Henrik, very very nice job! I love the fact you used a 3D printed bracket too. Neat and tidy and as good or better than using someone elses solution.
As for the Beolab 5000s, always nice to see them. One of the nicest speakers of the period and IMO still far better looking than the Beolab 12's.
Beocentre 2600 came with a set of Beovox s45-2's I purchased, it had been used as a garage system and was quite rough. Initially I wasnt going to do any work on it, but a week with a bad cold and no projects soon had me repairing the deck, cleaning pots and a fair degree of work to clean up the metal trims and wooden trim. It looks quite smart now and has a nice sound.
the beocentre looks fantastic, love it

Seconded!
I hope you didn't bin the S45 woofer with the dislodged woofer. That can be fixed, as Lassi has proven.
Finally remembered to snap a few shots of my setup. My speakers were packed away for almost three years and just recently got back up in our new home. So happy to have them back - the sound is just amazingly pleasant. My setup: white BM6500 and CD6500 with BG4500 record player and BL5000 speakers.
Absolutely brilliant setup sir! I am also a BL5K fan for life.
I haven't heard mine in over a year now. That certainly needs to change. Right now I'm pursuing a very involving 'darkside' project that I feel will not beat my current benchmark - the BeoLab 5000. One of these days I will learn to quit this nonsense and just listen to my BL5Ks.

Agreed, that needs to change! I have a pair of CX100's which I used the past three years while my BL5K's were packed away. The CX100's are very good in their own right but getting the BL5K's up again has made me appreciate them even more than I did before 🙂

Beautiful and dont scrap the woofer

Absolutely no intention of scrapping the woofer :)
Its dismantled and sitting in pieces, I need to find a suitable 'tool' to use to shim when I put the magnet back on to the basket, ive tried (without glue) with plastic and picture wire cut into shims but they are either too thick or thin, just need to get a vice and some time to put it back together :)
The BC2600 is nice, its currently paired to my BG4002 and the S45-2's. I dont like the BC2600 it quite as much as my BM1900 though, so it will most likely sit as "backup B&O" along with the spare BM1900 and BG6000 :)

Here is my BC2300 DAB, rescued from a barn, covered in spiderweb and dust. The CD Player wasn't working otherwise it was just in need of a good cleaning.
Changed the laser and then it was working again :)
Unfortunatelly the DAB box is missing, but the Apple Newton was present, it needed cleaning in the battery box and new batteries, but then it also worked again...
It should be able to work with a normal Beolink 1000 remote, but I cannot get it working.. it is responding to the Option programming by blinking the red light, so the IR is working. Talked with the guy who actually build the BC2300 DAB back in the days, but he cannot remember which option it should be in, all he remembers is "that something strange was decided" :)
