Ask and you shall receive! I just made a quick version.
Drill size is 4.2mm diameter, meant to be tapped for the steel stud that is attached to the Penta pedestal itself (M4 – 0.7 thread).
EDIT – file not able to be attached here to this post for some reason. @BeoWorld is it a format issue? I am trying to attach an stl (mesh file).
Just doing a small test run of a rig I put together for a friend’s house party. I needed a small stereo rig that I could fly with (checked bag here, though – no batteries) but packed a decent punch. I’ll be running them through the 3.5mm aux from a small Motu sound card connected to my laptop so I can circumvent any app/wifi nonsense. Test run conclusion from my apartment: a pair of BeoSound 2s bring plenty of slam 😎
Also, for future reference, here is where the RIAA accessory would mount if it was present in the BM6500. This is on the left edge of the preamp board.
Hey guys,
Struggling to access normal resources in the BeoTech area, these are just loading and loading and loading etc..
Lot’s of waiting here, just trying to load some basic wiring diagrams so I can make a cable.
There is a special place for BeoWorld in my heart – it was the space and place that absolutely enabled me to discover and immerse myself in what would become one of my ultimate passions: Bang & Olufsen. One that would eventually lead to career and life altering moments over the past years. This history is a big part of what keeps me coming back and pushing me to contribute as meaningfully as I can.
I am sad that it isn’t as active and visited by the folks I remember from those times however I try to post here as much as I can with constructive, helpful material. I hope my contributions will inspire others to do the same and ultimately bring people back here.
The old, long-term project threads some of us diehard folks used to put together (sometimes I still try! see Centa Penta for example haha) aren’t compatible with FB/discord-style platforms. They are living projects and need to be able to be updated and the forum-style format is great for that. All that’s missing is the amazing crew of members that can jump in and cheer us on and keep us BeoGeeks motivated to work on and finish our projects 😊
Thanks, Glitch!
I would like something a bit more substantial eventually, maybe I’ll find a piece of granite that goes with the look. A darker plinth would be nice that way I can do some different, richer colors for the printed pieces. Only thing is I need a few of them.
Ultimately I will have several of these on top of a shelf in approximately this arrangement:
The plywood was for sure not the original direction but it makes for a nice, warm and light-hearted version of the design.
If anyone would like to make their own, feel free to download here: evanbunner.com/downloads or reach out to me if you are interested in getting them printed.
I received some quotes for glass shelving and boy was it pricey. Seems like B&O negotiated a good price with its suppliers back in the day… the tinting and beveled corners seemed to drive up the cost a lot. Largely though there was a ton of polishing involved to get the edges smooth.
At any rate, I decided to just move on with some scrap ply from the woodshop. this is ~12.5mm ply with some white PLA printed ends. I made 4 shelf plinths last night, two in each length. Going to make a few different colors to see what works best with the birch ply visually.
As always, I am starting random DIY projects and this one *should* actually make it to the finish line in a few weeks. I have modeled up a clone of the A5/A6 CD rack! I am currently getting quotes made for the glass in both sizes like the originals. The end pieces will be 3D printed.
I am a huge CD listener and have a few hundred CDs that will be put on display in my new music room here at home. I plan on building at least four or five of these eventually. I like the idea of having a few groups of CDs to organize by genre instead of organizing alphabetically like I usually do.
