I have a few with the the panels missing so I was looking for an alternative. Also came in my thoughts to change the black plastic panels (behind the glas) into another color (Evan-white)👍 What do you think?

 

 

Ok, now we got it 🤒

I fully endorse the idea of a white 2300!

That special blue colour that the metal plates has from a MkII BL2500

 

 

In my response I originally typed blue but deleted it because I thought there already had been a factory blue. Plus, I probably would have gone even further and suggested things like orange and even yellow! 😂

I just don't see any business in it, and that was what I was commenting.

Never had any intention to do any business with selling panels like these and the other BM4500 I've made.

I'm a hobbyist remember and occasionally sell something from the 600 B&O items I have in my collection. Hobby work cost money and this is a way for me to finance. I'm not a reseller like some others here are on this forum. Only trying to help people on this forum looking for other ways to produce them other then buying "originals".  We have sponsors here who sell cables and brackets or am I wrong? Are these originals and obsolete?

I have plans to start officially as a reseller in the near future, but for now what I'm doing beside my work as an engineer, this is more fun!

Why do you have three Ouvertures with broken doors? 😁

Who says I have three? This is a understatement

Personally I just think that it will be good to hear other points of view as well, not just smell of roses everywhere

But sometimes it will help to use some friendly comments instead of giving critical comments all the time!

When you list those machines for sale and tell that the doors aren't original, as I'm sure you will, many of the buyers will turn away.

Don't think so, depends on the text and pictures you place e.g. on Ebay, again lots of people would like to have these as an alternative!

Wow. I'd love to see more encouragement for your efforts Leslie.

You have helped quite a lot of people over here and my self as well.

I think it's excellent to have alternative spare parts at least cheaper than the ones from B&O!!!

Your activities amount to gross desecration of iconic products. If it was up to me, B&O would be sueing you.😭

You are gradually trashing some of the most superb designs of our age.

Now , it would appear, you are about to start on the Ouverture, with plastic doors and strange colours, no less!!

That took long, was expecting these stupid remarks from you a bit earlier!

No doubt your Greek chum will be along soon to add to your comments!

It's a good job I've got broad shoulders.

Graham, I have not mentioned anything about you and expect your public apology soon.

As far as I remember, never said anything negative.

You have gone too far.

Sometimes it's wise not to respond to these silly remarks specially from this person.

Btw, Graham, have been checking today for the glass windows, cost me 15 euro each, cheap ha😎

Keep smiling, my shoulders are broad as well......

I have two glass doors and the brackets they have come off and been glued by a blind man but if your in the uk you can have the pair for for £40.00 plus P&P.

Sorry, not in the UK, but your price is quite reasonable, thanks!
