Help! Polished through the brushed aluminium panel

16 replies

Yeah... that is really a pity.

There are three options.

1. keep them... live with it. It will remind you never to do similar things again Erm..

2. re-anodise... I am in DK so I don't know this company. But visit their webpage. They can strip them down and re-anodise. The stripping process will etch some of the texture away on the complete surface. So the texture/brush pattern will be reduced. But why not call them. Tell the story... and who knows... maybe they will do it really cheap because they understand the shitty situation. Maybe they can re-brush them as well. I would imagine they can. https://www.techmetals.co.uk

3. Buy replacements...

Good luck.

Those are good ideas! Thank you.

 

I'll try ringing a company that might do it and see what they say. Otherwise it's probably live with it unless I can get a very cheap replacement. I got this in a bulk buy with some other B&O products, and this was the only one that survived the shipping without some irreparable damage, so I was hoping I could fix it up cheaply so as not to make it a total loss </3

A very cheap replacement?
In other words not worth it for me to have a look in the dungeons then.

In Denmark you find them for 20 pounds... but that does not help you much in Northern Ireland... and shipping is pricey.

Keep in mind that the logo will go away if the panels are re-anodised. And the plastic parts must be removed first.

Have a look at this:

Have a nice evening.

Don't worry about it Martin, I'm sure they will find out the hard way!

Thanks for the help guys but I think I'm just going to live with it. I know they're not worth all that much as far as beomasters go, so in my case I don't think it's worth spending a lot more on it just to bring it back up to acceptable condition where it wouldn't be worth much more than the replacement parts themselves.
