So a mere reseller of a B&O product takes it personally..

No, I know my place!  I'll just crawl back under my stone then..

As for the thread - I'd lock it myself if there was a clear point of view by everybody.  As i said in my original post, it's a grey area.

It hasn't deprived B&O of a sale, nor will it as long as the OP doesn't sell it on.  Fake Rolex, Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc makes me sick as it's clearly defrauding the company which invests millions in design, research and brand building (which annoyingly has made the fakes desirable in the first place..) - thus making it rather pointless having the real thing if you can afford it (and are buying it as a status symbol).

As mentioned, it doesn't sit well with me putting a B&O frame on a Panasonic screen.  If the OP's friends are impressed by it, great. More fool them. If you're daft enough to believe a C-Class Mercedes with skinny wheels, cloth seats and a single exhaust pipe is an AMG creation just because some gonk has slapped a badge on the boot, then you're not worth trying to impress by having the real thing anyway.

please someone close this thread. It is not about B&O, it is about how to fake a B&O.  Hilton can do whatever he wants, but I think it is too much.....

I'm with folkdeejay here. I don't really see how this is any different from buying any visible B&O spare part or making a replica Beovox stand.

Personally, I don't care what happens here - I don't think I'll need a BV4-65 frame in my life, and it sure as **** wouldn't be a golden one - but I'm worried that making a huge fuss here may affect our ability to get any spares through a dealer, and that would be a catastrophe for the entire hobby.

Selling the resulting Frankenvision on as a genuine B&O would of course be a fraud, but whether the frame was sourced as a spare or from a parted out dead BV4 doesn't make any difference there - thus, I don't see that scenario as an argument here.

But if you need a forged serial number or bribing to get that stupid frame, take that crap out from the forum. I don't want to hear about it.

No need to lock the thread, hopefully we are all much bigger than that!

As the OP seems to have now found a source for his frame regardless of folk's opinion, we should now leave this thread to fall away down the listings and out of mind.

beleave it or not but i have had 3 x BV 4 in the past.

i was happy with all of them i have owned the 50 and the 42" but i have sold them as i buy and sell B&O gear as a hobbie.

Oh, and it's going to be any different when you're done with this embarassment you're creating?

It's astonishing how many people aren't putting 2 and 2 together here. 

Interesting reflection on values in this thread as the “do what makes you happy” philosophy gets supported by the “grey area” declaration. And while we try to use polite words like replica or simulated; a fake is a fake.

I’m not sure what shade of grey area is involved here. The television is either a B&O or it isn’t, and I really applaud the dealers that are standing up for the integrity of the brand and not helping to make this fake B&O a reality. Their posts have been justifiably blunt and there should not be a shred of apology called for or offered.  The area of fake product doesn’t look so grey to B&O and a dealer who helps facilitate fake products might have a very difficult time keep the dealership.

It seems that the OP doesn’t seem to want to sell his PanaOlufsen, but instead he seems to want to create this creature for his own use. As I stated in a previous post to this thread, it is akin to the guy who purchased a Mercedes S430 and upgrades the car with S600 badges. Unfortunately, none of these people will be able to experience the quality of the actual product. (Mercedes is having a particularly prickly time with people getting the Maybach badges and putting them on standard models.)

Since I cannot afford to purchase new B&O, I have chosen to purchase used equipment from the dealer instead of creating my own. I make carefully planned purchases from the dealer and I could not be happier. For the money that the OP is putting in faking this product, he might be able to work with a dealer to find a nice piece of used genuine equipment.

Like with anything else fake though, you may be able to fool others but really you are only fooling yourself!  I understand the aesthetic reason behind his desires, but thats where the magical experience with B&O ends 

I am not sure how we ended here.

We actually had discussed something like this before. Maybe one can look at it like a nice little DIY project.

It's for sure not done by just slapping the screen on. One will have to deal with the glass and Beo4 control and so on. That will take a lot of energy.

👍

perhaps this is why B&O reached the brink...
