Ok, So I could get that Beogram 1202 for mini-money.
Perfect deck for me as it combines BG3000 quality with BG1203 platter that I like more. Will replace my Frankengram built with this two aforementioned decks and give each one their original parts (yes it's three decks in total 😁).
The deck as a lot of problem, I'll try to address one by one thanks to Soren's thread and any help I could find here later…
For now, Lets do with what my skills allows. Luckily the deck came with his cover. Unfortunately the little B&O Badge was missing.
Lets try to solve this:
1-Taking measures of the square hole and the original badge. Fortunately I had a real model with my BC1200 cover.
Size is 14x17 mm.
2-Trace it on computer and print it reverse on transparent paper.
3-On the printed side stick some aluminium paper adhesive tape.
Looks good so far:
4-Stick Double side adhesive on the back of the aluminium.
5-Cut along the crop marks, peel the double side tape and voilà! (may need some attemps to stick the aluminum without folds).
The genuine one is not alu but silver. Well I thought its better than grey!
Cheers!

That's a very nice replacement badge! 🤒
Itry to put new ebony veneer on my Beovox:
Did you spray the battery cover also?Decided to fix two old Beo4s. I took both apart for a good clean, sanded all of the coating of the bodies off and sprayed them with MoTip heat resistant black. This paint has a bit of texture and needs to be baked at 160 degrees for hardening (it smells a bit so I put it in the oven AFTER the lasagna). I combined the best parts to a now brand new looking and feeling Beo4. I hope the paint will be a bit durable. The other Beo4 got all the problems: worn letters on the keypad, a display with missing pixels, a damaged display bezel and a battery cover missing some hooks :-) It still works fine though.
Hi leosgonewild! No I did not spray the batterycovers. I do have an update however. The spraypaint did not last long. Even with the 'baking' the sharp edges wore off fast. I dismantled all my Beo4s (somehow I always break the battery wires and have to solder :-( ) and took them to a powdercoating shop where they were coated with a black, light textured coating. They are now really finished well and lasting for months.
I paid 75 euro for 5 bodies. The company mostly coats wheels of cars, quite durable coatings.
I will next time ask to hang them upside down up when the powder is sprayed on: I had to scrape out some of the coating to fit the display, there was too much powder built up in the corners there.
At first I tought the texture was a bit too coarse, but I like them a lot now.

Once upon a time I changed some 80's tan interior pieces in a car to black using can of spray paint, and prepping with ESP (https://www.tradepaintdirect.co.uk/products/owatrol-esp-easy-surface-preparation - I think this is the same stuff, different tin, but whatever). Really got great adhesion, and even on high wear parts like door handles, never wore off.
