Cool! Note the manual - it's got an MCP on it but what model number is on the manual? Is it a BS7000 manual with an MCP on it? I've got a BS6500 manual with a BL7000 on it. Confusing! I'll check the serial no o my MCP tonight.

Maybe just to give the customer the option of having either one, - I guess the MCP would have been a fair bit cheaper.....and/or selling off unsold stock of MCPs !!

Cheers

Medogsfat:
The BS7000 was originally designed to be used with the MCP6500 until the release of the Beolink 7000. This black MCP that you're talking about was produced solely for the black BS7000 although it is only a cosmetic change from the MCP5500 & 6500.

No, the BL7000 was actually released a year or so before the BS7000 - the bl7000 was designed to be used with the BS6500. That's why my black MCP puzzles me, the bl7000 was already available when the black BS7000 was released so why would anyone go for an MCP instead of the bl7000?

The type number is the same as the MCP6500's, btw.

Again - B&O won't say but not that many black BS7000's were made.

Thanks.

What a wonderful resource this forum is. I summize that those of you who have got a rarity like this should consider yourself very lucky.

Just out of interest, how many black beosystems were produced? That might give a hint as to how many mcp's are collecting dust.

Quite a surprice to find that it is so rare...
Lee, do you know how many were made? Was it a part of the bs7000? I thought that the MCP line was replace by the bl7000...
What would be the retail on one of these?

B&O have never released production figures I'm afaraid but there were definately not manay of these made that's for sure.

I would have no idea as to the value of this as its rarity will definatley put it way beyond normal MCP prices of around £80 - £120. As with all things it will be worth as much as someone is willing to pay - impossible to say.

Hah! When you get to my age 'hypnotherapy' is not required to help me forget. Forgetting becomes a way...............Oh dear, forgot what I was going to say.

Oh my words! - I'm all a-quiver !!!
I've been looking for a Black MCP to match my Black BeoSystem 7000 for about 3 years!! Is it for sale Henrik?

Nevermind - take two Paracetamol, paint your tongue with Blue-Unction and take several deep breaths into a brown paper bag. That should steady your palpitations, now you need to start drinking heavily to help forget you've ever seen it

I've already booked a hypnotherapy session to help me forget..
