D I Y foam replacement on S120s. Step by step with photo's....... by Andy T
in The Workbench · Apr 2, 2011 08:35What a brilliant thread. It took me about a year to get round to it from start to finish, but I bought a pair of rotted teak S45s off eBay for a tenner and have just finally finished the refoaming job, and hooked them up…
I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew this time...
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 17, 2010 10:16[quote user="Medogsfat"] Re:- the scraping turntable. Are the transport screws fully released? Chris. PS, am I right in assuming this was the "Last chance" ebay sale that was going to the tip if no one bought it? There's…
What's better - an MX6000 or an Avant 28?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 16, 2010 05:29[quote user="DrewSavage"] Well, I have to say the Avant 32 is one of the best things I've ever bought! Looks great, fantastic picture quality, and the only problem was it nearly killed three of us getting up the stairs t…
Free to good home - Beomaster 2400, Beogram 2402 and Beovox S55 speakers
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 16, 2010 05:28As I'm about to move house, into a smaller flat, and need to downsize, I thought I'd see if anyone on here would like to give a home to some of the vintage B&O stuff that Peter was kind enough to give me when I was start…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 15, 2010 09:36[quote user="tournedos"] [quote user="DrewSavage"] It is just about the biggest remote control in the world ever, though... would it be possible to control it using a Beo4 or a Beolink 1000 instead, or are they different…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 15, 2010 09:11Hey, the master control panel works and everything! 😁 It is just about the biggest remote control in the world ever, though... would it be possible to control it using a Beo4 or a Beolink 1000 instead, or are they diffe…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 14, 2010 12:27Thanks Peter - yes, the sound on the record deck seems amazing to my untrained ears, even with the turntable scrape... it's a little bit discoloured and the perspex is a little scarred but I seem to remember reading on h…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 14, 2010 11:43I've just bought something off eBay which I hope will be a bargain... it's a complete Beomaster 5000 system that I got for just over £50. Obviously for that price it's not fully functioning but the faults seem to be mech…
Can anyone tell me what I've bought?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 14, 2010 11:18I nearly bought them too! Glad that they ended up with someone on here that knows what to do with them...
Fixing a Beomaster 2400-2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 14, 2010 11:17Thanks Martin - yes, it's a very kind offer and I may well eventually take you up on it. But as the Beomaster weighs several tons then I guess it might be better to try and find someone a bit nearer home at first. Would …
Fixing a Beomaster 2400-2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 8, 2010 10:14Hello again everyone... I'm the proud owner of a Beomaster 2400-2, which Peter incredibly kindly gave me after I shared my bad experience on here that I'd had with a Beocenter 2200 I bought on eBay (which turned out to b…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 25, 2010 21:43[quote user="ouverture"] when you say "Red Eye" , do you mean a B&O DVD Controller ?? like these recently sold ones on ebay - item number 110465442451 or 170440129761 [/quote] Yes, that's the one - mine was 220558144342.…

What's better - an MX6000 or an Avant 28?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 25, 2010 18:36[quote user="Friedmett"] If the DVD1 aint connected by scart it will not work with a Beolink remote. The remote signal comes from the Beovision to the DVD1 or whatever is connected. Its funny when you look at ads for dvd…
Hoping for advice on Beovision LX2800
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 25, 2010 17:46[quote user="Dillen"] You can select the SCART by pressing Shift TV 2 on a Beolink 1000, I would think it's the same on the Video Terminal. Martin [/quote] Thanks Martin - sadly it isn't, as there isn't a shift button on…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 25, 2010 17:39[quote user="dko7113"] The DVD1 does not have a IR-eye in it. It is operated through the connected BeoVision and its terminal. The system is called Datalink and it works trough the SCART-cable… The DVD1 is designed to be…
Hoping for advice on Beovision LX2800
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 17, 2010 10:09Hello again everyone - I've just bought a white Beovision LX2800 off eBay, mainly because it came with a remote control (which I thought was a Beolink 1000 but turned out to be a Video Terminal) which I was hoping to use…
What's better - an MX6000 or an Avant 28?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2010 09:26Thanks guys - so by the sound of Lee's post on that thread, early curved-screen Avant 28s have a propensity to blow tubes but early Avant 32s are far less prone to it? Are DVD1s known to be unreliable? I'm quite curious …
