THIS is some kind of piece!

Lovely! Congratulations!

Thanks a lot.

Now there are (at the moment 🙂 ) only 4 B&O models more, which I want to have in my collection.

Then I have to hibernate my hobby...

Where did you get those? 😉

I´ve got it from a dying old man in Uppsala, Sweden.

He bought an equipment comprising Beolab 5000, Beomaster 5000, 2 x Beovox 5000 and 2500 Cube (but not Beogram 3000) 1968 and used the things right to until for two years ago. When he recently got his death sentence (lung cancer, COPD. Do not smoke, kids!) he advertised the remaining parts (his daughter ”burnt up” the Beolab many years ago) on that national ad site “Blocket”. He wanted an offer, so I gave a bid that he accepted. This Saturday I drove my SAAB from Örebro to Uppsala (175 km single way) in order to retrieve the things. The man served coffee and told some stories about the B&O-, played his music for me and shed a tear when I wore away the things.

Thank you Leif, for the confidence. I will take care of your stuff as good as you have done.

Great story, good to hear it has gone to someone who will treasure it as well!

X 2.

Best regards

What a nice but also sad story. Good for the Beosystem to get in the good hands but sad to hear one old school B&O-person will left us...

Anyhow congratulation for the beautiful set!

If I am not wrong you already own a Beosystem 5000 now you have  the cubes too. Please let us know your impressions about sound with and without cubes.

A sad story, but fortunately its current custodian will treat the system with care and it will be used. If not, you have my address.😁
