Excellent! Get me two of those please! 

Rudy you are the Master of the Masters. 

Yes. Of course! I can get a few more printed. I'll be happy to supply them. Just send me an email to beolover@gmail.com.

A brief update: I redesigned my laser cut speaker switch adapters for a more satisfying fit without the need for glue. I also made them from thinner plexiglass to avoid the Dremel thinning-step...Details at my blog: 

Here is a little update on my recent progress in the Beomaster 8000 department: I recently refined my method to restore the damping of the volume wheel. I am now using a 3D printed 'paddle wheel' together with damping grease to affect the damping. More details on my link.

Here is a picture of the stereolithography part:

 

Thought I would share this one on my 8000 thread: I created another 3D printed part for the 8000. Three weeks ago I had the strange occurrence that the spring of the control panel lid broke out spontaneously, sending a piece of plastic shrapnel past my head, while I was sitting next to the unit...never knew that Beoloving could be dangerous!!...;-)

And a couple pictures:

 

Very nice one, Rudy πŸ™‚

Soon we'll have a completely 3D printed Beomaster 8000 πŸ˜‚

As an aside, I also admire your work on the Beogram 4000. 

A good time to thank you ruby, I followed your blog step by step for weeks on end to fix up my bm8000 with great success , has been performing brilliantly for a couple months now thanks

and until reading this without the use of safety googlesπŸ˜‚

thankyou it's been invaluable 

Jason 

 and a special thankyou to Martin for doing the led displays which is the only part I chickened out of doing

This is great! I am glad you got your 8000 up to spec! Beolove is in the air...πŸ˜•

Here is another interesting part I recently developed for the 8000: SMD LED boards as replacements for the indicator light bulbs:

Very nice indeed, and professional looking ,

I had followed your first fix with red LEDs and resistor and currenty doing the same on the beocord 9000 , I'd been toying with using white then making some replacement plastic filter covers in either white or green to match the green on the beocord display that I thought may look good
