Which Oil?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2012 14:46The beauty of French polishing is it really enhances the natural grain & figuring of wood & gives a tough long lasting & easy to maintain finish. It requires stripping off any old polish & varnish back to bare wood - use…
Which Oil?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 25, 2012 09:24Danish oil seems to be the choice of many of Beoworlds speaker restorers Stephen. You need to keep up with it though, re-apply annually I believe. Personally I always French polish my speaker restorations but this is qui…

Refoaming Beovox S80
in The Workbench · Feb 23, 2012 07:06Congratualtions Leslie I'm sure you are happy with your method of refoaming - but you should see the state of some CX50/100 drivers I have received which were refoamed using the "shimless" method. Just because you claim …
Refoaming Beovox S80
in The Workbench · Feb 23, 2012 02:19I feel the need to add my own comments here. Experience has taught me that whenever possible you should ALWAYS shim when refoaming drivers. It is the ONLY way to guarantee correct coil centering & height of the cone when…

S-55 woofer reconing/refoaming service reccommendations
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 20, 2012 05:54Welcome to Beoworld rick48. While you're at it I would recommend replacing the capacitors in the crossovers, it will make a very noticable difference. Don't bother connecting these to your Becenter 2200, they will be was…
Grounding BG1700 to BM901
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 6, 2012 14:30Why RCA? I can only assume someone has removed the original plug? The original output lead of the BG1700 had a DIN plug - the outer metal casing/shield of the DIN plug is the grounding point to the input socket on the 90…
Beomaster 8000 connection to Pentas II
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 26, 2011 08:08Take out the Lab 150 amps & displays & sell them on ebay. This will give you a pair of passive penta's making best use of your set up & you will probably also get more money for these than you paid for the entire speaker…

Did anyone notice these?
in eBay - the right way! · Dec 10, 2011 08:46The metal panels on these are bog standard (thin guage) polished stainless steel - a decent metal fabricator should be able to make replacements for not a lot of money. They are attached with double sided tape I think. T…
Did anyone notice these?
in eBay - the right way! · Dec 9, 2011 14:32Heyup Ray - good to see you back. 🙂 I saw these but had to dismiss them due to the distance from Leeds. Last time I drove to Devon it cost me £150 in fuel - add the 10+ hour round trip & it wasn't worth it. It does high…

Beoworld - Facebook group
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 24, 2011 14:25I very very rarely use Facebook & only when a distant family member uses it to pass on information. I don't like the site & certainly wouldn't be interested in a Beoworld home page. Chris.
Brand new MMC4/5
in BeoGram · Nov 23, 2011 18:13Put it this way - if someone was asking advice on whether to buy this cartridge using your last photo as evidence of condition, I would definately tell them to forget it. I think we should also say that this isn't at all…
