    Beolab 3 Speakers for Sale

    Hey Friends!

    I've returned after having been stuck in school for a bit finishing a Masters degree.  I'm now about to embark on 4 years of dental school and need to cut down my collection to bare bare bones.  I used to frequently buy and repair or restore B&O, reselling some and keeping the best for myself.  I bought these Beolab 3 bodies from a repair shop, and then bought all the internal components from B&O to complete them.  Since I originally bought the bare bodies there's no serial number sticker on the back.  I therefore included pictures of the internal modules to show the B&O stickers just in case anyone had any doubts.  

    I also ordered and replaced any external parts showing noticeable wear.  From a meter away I'd say they look new.  When handling them in your hands you can see some small scuffs on the backs that are too minor to show up in pictures.  There is a small dimple on one of the woofer rubber surrounds which you can make out in the first picture.  It doesn't penetrate and is purely cosmetic.  The aluminum parts - the tweeter plate and top acoustic lens plate are in perfect condition with no scratches, as I replaced them with new ones.  I accidentally ordered an extra tweeter plate, so I'll include it in case you somehow ever scratch one and need to replace it.

    As shown in the pictures, I'm including the power cables, speaker cables, plastic cable cover plates, and the donut stands.

    I can also easily switch them from 110V to 220V using the internal jumper, just as B&O does.

    Asking $2500 US OR BEST OFFER, 1540 GBP, 1750 Euros.  I can calculate shipping, but figure about $100 US to Europe.

    Clear skies,

    Austin

    Boy, do I wish the budget was in better shape.....I'd even take a ride to pick them up, if you are in eastern PA.

    $2200 US!  That's 1355 GBP and 1550 Euros!  Are you guys really going to make me leave these on ebay? Surprise

    Also open to trades plus money if you have something interested.  One of the white stacking turntables would be especially welcome.

    $1900.  Before I put them on ebay, just let me know if there's some price you'd hope for!

    Hi,

    I am curious and interested by your Beolab3. You have nice skills in order to assemble them, but I assume I won't be able to ask a B&O center if they have a problem in a distant future?

    Are they US 110v powered?

    cheers,

    sergio

    OK, sorry for the 2nd question about the 110v, as I re-read your post ;)
