Congrats Stonk, it looks great! (although you seem to have a S*s telephone - but so do I )

Mine seems to have stuck on a shelf as a display piece as I never though it to sound anything special. I'm sure it needs a recap... It will become a system with my Beogram 1000 and Beovox 2200's (these I love!) once I find a decent place for them. Found it cheap from the same flea market as my first BM900K, all it needed was new dial bulbs Actually

There will always be someone to ruin your bargain at the last minute (unless the listing has been very creatively misspelt...). That's why I don't do this poker table bidding anymore - I just put in the maximum amount I'm willing to pay and forget about it. If it was going to be a bargain, this won't change it a bit. The most popular

There is no way around it without the help of the dealer - that's the whole purpose of the system. However, they should be able to get you a master code, which can be used to reset the PIN. You will have to prove that you are the rightful owner of the system. This shouldn't need a trip to Struer and it should not cost that much, though. Maybe

BTW a pair of BL8000s cost 3,995€ in Finland at the current 22% (soon to be 23%) VAT, which is pretty much exactly £3400 at current rates. Apparently they still sell to support three shops in Helsinki alone, two of them less than hundred meters apart!

[quote user="Puncher"] What I value is common sense, the price (in the UK) for the 8000's increased by 30% between 2006 & 2009 (£2300 - £2995). It's just not good enough, they're taking the mick! [/quote] While at the same time, EUR-GBP exchange rate went from 0.69 (01/2006) to 0.92 (01/2009) = 36.5% change meaning

Perhaps you plugged it in / turned it on at some time without any speakers connected? I believe at least the early versions of BS9000 drop to Option 0 in that case, which means that it won't respond to the remote. You'll need to reprogram it to Option 1, which is a bit annoying with a Beo 4 - I certainly can't remember how to do it since

Well, now that the antenna plug is a goner anyway - snap it off, strip an inch or so of the cable, jam the sleeve into the other hole in the antenna connector, the center wire into the other, and rock on

Don't make the antenna thing too complicated. Radio waves have travelled dozens of miles through plain air to reach your house, they are not going to stop due to a plug or the lack of one... Just stick a 1 meter piece of loose wire inside the antenna connector and it'll work well enough to try out the tuner.
