Just got a hold of a near mint! condition Beolink 5000 MKI today, for aprox 100 euro's :)

The screen works 100%, but the display had been loose one point in time, and had been glued back on, the job was not very good, so i dissasembled the whole thing, took out the display (very gently so not to tear the connection), cleaned everything with water and soap, not the boards but all ruber button things/plastic and frame, it was all very greasy, but now everything is like new. I removed all the old tape from frame and display, and reatached the display using 2way bonding tape, like used when attaching carpets. Cut out fine pieces with a sharp knife.

I had a BL5000 from new in 1993 together with a BM7000/CD7000, and i feel like i in a timemachine now, its just like riding a bicycle, everthing is in the hands still, it is so easy to use, and i love my 2-way control with my recently bought BM7000/CD7000 again :)

Because the down time gives you time to really enjoy them 😂

True. Plus it's quite some hassle swapping TVs, the cables, masterlink etc. Takes time to get right - easier done when you and the dealer install team can spend a couple of hours or so getting it right.

Well the dealer in Toulouse will be very happy this chistmas after Edoaurd and Phillippe came to visit him :-))

Indeed, and this is a little bit thanks to BeoWorld:  Edouard moved to Toulouse 3 years ago, and it was not until 2 weeks ago that we met as BeoWorld fellows.. And what better place than the B&O store for that purpose?!

But I must say that Edouard has been the best ambassador of the BL9 he owned at that time (just before switching to BL5) and this leading to that eventually came out as a pair of BL9 being lent by Tristan, the sales associate of Toulouse B&O store, for a real environment home test.

Test passed, and BL9 ordered! You know the rest... ;-)

It's always before x-mas, when I get my B&O stuff

Happy new year! 🙂

Hmmm... I must admit that I have already bought a "new" Bang & Olufsen product for my collection in 2012. 😎 Found a AV7000 US-Version here in Denmark, and that was an opportunity I couldn't miss - The only one I've ever seen for sale in Denmark, is the one I have now! It has stood unused in a garage or so for many years as far as I can see (Probably because of the 120V?) as it has some rust on the underside and smells a bit odd... maybe like an old cellar... But it is 100% functional (I use it with my B&O Power Supply RT12 until I get it converted to 230V) and in very good condition too; I can only find very, very few marks on it.

I hope 2012 will be a good Beo-Year! 🙂
