Beautiful work Dave ! Thanks for sharing.

As long as you don't make money with this B&O personalized switch, you're safe

@ Minuscat : You ask an important question. But where's the limit?
Are you a cat? 😕
So why didn't you use your photo for your avatar?
Would you like cats use your photo as their avatar?

By the way, does this drawing belongs to you?

"Are you a cat?"
Are you seriously asking me this?

"So why didn't you use your photo for your avatar?"
Why should I?
And why don't you?

"Would you like cats use your photo as their avatar?"
Now, what kind of question is that?

"By the way, does this drawing belongs to you?"
Who cares, I didn't put a logo belonging to someone else on it, did I?
And do yours?

But if I'm not mistaken we aren't talking about avatars, are we?
We are talking about using a well-established and widely known design-related companys registrered
trademark logo on something they didn't authorize, let alone make.
I would be cross.

Hopefully reading my post above it explains it, if the forum mods think this is inappropriate please remove my post.

Thanks

I think that copyright laws are fairly flexible when it comes to one-offs and copies for private use.

Start selling or marketing and you are in trouble.

I think it looks great! Better than the flimsy plastic aux expander they made themselves. I don't think they will be bothered by an enthusiast who makes a "counterfeit" B&O switch to match his other equipment. Commenting on using the B&O logo in this way is just, to stay in animal terms, sheepish.

Come on, Minuscat !

I just took your sentences and changed B&O by cat...

You can understand that I'm just kidding, can't you?

Yeah I get it.
Just kitten...

Meow, meow.

I assume Minuscat has another identity on the forum too. He uses Minuscat when he wants to act as a Watchdog, I have never seen him give help or good advices, he probably uses his other identity for that. On the other hand his posts does give a lot of comments and liven up the forum a little.

I myself copy, steal pics and copyrighted material for private use and for helping others. In my opinion if something is published on the internet it is free to use for private purposes, if the publishers dont want it to be used they can protect it or sell it for a fee.

BTW Dave: Nice job the source selector looks a lot better that way and I would like to have the key tag.

The story above reminds me of the day I put a Ferrari batch on my pedal car, it looked so much cooler and

I'm sure it sounded better and went faster too.

What device are you using?

 

Sorry can't remember off hand I'll have a look through my ebay purchases and get back to you. Only cost around £12.95 IIRC and there are a few similar models - I choose this one as it was four way with a flat front panel which is what I wanted for this 'project'

My question was actually to your first posting, about your troubles with posting Pictures. I was asking what device you were using since you could not post Pictures. But you have answered that now - and also what switching device you use. Thank you. 🙂" /> 

Very nice job. It looks good 🤒 And don't worry that B&O will sue you for using their logo.
