Amazing stuff
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 27, 2011 13:46We really are living in a strange parallel Beouniverse when dealers are moaning about a £2000 television being 'too cheap'. When i first thought about buying a Beovision new an MX was £1000 and a Sony was about £500. Now…
Top Gear B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 23, 2011 05:22It simply isn't true to say'most brits' don't watch Top Gear anymore. It's regularly BBC2s highest rating show by a country mile bringing in 5.4 million viewers and would get into the top ten of all television in the UK …

Beomaster 6500 - can't hear me records!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 31, 2011 14:26In another post I was offering for sale a beobundle of goodies. Anyway, thought I better test it all again to make sure all is aok. So, have established the Beocord 6500 sounds fantastic. The battered old beovox 1001s so…

in For Sale · Mar 30, 2011 14:59so the beovox 1001s aren't as bad as my father led me to believe? He had them as rear speakers in his beomaster 4400 setup. Main speakers were massive great beovoxes that would shake the whole row of houses when he crank…

in For Sale · Mar 29, 2011 16:14well I seriously wouldn't advise sending men in white coats around. It's the Beovox 1001s he wanted and I've just got them down from the loft covered in a very unpleasant thick layer of grey dust! White coats not appropr…

in For Sale · Mar 28, 2011 13:55Having a clear out, all funds will go to part finance my 1970 Saab 95! For collection from Mid Devon, or Exeter or even local delivery! Beomaster 6500-all working and in good condition sold! Beocord 6500-seems to be work…
Beogram 9000-good home wanted!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 3, 2010 17:56I could certainly give this a good home and am just down the road in Exeter! Does it have a cartridge fitted at all? Simon
What to do with broken Avant?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 24, 2010 05:34how much is the cost of repair? If it's £500 or so I'd get it done despite the fact it might not seem economically viable. You'd then have a telly that'd be guaranteed and should be good as new and there is still nothing…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 24, 2010 12:51Quite the opposite! The 'R' Leicas have always lived in the shadows of the 'M' cameras. All Leicas are fine machines but after the Leicaflex SL2 there are several Minolta based 'R' cameras which, while still fine picture…
Beosound Century CD not working
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 17, 2009 19:39are the transport screws still fitted? If so that would stop the player working. They should have been fitted before transportation and then removed before playing. Other than this you may have got a duffer I'm afraid.
wobbly old avant!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 15, 2009 15:11I'm going to have to go and have another look! Might be a few days but will report back! Thanks for your help Simon
wobbly old avant!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 14, 2009 13:37thanks Keith. It's a flicker rather than a wobble. Like I say I only saw it myself for the first time the other day and my mother says she doesn't think it's happened before although I suspect this isn't true! The flicke…
wobbly old avant!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 13, 2009 11:16Went to visit my mother yesterday and noticed the picture on her old curved screen avant has developed a flicker/wobble which looks a bit like a picture from a vcr with the tracking out. It seems to happen after the tele…
Crackling noise from the back of avant
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 11, 2009 18:19I stand corrected-you're crackling not boinging! Anyway, I've had a couple of avants and they both have crackled and continue to do so-whatever it is it's nothing to be concerned about!
Crackling noise from the back of avant
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2009 18:12no need to worry-it's meant to do that. The tv is 'degaussing' and is perfectly normal!
Can you give away stuff on the general forum?!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 5, 2009 16:30Well the telly is in Exeter at my mum's house. She's just been upgraded to my old avant and i got a newer avant 32 dvd from B&O Exeter. The one to be given away is fully working and comes with non motorised stand. It als…
Can you give away stuff on the general forum?!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 5, 2009 14:34Hello all, I have a fully working Beovision L4500 that I'd like to give away rather than dump. Question is before I add any details is it forbidden to do so here or does it have to be done through the classifieds? Simon
