I took this photo to show our recently installed link, but you can also see our BeoSound 3000 in the corner of our livingroom.  I use the bamboo sticks to help hide the antenna.  In the drawer, I keep the remote when not in use and a generation 1 Apple TV connected to the aux for Airplay music.  I might be changing the arangement since I think the AppleTV draws 25 watts of power even when not in use.  The design of the Nest really complements the B&O, compared to our previous beige box thermostat.

I have a Nest also. An amazing thermostat.

This looks fantastic! If my employer (Honeywell) sees that😁

Looks like Honeywall has taken notice.  I hope it doesn't put Nest out of business.  We have 4 of them, but I still need another one for our library.

The first one I find pretty humorous: 

U.S. Patent No. - this patent was filed in 2006 (issued 2009) and covers displaying grammatically complete sentences while programming a thermostat.

This looks far and far better, where have I seen this model before🤔

Is this AM or FM ? 😎

50 to 80 sounds like meters, so it would be lower SW... mostly radio amateurs and military over here, I believe 😁

Looks like the prototype BS5 display from 1938. At the bottom you have N.MUSIC album mode , at the top N.RADIO stations.

To the left you can see the four colored favourite lists. If you turn the needle very fast it will activate the MOTS function. MOTS was driven by a little steam engine at that time, so it took some time to heat up the machine.👍

😉 I never realized the colours are the same... and in the same order!

I think the first modern appearance of the coloured buttons concept was with FASTEXT short cut selections in the Teletext system; this feature is from the early '90s (probably specified late in the '80s) so it will predate the Beo4. But I can't believe anybody would've done it earlier than the '30s scale artist at B&O!

What an amazing piece of trivia! Thanks for spotting it Stefan! 😂
