Georga Peach Black Tea w/cream & raw sugar please,,,Thank You so kindly!"Of course keep the chocalate's & I'll come bearing gifts

Great job Leslie, have you tried getting the chamfered edge?

Sh!t, wish you didn't mentioned that Olly! No, impossible to do (I think)

Just a smooth (well, not exactly) rounded edge..

Working on my 2nd batch of 10x BM4500 glasspanels (lots of demand) and then finishing the glass windows for Ouverture/2500/2300 units.

My 3rd pair Penta's refurbished with new cloths and a selfmade perspex cover and stainless steel mirror panels (yes, again) for the amps.

For this I had to make something. Why not using a halogen lamp from a copy machine to do the bending of the perspex.

 

Leslie!!! Wow!! Very cool.

Best displays EVAR.

What a fine restoration!  Well done, Leslie. 

Thanks Evan & Rich! It really looks great but the "chamfered" thing Olly was talking about keeps my brains busy. I'll think I'm gonna give it a try...,

I wonder if you could take a sheet of clear plastic, add some heat, care and patience, and bend up a few inches all the way round the perimeter of the sheet and end up with a turntable dust cover.

To bend the Perplex is no problem, but you will never get the edges and corners right, at the corners you will have to glue, and you will allways be able to see the union, upper edges will be round and not square as org.

It's almost bedtime now but I couldn't resist to give it a quick try roughly.

Could be an OEM part nearly ;)

Step1:

Could be an OEM part nearly ;)

Yes "nearly", by bending you can never get the 90 degree corner, it will allways be 2 x 45 degrees, after grinding, or as in the first pic, a 1/4 circle

Nice job Leslie! Very impressive!

Thank you Evan! Also for giving me the tip regarding BV2500 cube (base)!

Not working on it yet, but will within a month or 2, just bought this to complete my BG 5000, now onto get a reciever.

Working on my new bathroom, and just installed two IWS2000 speakers!

Working on more new Penta covers...

And I've made two Beolab flatpanel wallbrackets in between...

Next step is integrating my Ipod into my Ouverture and finish my Ouverture glasspanels...

Wow, I'm impressed. Do you make the aluminum for the Beosystem 5500 too? I mean those aluminum on the top of the covers?

Check page 12 of this thread Johnny

What can I say? I have no words.

My covers have lots of scratches. do you have any tips to remove scratches from aluminum, or do I need to replace the aluminum?

errr lesley ...

I know, I know..

My dear wife is complaining (again) and after 34 years of marriage I think it's time .

Just kidding

Time to sell bit by bit all the doubles, triples I have.

Peace man!

Great craftsmanship Leslie. You are  a true artist at this stuff. I am still in awe of how you came up with using the copier machine to bend the persplex pieces.
