[quote user="Llewelyn"] Hi Cleve They are teak! They would match nmartins 901 though, I know because it used to belong to me :) If either of you are interested I can ask him for you and put you in touch. Llewelyn [/quote] Thanks Llewelyn, bu I'll pass on that. The more I think about Nmartin's 1203/901 the more I think the 1702s would

[quote user="Llewelyn"] My colleague has a pair of 1702's in great condition, and I know they are just gathering dust at the moment! I can ask him what he doing with them if you are interested? Thanks Llewelyn [/quote] Llewelyn, If nMartin 771 isn't interested and the 1702s are in Rosewood, I would be very interested!!! Cleve

[quote user="nmartin771"] Thanks Lee ! My problem is space ... I need to find something really small for my bookshelf. I was thinking about CX50, but compare to the CX100 is not to much price difference, but huge difference in sound I think. [/quote] What about a pair of Beovox 1702s? Much closer vintage, efficient, nice wood cabinet and small

[quote user="Medogsfat"] Use the origianl cloth as a template and don't be tempted into cutting the new stuff slightly smaller as it will make getting the corners right quite difficult. For glue just use Evostick or Bostik and treat as normal glue - IE just apply to the plastic frame and stick the cloth to it straight away. [/quote] Thanks

[quote user="Dillen"]However, if your cabinet restoration involves working with wire wool, I recommend you dismount the drivers altogether. Debris in the form of little iron particles will seek towards the drivers magnets as if they were paid to do so and it can be very tricky to clean off again.[/quote] That's what one pair need, I'm

Martin/Craig Thanks guys very much - I feel less stupid now. My Teak pair only need some minor cosmetic work - no sandpaper I promise you. The Rosewood pair have one very badly scratched area which will need some careful sanding. I'l be very careful not to go through the veneer. Martin, I will PM you for a capacitor kit in the next day or two.

I have recently acquired 2 pairs of S45.2. They sound very good at the end of a CDX/BG4004/BC4000 set up (at least, they sound better than my Beosystem2500/Beloab 2500s) but the cabinets need some serious TLC. I guess I should also replace the capacitors (everyone on this site suggests it, so I will go with the flow here). However, my technical skills

[quote user="Llewelyn"] I think its a Beolab 5000 in A Clockwork Orange! [/quote] 'A Clockwork Orange' features a Beolab 5000 and a Beomaster 5000 as well. The turntable shown in the scene is a Michel Transcriptors Hydraulic Reference - a magnificent piece of design/styling, the descendants of which are still being made today (unlike
