Dear Gang,

It's been several years since I have contributed to a Beoworld discussion, but at one point, I was fixated on the website and B&O products.  In fact, there was a time where I'd check the website faithfully a few times a day (that was the original Beoworld website).  When the region of the USA in which I live was struck by a big hurricane, one of the first things I did when I was able to get some internet (at a Starbucks that had power) was to post on Beoworld to let my Beoworld friends know that I was OK.  I've met several friends via Beoworld, some of whom I still keep in contact with despite now only perusing the website occasionally.

Around the time that the Beoworld site changed (can't remember when that was, maybe 8-9 years ago), life coincidently got busier for me with small kids, job, etc., and that's probably why I've been less involved.  We still have a lot of B&O stuff, but I have many older B&O things that I either purchased off of eBay years ago with the intention of connecting to the digital world, and never used, or used very briefly.  I want to give those things away rather than throw them away as they're iconic B&O stuff and some of y'all can either find a use for them, restore the things that need restoring, or use them for parts.

If any of y'all would like the following, or have recommendations for independent B&O repair shops (if those still exist in the USA) that I could donate these items to, please let me know.

I have the following that I'd like to give away:

-three pairs of BeoVox S45 loudspeakers - one pair has a non-original cover on them

-three BeoMaster 5000 Tuner / Amplifier units with Master Control Panel 5000 units

-one BV-8 32" with a broken LCD panel (not the glass on the front, but the Samsung LCD panel within)

-one BeoVision MX5500 which was purchased restored from Soundsmith about 13 years ago and used in my office briefly.  Some friend at B&O found me the motorized stand for it, too.

The only stipulation is that whomever wanted this stuff would need to arrange to pick it up as I live in south Alabama.

If anyone wants this stuff or knows someone who might, please respond to this thread with contact info (or PM me if that function exists on this site).

Thank you for any help,

Beonut 1 (Mark)
