Which brings me onto my more challenging project:

32" Avant with a full HD LCD, fed by a mac mini (mounted just behind the back of the 'wall' of the avant) which for the final touch is controlled by my iPhone... and (possibly) having been inspired by Lee's white BeoLab 2, I'll be treating my Avant to a nice white suit!

Oh and did I mention my Overture that will be getting the tape deck taken out and replaced with an Apple dock placed in it for my iPod nano?

fun ahead....

@warren & dp:

I love your ideas!!!!

I have also an older Avant and when I think that this thing could be white, my iphone is the remote and the Overture has an ipod dock...... Great!

Please post some photos from your projects. Many of us would enjoy this.

Many greetings from Austria, Hannes

Hi, I have a 28" avant vcr. It is on its way to be destroyed on Friday but I couldn't just let those amazing speakers go. I took out the whole speaker cabinets and the cables between them and also the two amplifiers on the side of the tv. Is there anything else I would need from the 28" to get these working?

Cheers

James

More interesting project: Leave the Avant with the blown tube intact below the shoulders and take the tube out. Replace it with the appropriate size LCD monitor. I'd really be interested in seeing this!

I'm also waiting for someone to empty out the gorgeous BeoVision 5 and give it proper HD guts! It seems fairly easy considering how the plasma is mounted inside.  

I'm sure that  I saw a converted LCD Avant on eBay earlier in the year.

There were Avant speaker modules (from 28") for sale on eBay

Brilliant conversion.
