I think it looks great!
But with a black upper plate it would look excellent :)

Jooka, you say it is too shiny - do you like B&O products such as BS4500, BS9500, BS6 etc?

I quite like it too. How much did it cost you to do this mod?

The cost is split into two sections, around £7 layout, then the price for 3 hours work. What price can you put on time!

😂😂😂
In my house, I don't touch the brass fingerplates on the doors for the same reason!
Absurd, isn't it?

I love the magic behind the designs of most B&O products , to say you never touch the 7000 turns it into a design without the magic.

Hi Andy, I have done similar experiments with Beolink 1000s and Beocom 6000 pyramids.. The idea was to make gold plated models.
I haven't completely abandonned the project yet.
Caustic soda in an eggcup with a toothbrush is good for removing anodising on aluminium pre plating, but very dangerous to use.
