B&O Mini 47

10 replies
Are there some who know about the "Mini 47"
I know one who has one standing and he wants some more information on that, all the places I found on the Web, there has been very little information.
I think it was produced in 1946, would like to know if some know the number of that produced "Mini 47" and if someone in some ways may have a service manual for it.

and otherwise if I have general info about the product
translatet from link

Hi Blak, the good news (for me) is that i have one, the bad news is that other than that i don't have much more...but the production year should be 1947 (hence Mini 47).

Actually i have serious doubts about the existance of a service manual (back in 1947 i don't think they were much into that) but as far as i know originally the radio could have an envelope in it with the diagram.(Haven't opened mine yet to see if this is the case).

Is there anything specific you like to know about it ?

And i'm not clear on that link: it gives a translation page from English to Dutch, are you Dutch ??

(indien ja: ik ook, je kunt me dus ook in het Nederlands PM-en eventueel).

i just wanna know as much as posible aboute it, this one haven´t been opend to so i don´t know..

i found out that in B&O Service book no. 1, radio 1947 - 1950 Following models: Master 45 P, Grand prix Ch., Mini 47, Master 47, Shaver Sh. 4, Grand prix 48 K, Beolit 48, Mini 48, Grandprix 48 Ch., Maximus 48 K og RG, Master 48 RG, Grand prix 412 K, Grand Prix 413 Ch., Aut.

I'm currently travelling so I cannot check but there's a good chance that I have the original service manual. Any particular problem or question since you need the service manual ?

Don't suppose you would like to scan that one?!

@Blak: don't worry, there's nothing 'unfortunate' about not being Dutch :):)....(at least, it doesn't help with this issue)

@Martin: If only you have the diagram already would be nice, i'd like a copy if possible since i would be surprised if mine is working (and i haven't seen any diagram inside).

These old servicemanuals are from a time when B&O didn't sell servicemanuals.
The authorized repairshops were "lent" them so to speak, they remained B&O property, are clearly marked that way, and was to be returned to B&O when no longer needed.

However, I hope and think that, for this single one, B&O will not take any offense so here are the schematics (Click the picture for a larger view);
