Doesn't this in "Hamburgish" mean "kiss my a$"

No No, mojn is the noth german (plattdeutsch) universal greeting, once upon a time the Hamburg Tourist board had big signs all over Germany with the words "Im Hamburg sagt man MOJN".

Todd and Evman where are he progress report, I' waiting here

me too, it's almost bedtime...

Søren Mexico:

No No, mojn is the noth german (plattdeutsch) universal greeting

Yes, but the double MOIN MOIN has that special meaning....

BTW, Todd seems to be back

Leslie:

me too, it's almost bedtime...

Yes, but we are probably 6 hours ahead of them...

Maybe they'll work through the (our) night

Moin Moin

Leslie:

Moin Moin

Thanks, Leslie - perhaps this moin moin phrase is just a southern joke about north fresian phrases...

Have to ask my friend in Hamburg about that next time. And it's a shame someone from the Netherlands has to teach German to a German

Ok, see you at the other end of the night....

Just to avoid any misunderstanding

Hi Leslie, I'm on a 15min break of which 13min is gone! Heads-Up, Evman has the

Updates and would bet he's locking and loading right now! so I know its late where you

are but It'll be up soon. Sorry but I gotta run.

Yeah He's back but he can't stay just wanted ya too know Evman's got the Updates and I'm sure he's about to post. Sorry gotta go back but I'll be Baaack!

Yea, He's back but he cant stay cause its a short break from work of which I've gotta return...Just wanted too Say Evman has the updates and I'm sure he's

about to post anytime. Sorry its late! Talk too everybody later." Gotta get back"

Alright everyone! It's show time!! Sorry I've taken so long, was a busy day and took me forever to get away from work.

Time to wrangle this thread back on track!!! Now where were we... Oh right, the cliff-hanger!

Here is what I think is the better speaker with its new cloth. I'm not exactly proud of how the fastening of the cloth was done but it has produced a fantastic result! Of which, both Todd and I are VERY proud!!

Like you suggested Leslie, we started with the embossing and worked off of that. We also used the "Red-Line" frame to help our cause and fasten the cloth using the screws. Finally, we took up all the extra slack with some strategically placed double sided tape.

I took this picture this morning as I walked out the door heading for work. The RL was struck in a ray of morning sun through the sky light.

Awesome. Just plain awesome!

You can all be sure Todd and I shared many high-fives after the speaker was placed on its stand.

Cannot wait for a set of new plastic bands, then we'll be set!

Leslie, thanks to you and your great instruction - the embossing turned out wonderfully! There is a small dimple at the very bottom corner of the embossing due to the small groove for the straps, which will be remedied by the straps.

Leslie:

Finally finished my Beocord. Don't wanna start a new thread but as promised 2 pictures and a link to my webalbum where you can see more of all the work I did on this beast! Unfortanetely I haven't made any pictures in "Before" situation but I can tell you that it was heavily scratched and damaged in some areas. Toedeloe....

Leslie, that is one beautiful reel to reel! WOW.

And there you are, hard at work! Come on over to Ohio and get your picture taken with the rest of the vintage team!!

Evan:

Dare I ask what shipping would cost?

Ev, I really don't know but I think shpping from Europe to the US is expensive.

That BM4000 weighs 10.4kg without any packing. Dimension packed would be roughly 70 x 40 x 20cm.

Had a short look at DHL - Package with 120 x 60 x 60 max with 20kg to USA is 65 EURs.

That's much more than I paid for my BM's Even counting in the spare parts I needed to repair them.

If you would have an idea.....

Or we can hand it over at Struer next year - but this would easily kill your free baggage weight

   Gunther

EDIT: oops, Soren was there with the same idea And for sure several 100 $$ are more than inacceptable.

EDIT2: And all the european BM4000's I know of are 104MHz only

Gunther, even at 65€, I still find myself thinking about this! But on the other hand, if I somehow managed to bring a BeoMaster 4000 home all the way from Struer, I would have an awesome story to tell. Wow, what a thought that is! I could bring it home from its birthplace at the factory!!!

I don't have a problem with the 104mHz, I don't even listen to FM...

Alright everbody, I am signing off here.

Tomorrow there will be progress, and posted! I will be completing the second speaker cloth and also adding a resistor to try and even out the bright mid-woofer problem.

I am heading over to the neighbors' for a celebratory . Cheers!

Hey Partner' I know I help re-cloth the speaker but thats just sweet! well done Evman!

Terrific post of you Leslie with your Beocord 2400! Its good too see some of you guys! Anytime you've got something too share w/us don't even hesitate only terrorist hi-jack not family.  I love the pictures."

Umm... I think you should've glued the fabric in the bottom of the grooves as well, as the bands aren't going to pull the fabric into them... they are purely for visual purposes, not for tightening anything. But that'll be a minor problem, I'm sure they'll still look great

Mika, Evman and I both really did pause at your same thought but we both decided

we didn't want to deal with the glue. It may be a price we pay but I hope your

right and they still will look Great!

Leslie, R U Kidding Me?.... B & O CD Demo Set OH My GooodNess! don't start

spoiling us yet with presents;  I'll start to think I've done something to deserve it

Talk about appreciation; I appreciate your generous gesture Sir!

Gunther, I was only doing a quid pro quo dig for a laugh after who I consider to

be a dear friend. If I don't get off this kick so to speak my buddy is going too think

I've unwittingly contrived a true BW conspiracy to emotionally defraud him of his B&O collection!

Then who would I have too do my Pro Bono work of future B&O purchases under the guise of Collaborative Projects? HuH HuH?

"So Gunther lets keep this other thing about his bm3000 etc...On the down low you know until..................C'mon Gunther Work W/me

Hey Soren,

So hows that for a progress Report Sir?

Evan:

I still find myself thinking about this!

Ok Mr. Evman, then there's no shipping, sorry...

Because then the way to do it is the Struer way - I'm absolutely sure we all want to have your promised birthplace factory story here to read

This alone would be worth givin' the BM4000 away (a functional one though; still leaving the recapping up to you for yet another story )

   Gunther

BTW: Did you measure the driver in question de-soldered? You mentioned they are different in the 2 speakers?

As I only have the SM for the previous PL60.2 with the ABR's and yours / Todd's are newer ones the crossovers are different

Todd:

a quid pro quo

oops, I had to look up that one   Sometimes it's hard to follow young people's way of talking (being older than both of you together..) AND not being a native speaker   Anyway - got it!

If you could convince Ev about having to carry 20kg instead of 10 next year

Hi Gunther, that's funny - I hope you do not object to me saying so.

Evan is using Latin when he says "quid pro quo" ... not a young person's way of talking ... actually 2,000 years old
