At Struer, I mentioned to Lee that at home, I have a white Beogram 4500.
He seemed to think that this was unlikely as they were like hens teeth!
When I got home and checked it was as I thought. Does anybody know if this is, indeed, a rare item?

Hi Andy,

Is it white with mirror panels or all white ?

All white would be unlikely,

or perhaps custom made like my Beomaster 4500 in black/mirror panel ?  

Or do you mean a white banded 4500?

If so I have one!  

I think you're both right. Black base, white band, black looking down on the deck and mirror and black on top. Maybe I misled Lee into thinking it was all white. Soz Lee.

Hi Andy!

Glad you got home safe and sound.  Must have been agood chance for you to recover on the Tuesday night in Struer with no distractions such as Ed and myself.

Yes, i was led to believe that ALL of the plastic panels were white, which was why i was so amazed! - but it seems you have a white-line 4500.  Still a really good deck, and very sought after as it has a pre-amp inbuilt (which means it will plug straight into any modern B&O source such as BS9000, Ouverture etc).

Can i also say that it was great to meet Andy too.. especially so after lots of alcohol in "Den Glade Pingvin"

EOB:

Ignace what do you mean with blak mirror ?

Hi, all black with just the top panel in mirror.   

EOB:

Ignace did you mod the mirror yourself and do you have an on top pic ?

Hi,

Yes, i completely re-built a Beomaster 4500 and took the all-black base of a Beomaster 3500

and used the mirror panel of Beomaster 4500.

I could have just spray-painted over the white parts, but i wanted the exact same black finish

and had a faulty Beomaster 3500 for parts  

Can i also say that it was great to meet Andy too.. especially so after lots of alcohol in "Den Glade Pingvin"

Cheers Lee! The feeling is mutual and I'm looking forward to meeting up again.
