I picked up this Beolit 707 a while ago -

 

It is in fantastic condition overall with a complete aerial etc, but I would like to service it and get it as near to 'new' condition as possible.

Any tips? I also need a better speaker as the original has been replaced with one that doesn't match up to the original mountings.

Also, the bottom plate (with the writing on) is missing, so I wondered how I could go about sourcing a replacement? Anyone got the dimensions or a template I could have a copy of?

 

Thanks in advance

There's a guy on eBay by the name of jepsen57 who sells nothing but restored Beolits.  I'd try to pick his brain.

I can probably help with the base plate. PM me your address. The speaker is going to be harder to source.

Message sent! Thanks Stonk!

I had a look at the eBay seller but he didn't seem to have any refurbished radios, just ones that are in good condition - I might send him a message if I am struggling. Thanks for the link :)

Stonk! An amzing fit 😂

A thousand thanks! It's not in too bad shape considering it is the bottom part of a 30+ year old portable radio!

I owe you big style for this!

I don't want to ruin your 'party' but just fyi: a black 707 originally has a black baseplate...:).
