Yes it is the specific North American Beomaster - I remember Peter freaked out when I flashed the spec with elctrical and service diagragm, Apparently it was one of thiose long elusive manuals Beowarld had been after for some time.

Poor Soren - kind a like owning a car without an engine.

 

Does changing the little cloths on your A8s count as working on B&O? πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‚

Bought a beautifull B&O cabinet for demo use of the Serene.

It's a great looking cabinet with a heavy glass top on it and aluminium parts below.

Inside is a motorized base.

Now finally I can store my Serene and other beauties!

That is SOOO cool Leslie!!!

My Serene was always on proud display, but not like that! The Serene deserves nothing less.

Let's hope so. I know I really like mine and the girls at the dance hall sure like theirs.

Not currently in use ......

I've got a chance on one in Eu, Looked at the drawings, as far as I can see the only diff. is the transformator, the US is fixed 120 (2x 60 in)

And the Euro one is 2 x 110 with the selection switch, will this be a problem ??

I woldnt think so if the switch is good. the sets I bought off Thomas were all Euro models and they switched over just fine all I had to do was put new plug on them. One of my CD50's has a voltage switch in the back. Lets see how it goes with your bid but dont bid the farm. Something will turn up here soon - it always does.

The most I ever paid the 5 I own is about 90 and it was the one that worked - sort of. I use to look for the listings that "say unit powers on and plays for a few moments then shuts back down." Got some sweet deals and one bad one.

Thanks Eugene, I think I'm getting to hot here, maybe better wait, the freight from EU is frigging 70 Euros, that alone is 100 US

You will find what you are looking for within the month on our side of the pond. If you were looking at a 1200 or 900k or a 2000 in white I would understand.

As long as I have been watching eBay listing it always seems as though things tend to come in waves, next thing you know the 5000's will be plentiful again.

Just finished re-wiring one of my cube tweeters. Will do the other one tomorrow. This week will hopefully yield an external crossover box.

I want these up and running soon, I miss their sound.
