No, but I have started writing in fountain pen!
As do I
I do it once in a while as I find it has the effect of tidying-up my handwriting.
Haven't quite reached the "always at hand Werther's Originals" yet
I sense a Wednesday© thread coming on!

Evening gents, firstly may I ask.. What is Said "Wednesday© thread " ?????
Secondly, hmmm? the hand writting thing.... got me interested here, dont really have much call for it apart from signing company cheques,, but deep down in side Iwould love to write more (with pen on paper) rather than email n text as it seems to be these days.So do you find it really does help?

Every Wednesday a thread is started on the forum about a chosen topic - usually nothing to do with B&O at all...

You are too kind! It does sometimes surprise me when I trawl out some completely useless fact! Not senile yet!

Do you keep spare halves of old pipes in your pockets??

By the way, the ones for sale look like V1s, not OA 2212s. The latter are supposed to be superb. V1s are not!!

I have a suspicion that the speakers you mean are not B&O but are actually Sonab enclosures. These were floor mounting omni directional speakers and could be had in white! There is a teak pair on eBay though these are only one of the types available. Would be sold by many dealers who also sold B&O.

Hi all, I am still searching for my Fathers' setup of Yesteryear... He had: Beomaster 3000, Begram 3000, & a pair of BnO WHITE, Floor mounted, speakers that had a protective grille over the top of them...??? They were as I say white, had feet & faced UPWARDS???? Any ideas fellow Yesteryear lovers.. If u do a pic & description would be great as my father can no longer remember...

So close now to replicating the magic that was growing up listening to mt dads LPs' on the BnO BUT.... ONLY when he said so (as we were not allowed to touch-Merely listen)....

Im a dad now too & already my girls are loving my BnO setup....

And so the wheel keeps turning
