Looks great, we have one too sat next to our F1000. Great how you can route the cables through it.

Hello Lars.

That cabinet is rosewood. It's hard to really capture its warmth and beauty with a camera.

It's not just the type of wood they used but the CHOICE of each piece that makes it great. They took advantage of the grain and patterns in the wood.

I met some people from Copenhagen once in the U.S. Virgin Islands. St. John was a Danish outpost a long time ago. That's as close as I've been to Denmark.

Have a great day.

I really like the design and the wood. What wood is this and hows the condition? A beauty if you ask me.

I was lucky. The people at the thrift store thought it was a headboard for a children's bed; they even put rails for a boxspring mattress next to it. Once I saw the B&O nameplate, I almost fainted.

Lovely piece of furniture. Seem to remember that they were quite pricey when new!

I finally made a space for the MC40 cabinet I got at the thrift store. I put my Beocenter 1500 in it and had some fun just putting some stuff in and on it. The Technics TT on the lower left will soon be replaced with a Beogram 1602. I don’t know what I will put under the 1500. Right now that shelf holds a cool little Norelco reel-to-reel player, more of a desk item than a hi-fi item, but I was just goofing around.
