evman140: So could the plastic bezel tabs not supporrting the circuit board be the problem? The spacial relationship between the glass and the board is critical.

Sorry gentlemen, I cannot see your logic. You all want one but only if it comes free(?) in a prize draw that costs you £30 a year to enter. Meanwhile, these things come up on eBay all the time and make no money. There is a member on our own for sale forum who is trying to sell a complete System 2400 with stand and speakers for £150, why

I don't mean an internet site, it's B&O's factory in the Czech republic where I believe most of the spares stock is held.

9 LEE: The beauty of this one is that it is has never even been owned by a private individual - and apart from a handful of weeks on display 28 years ago in the dealers showroom, it's unused. That, i think, puts it into the 'special' or 'very interesting' category - which are the kind of prizes i like to throw into the draws to make

This subject has been covered on the forum a number of times. I am sure a search would reveal several useful threads. The glass touch panels are no longer available from B&O. The cheapest option if you need to replace is to buy a cheap, cosmetically challenged Beomaster 3500 and rob the parts. They are identical!

TripEnglish: Most of our cables come from CZ now, however I've also experienced about 3-5 day lead times on these. Of course that's under normal circumstances. Anything can go on backorder in any country. B&O spares are now wharehoused on the Czech site and are normally with my dealer within 48 hrs.

Peter : Don't do it!! I have a full 2400 system down at Eastbourne - a real classic. And like Russ, I bet you would have a job to give it away! I will now put on suitable head-gear and flack jacket. This is not unlike the Avant saga. Soon people will be driving the length and breadth of the country to pick up these things that a month ago were skip

Sorry, forgot to say Welcome to the forum. We are happy to help.

Search the forum, this has been covered at least once. Here's one http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/thread/155124.aspx

Penta 1 not suitable as they don't have powerlink sockets. Best to get Penta 2 or 3 and some Mk2 powerlink cables and that will be fine.
