Coming home to the City, I had one day rest before going to Aguascalientes some 500 Km northwest of La ciudad, but I found time to unpack. Here one of the Beovox M70s.

Looks nice, no bigger problems getting it to look very well. Here both of them, check my small Beovox 3702 in the back with the beautiful red vine colour, NOT red as some members has mentioned..

As I have a good workshop I am sure I will get the trumpet stands looking, if not perfect at least better. The M70s has a bad tweeter but there Rich came in and shipped me one for free, thank you Rich, but upon checking i found Both the phase link drivers frozen, no movement what so ever with the 3 finger press and release test, so probably a loose magnet, hoping the drivers are OK after repair. But the price was good so making new frets and repairing the drivers makes as good winter evening fun. I ordered the caps for the crossovers, the grill cloth are there, or maybe I go looking for something like Richs hurricane design.

Nice looking speakers and stands but they will look 100% better by the time you finish with them. They are a great addition to your collection...Congratulations.

Having a pair myself, I will eagerly follow this new Mexico thread! 

They will give your 2400/4000/4400 a whole new sound dimension. Luckily you were able to get yours with the stands.

I agree. These are monitor-class speakers and their sound is really first-class. After I did the crossovers, I did not perceive any change in character. When measured, the capacitors were still within tolerances. Perhaps because they were used regularly? They came from a house clearance and there were two pairs. The Beomaster 6000 had already been sold, unfortunately.

I would like to find cheap P30s or 45s as rear speakers. I use s45-2s, they are a match, but not in size!

Enjoy their restoration Søren!

PS: please replace those horrid rusty screws, that's the first thing I do when restoring old equipment!

I have both.  The P45 is significantly larger than the P30, as well as a better sounding piece.  However, it seems a waste to use the P45 as just a rear speaker.  They deserve a place of honor, especially if you have to fix stuck woofers!  But then again, the P45 and M70 use the same tweeter, so I suspect they would be a good match in the same system.

I don't mean to put down the P30.  It is a nice little speaker, but probably needs to be in a smallish room.  I use mine for testing vintage receivers when I first get my hands on them (Jacques:  see my McIntosh MAC 1500 thread over at TapeHeads).  Their cabinets are really chewed up, so it wouldn't be a great loss if I fry them.

I love big Macs, especially valve ones. Never found at that price here... You can muliply by 10 easily.
