I just got a Beocenter 9300 with cracked upper panel. I understand it is difficult to get a replacement panel.
My question is: Would it be possible to make a new one? Have a glass plate cut to size and then stick black foil behind it and cut the necessary holes for the displays? I reckon this would be both easier and cheaper than buying an original panel, if i could get my hands on one at all.
What do you say?
As far as I'm aware the panel should still be available from your dealer for this model.

OK, thanks!

No prob's.
To add to your post, it would be very very difficult to reproduce the panels as they are silk screen printed (or possibly laser printed) to attain the very precise "clear" areas where the light shines through. If anyone can find a vialble way to do this then there would be a decent market for them as a lot of equipment from this era (systems 3500/4500 CDX etc...) use the same principle on the panels and are now unavailable.
As the 9300 was the last in this line this is why they are still availabe for this model.

Do the panels also have something in the coating on the back that makes the touch sensitive part work?

The glasses are still available from B&O dealers. Cost is around £80 each.
I think you must be on some other planet if you think you can make one or indeed if you think it is worth the effort.
I do know of a cheap supply of these glasses but I will keep it to myself for the time being.😜

Do I take it you do not think it would be an easy job to do then Graham.😂😂😂

Impossible with sufficient level of quality to do the product justice. We are talking about the best range of audio products that B&O have ever produced and anyone messing with one should be locked in the tower!!!!
