Beoworld members have ordered restored panels for Beolab 5000 and Beomaster 5000 from me - Classic Audio over the time.
I have discovered a problem on some items of the latest shipment from the factory which I have not seen before.
The issue is "smeared" text.
I you have panels where you think the text have this problem, you can very easily remove the problem.
You can clean your panels with isopropyl alcohol.
Your panels can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol because the new restored panels the text is anodised.
