Thank you to our Sponsors
I discoverd the Label and the torx screws as well, opend them but NOTHING slid out, in fact the damn thing didn't move at all...
Bit of elbow grease got it out for me, mate :)
Thank you for the encouragement Jeff, it was a very exciting little project!!
Just a forewarning that removing the white exterior of the mac remote was difficult. Good luck all!!
🤒 Nice *ahem* one Dave!!
BTW should we be calling you a Pineapple or a Banana-Bender now?

I thought it was cane toad ? :-)
Big thanks to Dave for his Brainstorm! I now no longer consider my Beo1 useless.
From the little project.
Removing the "inner tube" was simple after undoing the two square head screws under the serial number label (T-5-75 head). I pulled it out using the tweezers on the left. The little resistance you encounter comes from the rubber pads hanging on to the inner unit, but the pads are not attached to the aluminium shell, and everything comes out.
Removing the white shell on the Apple remote took patience. Carefully remove the "black" IR cap on the Apple remote, be certain you don't ruin the IR-head.
The control unit in the Beo1 is snapped into place, and comes loose easily.
You then spend a little time anchoring the Apple remote innards. I glued the STOP-REC pad to the aluminium shell.
The other rubber pad is loose, and is held in place by the innards, so make sure that you place the Apple remote innards to help keep things fixed.
Here's what I needed to get the job done, minus the glue I used to anchor the AR-innards.
The Apple remote's outer white casing is very hard, and takes some work and patience to snip off.
The black top comes off with a snap. It's not glued on, but is held in place by a few plastic retainers.
The IR-lamp, which you don't want to break, is on the right top end, as you're looking at the controls.
Here's the Apple Remote control interface in the middle of the old Beo1 similar unit, and the rubber pad which has control pods that fit perfectly with the Apple Remote buttons.

HAHAHA!! very witty.
Yes soundproof's photos are great, I'm sorry i did not take pictures, this is exactly what it all looked like, although i left the apple buttons attached and just left them behind the beo1s buttons, not sure which is best, i gave up on removing that white plastic casing as soon it could fit / i was allowed to stop!
The beo1 is such a facsinating remote.
You then spend a little time anchoring the Apple remote innards.
Oh, what did you anchor the apple electronics to?? The black beo1 casing?
Finally got one off of eBay and should be arriving any day now. Wish me luck as I have a macmini connected to my BS3 and BV4-50.
