 4 hour train ride each way so it took quite a while to pack up the Beogram and get moving. Then someday it started skating over the first couple of tracks. Not good and off to Martin I went as he sugested I took it personal to him as sending a Beogram is not a good idea unless wellpacked and so on.

That was November 2007 and since then the Beogram 8002 still plays like new. It took of from there. From Beomaster to Beocord to Beograms to Terminals to Beovox's to cable work to collecting rare stuff nearby. I can't say thank you enough! You put the honor in keeping the older B&O alive and do better than anybody else period!

We still need the "Serviced by Dillen sticker" I'll take a few.

It was his contact, and ultimately one of his "Cap Kits" that brought me to the old site!

I was delighted to see him again when the new site launched!

My only regret is that I don't live down the street so I could stand over his shoulder like a 7 year old in awe, at least until he kicks me out! On the other hand, I am sure he is happy that I don't!

Bravo! someday!

I can tell you that there is a 10 year old boy already doing that whit great pleasure.

And Dillen likes it🤒

Hey, what's this ?
I just noticed this thread. I'm completely overwhelmed and not quite
sure what to say...   😉
Thanks doesn't really sound enough.

I'm having great fun here at Beoworld.
And in the repairshop.
Servicing the older B&O things and helping others keep the things alive is
a great pleasure and helping owners living in areas with no access to proper service even more so.
The things deserve to be kept going and I find great satisfaction in
coming up with solutions to stubborn problems and looking into "impossible" faults.
I'm learning a lot from this too, you know.

I've come to know a lot of nice people through Beoworld, a few I even met
in person and I now have many good friends including some that I never even saw a photo of.
I wouldn't be without it so thanks guys. 🤒

And ... "Captain Beoworld" ?
Oh, come on. That'll have to be Peter !   😂

Martin

Dillen you deserve it!

I just want to thank you on your new purchase.

Thanks.
Yes, I couldn't let that one pass and I'll be happy to tell about the repairs when I get around to doing it.
But actually, that was not my primary prize today; I was extremely lucky to win this lot :

and am happy about two of these, one of them in particular. It's not a quiz but maybe
someone can recognize what I bought here ?  ❓  😂

I'm sure someone older than me will know, Captain!😎

They look like small cinema / theatre speakers! Anything to do with BOFA ?

I've seen the one on the left before - on our forum homepage!!  Please, tell us about them.. 🙂
