Currently working on 2 penta's , all 8 mids need new foam .
First time doing this so fingers crossed .
cleaning took several hours , but now all stickyness is gone ready for new foam surrounds .
Once again, I don’t seem to be the target audience for the latest offerings. 😉 (However, I really like the cabinet)The shots on that page are CGI. Maybe they wait for the target audience" to exist before launching the actual recreation!

This will probably have divided opinions.
After renovating quite a few Beolink 5000, my BL5K Brother in Arms and I have been working on a white version of a Beolink 5000 that B&O never produced.
This is number 2, judge for yourself!

This can be due to the photo representation. Maybe it looks better in real life. If one should do a comparison to the official whiteB&O remotes, the MCP 6500 has white background for the black button and the Beoremote one have the buttons so close that there is no background, so any comparison to what it would look like" if it was an official product is difficult. I also remember seeing a white Beolink 1000 once. Not sure if it was an official one, but I also think the top plate was white on that. I however fully understand that you do not wan't to change the top plate because of the Bang & Olufsen text.

Just for you I've attached the requested comparison with the white MCP 6500 and yes the white BL5K is a little bit "off white". You are absolutely right that the top plate should have been white as well but as you say then the Bang & Olufsen text will disappear and I've no clue how to added it again afterwards /steffen

Beocenter 4600 - it is in great condition, cassette, radio and record deck work and it came with a half decent MMC20S - when powered up no sound and lights were dead. Fuse had blown on the amp/power supply board, I replaced the fuse and the lights lit up and i got sound from one channel, but smoke came from a resistor. Replaced it and another but the same effect - looks as if it is the transistors on the heatsink as i tested a couple, so I am replacing them all. I should point out that this is a very steep learning curve and I am learning as I go along and no doubt I will need some advice.
