ABSOLUTELY!!! We want more! We want more! We want more!

Looks awesome.

It makes the plasma look ridiculously large!

Does it still motor-turn?

Hans,  fantastic job.  Please let's have the technical details of your conversion.  Did you manage to incorporate masterlink control?  If not then I expect it would be quite easy to include a beolink active inside the case and then you would have full integration.  

Waiting with baited breath.

Very nice! Do you now have 2 remotes for the tv?

Lol, in my eyes you have butchered the avant!!

However I truly appreciate your skill and creativity in coming up with this idea and implementing it 🤒

Hi Paj,

First, for me it was the esthetic look not an integration of a Beo masterlink. Be my guest if you have any idea to incorperate it.

I only add an 20+20- power unit for the original B&O amplifiers and speakers 

It is not a question of technical details but more a matter of measuring, cutting and adding on the fly.  

You have to start taking out al the components of the cabinet including the turntable. (This is the easiest part of the project)

1)  Protect the front surface of the cabinet and edges with a soft foam sheet. Keep it clean. 

2) Cut out from the 2 upright inside panels with a smal flat hand saw, the space needed to add the rear panelbox (47x19cm) for the BR and mediabox. Crucial is to have the BR player. The front side of the BR almost fits at the lower side of the existing VHS envelope but not exact. Than at that location you need to make the space wider (43 cm) and sand out (remember at the lower side) aprox on a 45 angel to 1,5 mm from the frontside of the cabinet. Just equeal to the shape of the lower front of the BR. I did that with a smal band sander. Before, you have to protect that aerea with a good quality mask tape (tamiya).

4) Add the fabricated box where you cut out the space with a smal flat saw, guided by a panel under 90 degrees. Remember check twice before you cut. Glue it together with a polyurethaan mounting kit. Be shure to remove the black paint on its location where to glue. If you like you can mill out the back for the rear protection grid. (see picture of the backside ) 

5) The textile panel needs to go up with 6 mm. For that you need to mill out 6 mm of the front of the cabinet at the upside location of the textile panel. In addition al the mounting holes of the textile panel in the cabinet. Keep it a fraction less deep as the original cut out for the panel.

For now enough to start.

Succes
