Beolit Speaker
in General Discussion & Questions · May 9, 2009 03:53Hi You need to contact Tim Jarman at beocentral.org This is a very common problem and tim in the past fixed my beolit 600 by reworking the original speaker. Basically, you cant buy identical speakers and i dont think any…
Polite Question!
in eBay - the right way! · May 1, 2009 01:23Boxed Mint 4500 with mmc2. The insurance alone was £25. To be totally honest, if they'd offered £700 delivered, i would take it. I could understand if they'd said the deck was expensive, but they didnt mention that, just…
On-Line Pre-Owned B&O Dealers
in General Discussion & Questions · May 1, 2009 01:19Hi Vikinguk Having seen your post here, I've just found your question in the messages box on ebay. We tend to monitor the ebay emails, but didnt get one for your question. Not sure why. The bv1 didnt have a motor in it a…

would this be a good move
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 16, 2009 15:55£200-250 buys you a beocenter 2500 in the uk. On a good day, it'll get you an Ouverture for that money. However, if second hand b&o is thin on the ground in NZ, then you'll probably have to pay a premium for it.
BeoVision 3 - How long is a standard guarantee valid on tv from new?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 14, 2008 04:53Standard guarantee is 2 years. They do have periods when 4 year warranties are given, but these are promotions rather than the norm. In the past, they'd rather add value to the sale, rather than drop prices!!
Cabinet Price
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 26, 2008 07:22Mine came from camberley and was £70. It was described as excellent and i struggled to find any marks on it. On the cabinet itself, what you would think is a big door, doesnt actually open. Just the top smaller door open…
stupid avant question
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2008 14:16LX and MX tv's are exactly the same. Same tube, same guts. Just different speaker layout and casing. No reason why LX should live longer than an MX.
Beoworld Appeal
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 11, 2008 15:17I bought a couple of mugs soon after they were available and they've managed to survive my mother, so they must be good!!

MX back cover compatibility...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 15, 2008 07:38I think so. I fitted a mx8000 back to a mx7000 by removing a couple of strengthening lugs that got in the way. So i guess it should the other way around. Brett
How old is my Avant?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 13, 2008 13:22The first two digits of the serial number give the year of manufacture. I'm sure there is a FAQ on it somewhere on the site. Graham1982 is correct regarding the dates. They are conceptual rather than dates of manufacture…
Form 1 parts
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 13, 2008 13:15I bought 3 pairs of form 1 pads from the vegas dealer only 6 months ago. I then got home and was told by that they were still available from uk dealers. I may have been wrong about the headphones still being available. B…
Beogram 3000 Packaging disaster
in BeoGram · Jul 13, 2008 12:41If you buy a beogram 3000 or similar, always get the seller to take out the platter and put it under the record deck in the packaging. The very first one i bought on ebay ended up with a snapped arm and broken stylus. Th…
32"Avant T84XX (vhs type) replacement tube, affordable solution found !!
in The Workbench · Jul 13, 2008 12:25I can quite see why you would wish to change a tube if you live in a country where second hand avants are rare or expensive. However, in the UK they are a dime a dozen and you can buy a fully working avant for £200 with …
Form 1 parts
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 12, 2008 01:26The foam pads are still available from your B&O dealer. I think the Headphones are still available also.

Does Beogram 5005 have built-in RIAA pre-amplifier?
in BeoGram · Jul 9, 2008 13:07The guts are the same as the 7000, except it doesn't have the RIAA. You need a 3500,4500,6500 or 7000 if you want an RIAA built in. 3000,3300,5005,5500,8000,8500 & 9500 & TX2 dont have an RIAA fitted.
