    Windfall??????????????????

    My mother-in-law called me the other night to say that one of her friends has some old Bang & Olufsen "stuff" which belonged to her late husband. She doesn't want it and wandered if I would like to take it off her hands.

    I am currently waiting for a call from the friend to arrange to visit her to collect said items. I have absolutely no idea what the "stuff" is. It could be products, brochures, or accessories. The wait is killing me.

    If it's products I will post pics and see if anybody can offer a good home for it. If it's brochures I will add to my humble collection and offer any swaps to whoever needs them for their own collection.

    Sorry to announce this and have you all eager to see what the "windfall" is, but I didn't want to suffer in silence on my own any longer Wink

    sad to hear that anyone has passed away

    however I hope doe your sake he was well off and a BV4-102 was part of his collection

    First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

    Any old (think 70s and before!) user manuals that could be scanned would be useful - I can scan and return should this be the windfall!

    If there are any Lab5's that you have no use for, I will gladly give them a home!

    Or any brochures that you dont want.

    Beaker - I have a B&O original accessories brochure from the 1980's if you want it? It's a small A5 14 page affair listing the remotes (BL1k, 5k,7k), furniture, speaker stands, headphones, tv stands etc...

    Re: Windfall??????????????????

    Sorry to keep you all in suspense. I still haven't had the call yet.

    As I said originally, I wanted to share my frustrating wait with all you good people.

    I'm seeing my Mother-in-law on Sunday so I will try and see how the land lies with her friend.

    Watch this space for developments.

    It certainly is Ben.

    Send me a PM with your address & I'll get you a postage price.
