Wow Leslie, you are making some outrageous progress! Really curious on how you changed your 2500/Overture display to read 'IPOD' as a source!!!😉

Not that difficult, just a matter of reprogramming the eprom and change data from TP to xxxx

hmmmm, think I'm gonna try this on my Beosystem 4500 to let Beolab 3000 flatpanel read Ipod and change the text on my glasspanel with Ipod😁

Cool! Ever tried it on Beolab Penta? Do you have the equipment to reprogram it yourself?

Anyway, doing some spring cleaning!

Leslie,

Looking at your fine work you seem to be the man to ask this. I got my hands on a beomaster that looked like it was stored somewhere very humid. It had rust all over the bottom plate. I had it sanded and powdercoated. Now it's all shiny, but the lettering is gone. I would like to restore that to, but do not know how. What method do you use for lettering. Considering your attention to detail it must be the way to do it!

To answer both dillen and leslie's questions. It is the bottom plate of a beomaster 2200. It's nothing special. But I wanted to see what could be done for what cost and it seemed like the perfect candidate for an experiment. I have added two pictures that I think will show the difference.quite well. If you look closely you will see that the surface is not completely flat on the rust spots after powder coating. That is because the rust had eaten into the metal. This kind of thing most likely kan be repaired to if you really want to, but for something that is on the inside I choose not to investigate that.

Before, note the rust and peeling paint in the top and bottom right, these were not the only spots

after sand blasting and powder coating, same corner

Still need lettering and an arrow for the voltage selector. I've read several instructions on decals and silkscreening and the like, but I do not know what would work best. I'm in my first attempts at cleaning up "vintage" equipment. So tips on lettering are welcome
