[quote user="Dillen"] The Beomaster 1700 may not be a technical wonder but it is a unique design and most tractor belt problems can be solved. Reproduction rubber clutch "washers" are available.

[quote user="Peter "] One superb thing about the 1700 is that unlike the 6000 quad, the display panel is glass so is usually unmarked. I also love the 'bonnet stay' which makes it easy to service. Amazing how little is inside it mind you! [/quote] You can't really compare the 6000 Quad and 1700 I have both and the 6000 is a masterpiece

Apple is a mass market product anyway....hate it when its compared to B&O.

Well I can only comment on the Beovox's that I've listened to. Quite impressed with the RL140's and as said before have to be positioned correctly though. S75's very good then I would say I quite enjoy my 5700's, then S55. Don't like the S30's at all, not sure I understand the point of them.

[/quote] Nice to know Ben - now stop messing with our heads & tell us what car they were made for you tease Chris. PS. I have a broken belt for one of these & I've tried all manner of fixes for it with totally abject failure at

Update.....belts are still working flawlessly!

Sorry for some reason I didn't see the youtube link!!

Yes I did notice that the wood was a very fake pastic coating over the metal cover. I suppose from far it is fairly convincing..or should I say...nice from far but far from nice!! lol

Thanks for all the information Vienna! Mine has the wood finish and is totally mint, looks like it has never been used ever. Had been in a storage unit for many, many years. Hmmmm...maybe it should go off to Ebay!

Felt like a traitor bring it into my house!! Sounds pretty good but its also pretty damn ugly. Mint condition though.
