Thanks for the tip Peter. No sanding required then? I will get the tuner. But the few I've seen didn't look very nice at all, and they were oak or teak. But there is some hope, eh? I don't mind lively amplifiers. And a bit of treble lift is just what I need at my age! All my Beomasters have treble cranked up a bit anyway... Tim thinks this

Oh yes, really impressive job Leslie. Either you'll do one for me or I'll have one of yours with the new slider! PM sent.

Well Leslie, tell me more... By the way, I'm listening to the Köln Concert on my Beocord 5000/4715 right now. I've rarely heard such beautiful piano from cassette... Who said this machine was junk? Really?

Hello all! Here I am also! Mine is a Beolab 5000 (no tuner yet) 5303, serie 08, in rosewood serial number 46619. Will I ever find the matching tuner?

A few piccies... As you can see, there are a few things to do. How do you get rid of those tuner feet imprints? There are a couple of missing screws underneath, and a few rusty ones that won't do. Does Frede make a screw kit? Maybe he does, maybe he does... The unit is in full working order. Now I need the matching tuner (in rosewood)... Damn. New

[quote user="Step1"] Oh I am not sure if there is some asbestos inside these units between the main PSU cap and the transformer though so please be cautious there! [/quote] You're scaring me Olly!

Great! Let's share this little project, shall we?

Hi, After the Beomasters 6000, 8000 and 4400, I finally found a Beolab 5000 amplifier, sans Beomaster, working with intact lettering. A nice project I guess! I suppose some work will still be required, and my pockets aren't deep enough to send it over to Frede! Yes, pictures will come!!

Tell us, how do you like your MC120.2, compared to the Redlines? I've always wanted a pair of RL140/2000, and I have been wondering about their sound quality.

Great job then!
