        Anyone know where I can get the peanut lamp (5V 60mA) used in the < > photocell control module in the keyboard.  Its B&O part number is 8230069.

        Thanks

          Lamp for record sensor arm Beogram 6002 6006 8000 8002 TX

          But it’s not in the keyboard, it’s in the sensor arm.
          The lamp inside the keyboard is also found in the webshop.

          Polishing acryllic can be an hours-long process, depending on the itinial condition and what tools etc. you have.
          Novus #2 is usually a good starting point.

          Patience could also be the solution. You never know when new dustcovers become available…

            Here the text from this thread  https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/14600.aspx?PageIndex=1 Of what I did.

            While I had all the sanding utensils out and ready, I started on the ugly acrylic cover, I placed it on a sturdy cardboard box that nearly fit into the cover Bad idea as I sanded with 30 micron the cardboard damaged the inside of the cover, I had to cover the box with a cotton rag, and later sand the inside with 15 micron and so on), I then wet sanded with a 30 micron sheet, parallel to the long side until the deep scratches was gone, the most difficult was the damage you can see in the first pics. I then went to 15 micron sanding parallel to the short side until all the grains from the 30 micron was gone, then down to 9 micron, long side, until all then grain from 15 micron was gone, then down to 3 micron, short side, I now had like a haze on the acrylic, not quite clear, I then took to Novus No. 2 scratch remover, and that did it. With 25°C in the garage this was a boot camp, 2 hours hard work, sweating like after a 5 Km run. I have some more covers where I tried with Novus No. 3 and 2 and 1, It didnt turn out as well as this one.
