Looking forward to seeing/reading some more on this project.Hey Pepps - I'll write up a thread on it in a little while (have many more photos). I'm in the home stretch and just might finish it this weekend! However I will tease one thing... Yesterday I did embark on the re-foaming of the midrange drivers. Mission was successful.

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.
Last night was a late one with sparse meetings which means doing conference calls from the workbench in the garage. In between some of them I designed a new table stand last night to hold a BeoLab 4000 horizontally. Should be done printing when I get home.
If it fits / works well I'll make the design available if anyone is interested.

Looks cool Evan! Will you make use of the ribbed backside of the BL4000s so the position angle can be varied (or will it rely on gravity and friction).

Thanks, Johan! I'm very pleased that it worked on the first iteration. It does indeed have a groove that fits between two of the heatsink fins. It gives a bit of flexibility to the angle. The only thing I might change is its overall angle, I think its too far laid on its back as the on-axis high frequency is reduced quite a bit compared to it standing up vertically as I had before. At any rate, it fits and works great. Check it out:

That is a great constructional work, good looking as well!
Cheers, Kirin! Thank you very much.
For anyone interested in printing their own, I have made the design available

Well it took a while to get back to it...
Here is the tuner board installed in the BM2000:

I had to replace the string as the original had broken, and that was a bit of a nightmare as I'd not done it before. I needed to have quite a lot of tension for the indicator to keep moving, and I'm not sure if it is too much tension, but at least it runs smoothly now from end to end.
It has been around 3 years or so since I started this project, with C19 related things keeping me out the country, but it just about done. Refit of some lamps, resolder another, and fix a couple of the preset tuning dials, and it should be done. I have a plan to fit a bluetooth receiver module and hook it into one of the tape inputs, but that will have to wait. as I will probably head home in a few weeks.

Hooked it all up and...it works, mostly. No FM stereo, tuning lights, and stereo lights don't come on. Though it does find stations in roughly the right places. For the moment though, it's progress.
Cheers, Kirin! Thank you very much. For anyone interested in printing their own, I have made the design available HERE. When I have the time I’ll make another design available where it is more upright with the speakers that are more on-axis.
I like your design, idea and the creativity. Very nice.
But less is more .... so is B&O thinking and had create his own horizontally tablestand. This is very flexible. Do you know this stand?
