Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
Excellent! I've been thinking that if I ever get another radio with this form factor, this model might be it.

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
Nice work Andy :)
I was always a bit unsure about this model, but it looks great in your photo. What speakers (I know you have lots!) are you using it with?

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
Good choice Andy - I use 1000s with my BM 900 and they sound great :)
You should see my 6000 Quad - very nice and I think you need one in your collection now!

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
bravo Andy !
when your Black Label begin to taste like juice just take shot or two of Absinthe and
after that quench with some vodka, if you still feel juice like take beer
with grappa !

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
Neat looking set up - all the items from the different decades in the photo go together pretty well I feel! Well rescued.

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
Great job, Andy ! I always liked the sound from these Beomasters. Maybe not particularly powerful but rich, warm and pleasant if given contemporary speakers like the Beovox 1000 you are using. Actually, the Beovox 1000 don't even reach the HiFi norm ratings but they do sound surprisingly good.
Noise free sliders is a must. Nothing spoils the fun more than a scratchy volume or balance control.
Next time, ask me for lamps or would that make it too easy ?

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.

Perhaps you should add the picture to the media gallery with associated comments

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
Gosh Brian! Never noticed the decade thing in that photo'! Beovox 5000 =60s Beomaster 1600 =70s Beovox S120s = 80s Beolink 7000 = 90s Beosound 2 = 00s 5 decades, just like me!
You are right Martin. far too easy! Yes Keith. I have nevr used the media gallery, time I started. Not sure Simon, I have a Beolab 1700 and Beomaster 1700 with just cabinet problems. Although not quality items, they are still part of our history and I have yet to hear Ambio. Still can't solder Chris, just melt solder wiyh a soldering iron and let it solidify. Shucks, it was nothing Nikola. Cheers j0hn, must come over and see/hear yours one of these days. On top of my Beovox 5000s Craig. The veneer is a perfect match and it makes a good 5 decade photo'! Hey Jeff. Got two of the Cat track 1700s too. One of these days, eh!

Re: Another old lady saved from the skip.
Hi Andy,
Though I am not a collector of the 'classics' myself, I have to agree that 'the old lady' is a remarkable good-looking piece of kit, especially in combo with the speakers. Tempting... even for me, to have one of those one day.
I am glad a true enthousiast like yourself took the time and effort to bring this piece back to life and I do hope you get alot of enjoyment out of it.
Makes me wish B&O would make something in a nice wood finished case again or just some wooden finishing strips. I am sure there is a clientele for that.
Well done Andy !
O.
