Hi John Thanks for your kind words. The Pulsars are indeed wonderful pieces, and I wanted one for years. The Accutron has a nice "hum" which I somehow never get tired of listening to every now and then I hope you get your Smiths mantel clock fixed, as it is great to keep these interesting pieces working and on show. I have a kit-made nixie

Hi all. I just found this thread, and hope you don't mind me resurrecting it. Like you, I am a fan of the Cartiers, Breitlings, Rolexs, Patek Phillippes et al, but I don't have anything like the budget So, I've looked elsewhere, and still have a small but interesting collection of classics. I'd like to share them if I may (not physically

Well I had a spare £200, and fancied a project, so I bought an 8GB iPod Touch ready to transform it into an all singing and dancing remote.

Hi all. I've just got a Beocenter 7000. Everything appears to work as perfectly, except the balance control works the opposite way round to how I'd expect - ie: moving the control all the way to the left means sound only comes out of the right speaker and vice versa. However apart from this the balance control works as it should, just "reversed"

Hello all. I've just got a Beocenter 7000 in really good condition, except that the right-side (as viewed from the front) hinge for the aluminium cassette/radio cover is broken, and the piece that pushes against the spring to open this cover is missing. Has anyone out there got spares of these kicking about? I'd be very grateful indeed!

wirralsimon: Dire Straits - Making Movies on Vinyl on my new Beosystem 5000. Simon I'm listening to Genesis ABACAB on my iPhone through the Beocenter 7000 I got from you yesterday, playing though some DBX SF1 soundfield monitors - sounds great! I'm chuffed to bits with it - Thanks!!
