Hi Andy, I would like to recommend a bit different methode. Sanding down - yes of course. Be avare the products from 1960 to 1980 are all with a relativly thick veneer, so you can really solve problem by sanding. After that I always use wax (beewax for furniture). That will give you a very silk surface which I prefer against the oil finish. The Danish

Martin, please explaine in danish the [ Bandmaster ] receiver, what is the dansih name for that one? or better the type if possible. Frede

I did find a bit more. I have B&O original product release registration (actually a big compiled list covering 1925 - 1992 by Eivind Johansen) 1959 First release of the StereoAmplifier with the black frontpanel 1960/61 Next version of StereoAmplifier with black frontpanel (se my picture above) 1961/62 Release of Beolab 608 blue frontpanel 1962/63

...and this is the Beolab 608 in the two different colours for the front panel perhaps the two B&O speakers next to the Beolab608 is a bit rare too /Frede

I have a couple of pictures here for imformation. The small black is one of the first stereo amplifiers of B&O. About 1960/61 /Frede

Hi I would like to add, the 'Beolab 608' is produced with two different front panels. The most know is the blue version. The most rare is the black version.

In Denmark this information is what veneer suppliers need. I have bought veneer a couple of times with that specification and got exactly the same color and

I have been working there and 'sales' kept these info 'very thight' at that time. I did hope the classic products qty could be 'visible' by now. Anyway - I will try to pull a couple of strings I would like be be sure not to ask something somebody else knew all about. By the way - Peter any progress on the list service- and user

From some manufactores itis possible to know the total number of products produced over the period of time a model were sold. Do anybody have numbers for B&O products like: Beolab 5000 - Beomaster 5000 - Beogram 3000 (1968) ? Best Regards / Frede

Peter: I take it you mean the tractor drive one rather than the tuner? Looks wonderful and the glass top is what the earlier BM6000 quad should have had. I am going to disagree with Casdave on this one though - very unusual! It is an indirectly coupled amplifier and seems a step backwards in amplifier design compared to designs like the 1500 and more
