Re: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Beoworld I go! Photo's by Andy T.
By 10.00 I managed to emerge from my room. Breakfast finished at 9 o'clock so I knew I'd missed it even though I'd already paid for it yesterday afternoon but I was hoping I might at least get a glass of orange juice or coffee. I walked passed reception on my way out for a cigarette and there on the counter was a full English breakfast, cold and congealed. I gather that was supposed to be for me but it just turned my stomach and I nearly had to turn round and run to my room! I went into the dining room where the landlady was cleaning tables and profusely apologised for my late emergence and asked her if there was any chance of a coffee. She looked at her watch and shook her head. "Sorry we've finished breakfast and there's no milk anyway" I spotted the Orange juice and she conceded at least to that one. I threw it down my neck and went back to my room. Now then, Where and when was I supposed to be meeting Lee? No idea!

Re: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Beoworld I go! Photo's by Andy T.
I packed my bag and checked out of the hotel at 10.30 and headed round the corner to my car. Oh good, still in one piece so I rang Lee. "Hi mate, I've already been down to Beoworld and collected your 7000 and it's here at lifestyle" said Lee so I told Ozzie where I wanted to go and within 8 minutes I was back outside Lifestyle. I was so worried that my ashen appearance and lack of a smile would let me down infront of Lee. I entered the shop and there was Lee, sat on the sofa with a face like mine!   We decided it would not be prudent to take photo's looking like that and perhaps a better picture for the news article would be me at home next to my lovely system. So, we loaded the system into the boot of my Corsa, still bubble-wrapped and unseen by me.

Ooer, it even looks pretty in the bubble wrap!  LOL to you both being hung over.

Re: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Beoworld I go! Photo's by Andy T.
Gosh, What time are you reading this in Adelaide? It's nearly 5 pm here. Amongst the photo's and documents there was also a reel of cine film. I said I'd find a way to get that onto DVD but we'd need a projector. Jane said "I have one under the stairs that I bought about fifteen years ago at a car boot sale for £3" Then she brought this out!

Re: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Beoworld I go! Photo's by Andy T.
Love you too Peter! Sorry it's a bit off topic but it was all part of my journey. I got home on Monday morning and started emptying my car. Clothes bag first then Beomaster 4000 then Stereomaster 610 and finally my 7000 system. I laid them gently on my dining room table then went back to shut the boot. HORROR OF HORRORS, WHAT'S THIS?????

Alex:Sad to see one of my favourite BeoMasters in such a condition! Worth working on though, beautiful when it's in good condition.

Re: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Beoworld I go! Photo's by Andy T.
Gingerly I peeled off the bubble-wrap and slowly looked around this lovely record player. Heyup, no pieces missing! Where the heck had this piece of white plastic come from? I spent ages scratching my head and holding the piece of plastic up against various points on all four components. It was a perfect match both colour-wise and in thickness. Shaking my head I went into my garage to get my magnetic roof sign to put in the now empty boot, ready for work tomorrow. Halleluyah!!! That's where it came from.

Re: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Beoworld I go! Photo's by Andy T.
Feeling much lighter hearted I began to position the 7000 as I wanted it. I took quite a long time over this procedure as I wanted it perfect. Everything plugged in and ready to go. I think I'll listen to Carlos Nunez on this cassette first, I haven't heard it for two years. Doesn't she look lovely!

Re: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Beoworld I go! Photo's by Andy T.
Now then, a light tap on the lower left of the Beocord and B****cks! Transport screws! Any way I got it all sorted and , in order to take a decent picture for Lee to add to the news section, I got out the brasso to clean the brass trivet on the hearth and here is the result.

I think we should all get an invite to Andy's house to listen to his new fangled system (and we'll all drink enough to make us all sick)

I look forward to seeing all the pictures (and reading your inane drivel (to quote a famous hairy Glaswegian)) I hope all attendees thoroughly enjoy themselves and (@Andy) practise makes perfect - you can actually drink that much - it just takes perseverence.

jandyt: ... had rescued some old family photo's. No prizes for guessing which one is me!
Not fair! Prize should be a white Beosystem 7000. It is not easy to find you in the photo -- all those musical instruments, skirts, legs and white stockings look alike.
