Yes, that's a good one Edouard.

Try to be funny like that with your coming pinguins ! (lucky you).

Cheers,

I get excited opening anything from B&O new or old - grief even the tiny box with a powerlink connector was great - sadly I have thrown it away now (the box not the connector) otherwise I could have posted a picture of  it. 

Instead here is an unboxing picture of my beoworld prize draw 1st prize...

Would you like to share with us some photos of when you unbox your new B&O stuffs?

I'm a big fan of such unboxing topics, and you?

Yes! 🙂

This one arrived to me at work today... recognize what it is?

Of course we do 🤒 It's a fat box, did you get both halves from the same place?

I always think its great to see someone excited about their new purchase! What's the difference between this and the 'Flash Your B&O' thread?

Show it off, I say...

Beoworld is really starting to get nasty, so much useless bickering going on.

I love the unboxing threads.  I love seeing everyone's new or old pieces in their homes.  I love seeing Martin's latest 1960s (or earlier find).  Heck, my favorite thread ever may be Mika's moving thread.

I didn't think a single person would be interested in my slapping together some spare lumber to make a Beosystem stand out in my garage.  But I took a few pictures and posted them anyway.  It's my way of saying, "Hey, guys, here's what I'm up to these days."

What keeps me coming back to the site (nearly every day since March or so), is to read other threads that are essentially saying the same thing.  It's also why I periodically post to the "What's playing right now" thread.  I would guess it's why Eugene started the "What are you working on right now" thread.

As to the bickering...I have never understood why anyone would waste their time being negative on an internet forum.  There has to be some better way to spend your time.

Yes: it's the mighty Beolab 5000 + Beomaster 5000 combo! I got both pieces from the same seller. The Beomaster was sold as non-working, thus having a price tag of £50.00! The Beolab had a british plug (and I didn't have any parts at work) so I couldn't test it yet. The seller told it was working and playing, but I have some doubts of it's condition as I could see small amounts of rust around the bottom plate. 

I took the Beomaster home. There was indeed no power, but the fault was soon discovered; the fuses had oxdized themselves out-of-contact with their holders! The holders were soon cleaned and fuses replaced (originals were measured Ok but couldn't be cleaned). Now it's working but the output is spoiled with huge amount of humming (which is there even with BM5000's power off) - bad cap or grounding somewhere?

I deny ANYONE who has kids/grandkids to tell me that they get far more pleasure from playing with the empty boxes than they do from the contents at Christmas.

PART 1:

 

Hi Folks,

As promised, here is a small unboxing review of my all new Beolab 9 black

The following takes place between 3 PM and 6 PM...

Damn it, what's this box from Czech Republic, uh?

No nuclear radiation, now I can remove the white cap

What are these white bars???

Call to CTU: "Hey Chloe, what do uranium bars look like?" Chloe: "Well Jack, they look like uranium bars"...😕

Damn it! What the hell are these penguins?!?! 

Call to CTU: "Chloe, what do we eat for dinner?"

Think I have to control the distances from wall and corner.

Call to CTU: "Damn it Chloe, where do I have to put these penguins to work properly?" Chloe: "For wall position Jack, 65cm far from a corner and up to 20cm far from the wall"

Corner check: ok

Wall check: ok

Hey penguin, you talkin' to me?!?!

Wall + left OK

A box with tools?

Don't worry Mr Penguin that won't hurt! Take a long breathe....

To see what's following.....wait til PART 2

Cheers,
