Hi All,

 

 

Today is THE day I've been waiting for.

 

The Beolab 5000 has arrived from Germany.  

 

When I saw it for the first time on Ebay Germany, I couldn't believe my eyes.

A Beolab 5000 in very good condition, with all the documents, user manual, Beolab 5000 book, service book, test certificate and a warranty card all in German language.

 

When I unpacked the set, I was very pleased to see that it's almost in mint condition.

Only the little rubber feet show some cracks due to aging.

 

Finally,   I've a complete set.

 

For those who are wondering about the colored dots on the master 5000, I've also included the pictures of the station markers.  

To my surprise, I also found the original price list of the 5000 system, in DM (German Marks) .

 

 

Rudy

Wonderful find - I must confess to hating the sticky labels put on the tuning scales though - a Beomaster 1700 tuner of mine had some on and theywere a pig to get off!

The big question will be, which Beogram are you going to get to match the system and do you have the speakers?!

Hi Peter,

I'm also not so lucky with the sticky labels, but these were already on when I bought the Beomaster 5000.

I've got already a pair of Beovox 5000 MKI speakers.

A good Beogram, will be the next item to look for.

Maybe a  Beogram 3000 ???

Let's hope that sooner or later one will show up for a decent price.

 

Rudy

I'm sure Jacob Jensen became very fond of the person who came up with the idea for those station markers!
