Finally had time to finish my 10 glasspanels for the Ouverture/BC2500.

I've let these glaspanels made at the same size and thickness as the original ones with the same dark teint. Made the brackets myself and fixed them on the glaspanels with the proper glue. The right unit on the picture is mine and has chamfered edges. The original on the left has rounded edges. See what the result is and it slides as a whistle👍🙂

As always Leslie AMAZING work 🤒

 

 

It is a given tha tit will be a splendid job by Leslie - always is.

So with all the talk lately about Pink Floyds vinyl reisssues I thought I would get out my old playing copy and give the Beomaster 1600 and little workout.

 

It works really well with a set of S-45 original design.

 

Great setup Eugene. Never had a Beomaster 1600, looks stylish. Is that a Beogram 4500 next to it?

Pink Floyd, wow! Was a or still am a huge fan, already from the beginning, Ummagumma, Meddle etc. Stopped loosing interest after Dark side of the Moon.

Meddle is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. My introduction to Pink Floyd was my sister, she had a copy of Atom Mother Heart Suite. Also a favorite of mine.

It is a Beogram 3000 and I think the 1600 is one of the coolest looking of the B&O sets. Very simple electronically. The big problem now is the controls all fail due mostly to failing compression washers in the clutching mechansims and other things associated with the mechanical controls as well. A bit of a labor of love to do one of these things. Some people absolutely hate this Beomaster.
