Thumbs up or Down? Your opinions please.

Many Thanks Andy...  

EDIT

Andy, I have edited out the sales link as it isn't within Beoworld guidelines to post such links. Out of fairness I have replaced it with your photo as it is of interest to the members. Hope this meets with your approval.

Also, the transpiration of the hands make it darker / mat-grey in colour after a while.

Fingerprints don't seem to be a problem, but if my kids  get hold of it a simple wipe with a tissue does the trick (No chemicals) 

Thanks Beaker

I personally like it Andy I have been thinking of doing something similar to some shoddy Beolink 1000's I have for some time.

You have a PM BTW.

Chris.

Mixed opinions, I would love the opportunity do the Beolink 1000 for you. I also have other pictures if anyone is interested?

Andy

Thanks for amending my thread Chris to meet with Beoworld guidelines, approval met

Regards andy. 

I think it looks great!
But with a black upper plate it would look excellent :)

Jooka, you say it is too shiny - do you like B&O products such as BS4500, BS9500, BS6 etc?
 

The cost is split into two sections, around £7 layout, then the price for 3 hours work. What price can you put on time!

andy:

What about the beolink 7000, was that not shiney, and how did it cope with fingerprints?    

I can answer that one.  I never touch my Beolink 7000.  I control the system with a Beolink 5000.  I don't want to put fingerprints on the 7000. Ha! 

In my house, I don't touch the brass fingerplates on the doors for the same reason!
Absurd, isn't it?

Andy T.

I love the magic behind the designs of most B&O products , to say you never touch the 7000 turns it into a design without the magic.

Hi Andy, I have done similar experiments with Beolink 1000s and Beocom 6000 pyramids.. The idea was to make gold plated models.
I haven't completely abandonned the project yet.
Caustic soda in an eggcup with a toothbrush is good for removing anodising on aluminium pre plating, but very dangerous to use.

Andy T.

No bad! how about having the front black? would that be possible?
 

Just out of curiosity i removed the front plate from 1 BL4000 and tried caustic soda on an inconspicuous section on the back, its a bit like putting a drawing pin in the wall using a lump hammer!! even when diluted it leaves the surface pitted beyond working conditions.

Is there an echo in here?

Just kidding! I agree with you, mobeyone, the front should be black for optimal 'bling' effect
