ouch

It doesn't sound good... A tube would cost around $2000 and Avants are now selling for less than $500 working with remote! I'd call B&O service and ask, but be prepared for a shock

[quote user="Michael"] I've had good experience recently buying BL4000's from another guy here in Melbourne. The smart way would be to contact the seller and ask them what is the type number, then you can research their age, etc. [/quote] I'm glad you're happy with them! They are truly a perfect pair of Beolab 4000s!!

What about a Beovision 5??? Spectacular looking TV even when switched off. Surely SWMBO couldn't baulk at that!!

[quote user="Step1"] TBH It was a fat finger auction but the most common of mistakes and everyone knows this old secret now [/quote] Without trying to sound completely stupid... what's a 'fat finger auction'???

See http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bang-0lufsen-loudspeakers-BEOLAB-5-/320695490610?pt=AU_Hi_Fi_Speakers&hash=item4aaaf0d832 Look familiar???

As faras I know you can't... The metal is anodised so the panel will need replacing

Anyone???

They're for sale by a fellow Beoworlder, 'Rex' He's got a very odd sense of humour and is stuck in a 70's porn flick!!

hmmm... I'm trying to ascertain the problem before I load it up and take it to B&O Service. I might save myself a trip
