I seem to have an obsession with acquiring complex B&O cassette recorders that don't work, particulary Beocord 5000 Type 4715.  This has been a worrying affliction, but having recently bought a Beocord 9000 that works, I feel strong enough now to part with them!

One is in Rosewood, the other Teak.  Cosmetically they are OK, with the odd light scratch and finger marks on the control panels but, of course, they don't work - but they never do, do they! 

I also have a Beocentre 4000 in Teak with the usual problems of broken hinges to the lift up panels - and the casette section needs some attention.

I will send if someone picks up the carriage/postal costs, otherwise they are destined for ebay as ' for spares or repairs' or, ultimately, the tip.

Or they can be collected from down here in sunny Devon.

You ought to keep a 5000! These are the only true B&O cassette recorder! Even I have kept one of these!

Peter,

I know I should, but even our 'Fleet friend' thinks I have two too many!  At the moment the Rosewood one sits elegantly but quietly (very quietly!) alongside my BG 4004, but space is now at a premium - the BM 8000 is huge!

Hi Cleve,

Please put the rosewood 5000 to one side for me!

I should be down in Exeter doing a job within the next couple of weeks, otherwise I don't mind paying for delivery.

Ben,

Sorry, you're just missed out - I have had a PM an hour ago. 

The Teak one is still available!

Cleve

At this price, I can live with teak!

Thanks :)

Ben - it's yours.  But I have to emphasis it isn't working and I've taken the top plate off and not put it back on.  But if you want it, you can pick it up when you're next down this way.  

Cleve

Sounds good - Will PM you to find out your details nearer to the time to arrange collection.

Ben
