BS Century

16 replies

Hi , just bough a really poor cosmetic/mechanical condition bs century , even tough is 75% working ( cd is completely dead , not spining ) but i love . Its a little bit tatty , will need to change fabric on speakers covers, there is also missing front glass panel, and thats the question, does anyone know where can i get it from ? can be used ( cheaper = better ) Erm..

 

Regards

Mike

finding a used door will be rather impossible. why not order a new one? they are still available and not that expensive, they will ask you for the serial number of your century as there were two different versions of the glass door assembly.

and regarding the speaker covers: these can be reclothed in any color, just unscrew them a the back and take them off, they can be completely disassembled in four pieces. you just need a very thin fabric, similar to the fabric of the other beolabs.

Try Leslie on this forum, he will be able to help you with the door and brackets for same

Thanks for reply ,  Just finished reclothing speaker covers , using greay women leggings burned into frames with soldering iron  lol overall cost = 2 pounds 50 pens and few mills of lighter fuel  πŸ˜ 

Regarding the buy of new doors , I bet they will be more likely +-80 pounds , that makes them expensive to me, as spending half of my weekly wage does not makes me to smile :P. So i rather keep looking for 3rd party replacement or used one of ebay 

 

Just to mention that this BS Century cost me 25 pounds :) i think, that's a good deal even tough cd is not working

Pictures please, maybe I can have a laugh to? 😁

If you still have the metal bracket it might be a cheap option to by a glass teinted door  with same size chamfered edges (approx. 15E).

Do you think clear cast perspex acrylic cut to the size you provide will do ? or it have to be glass ?
