Thank you Søren. 

Did you have the BEOLAB 5000 system in Mexico now, or did your son still have it at home?

Hi Henrik, I have the system here in my workshop, tested and playing very good (only by ear, no measurements done), as I plan to visit DK later this month I then will visit Frede to see his workshop and get some tips on repair and restore, and then I will start restoring it, slow and hoping to get it as near Fredes quality as possible, the first Beolab system I restored I bought on the US bay and sold it to Jeff (Piaf) in Canada, the first system you found for me is playing here every day after restore only missing some lamps, I hope to see you when I am in DK, will come back with dates for my visit. I wil also be looking for a BG 4002 when in DK. Good to see you more active on the forum, keep them coming

Some time ago i bought this beolit 1000,it was not very nice.

I started by grinding the scale frame and the handle and giving it a matte clear coat.

 

 

Then it was the turn of the buttons,they were sanded and painted.

Now ii looks like this.
