Hey Chris,

Wow....I  love your black BL1000.

Please be so kind to post a couple of more pics.... one of these would look amazing with my beosystem.
If you ever have a spare one of these ... let me know 🙂

Great job and it's great to see something like that getting a new lease on life. 

Regards,

O.

It is still a little bit of work in progress as I'm waiting for some specialised paint to arrive to recreate the finger pads on the back plate & some replacement rubber feet.

I'll post more pic's on completion. As for wanting one, I can quite easily refurb some other casings when I've perfected this.

Well volunteered, Chris! 😕

Now finished and I'm quite pleased for a first attempt. The back has been sprayed on the "finger plate" sections with rubberised black paint. On reflection I think I should have gone for a dark grey to match the textured part of the battery cover and got some better quality masking tape for a neater edge, but hey - it's for my own use and can live with that🙂

The main thing is it has been in use for almost a month now (with visting grandkids who are typically fascinated with remote controls) and I'm very happy with the durability of the finish.

Another. Those aren't chips to the front edge - it's my camera flash.

Hi Chris,

Don't suppose you're interested in selling it? 😂 😂

How much are they worth?

I have 2 that i dont use, one works and in ok condition the other dosent and has worn buttons.

I also have a 2002 mx8000 that had a new tube courtesy of B&O in 2005 but now has a power supply problem. I feel sorry for the poor thing cos it was rejected by its owner cos he had enough by this point and i gave him £150 for it. He sold the remote on ebay for £75.

My misses said ive got enough but its in white, not a colour id choose myself but i love it so i told her the white ones are a limited edition, only 50 ever made!! Guess wot she said.........

Well you'd better get it then!

Cheeky, but i know you all understand. Dont ya?👍

Funny you should mention that - my next project (Steve at Soundsheavenly knows what I mean🙂) is going to be a white one.

How much are they worth? - as much as someone is prepared to pay. A bit of a cop-out answer but it's the truth. As with all things B&O related cosmetic condition is 90% of the price as these are often the most expensive things to put right.

Steve - you have a PM.

Chris.
