I have 2 pairs of Redline 140's. The first pair, the straps say "RL 140". The second pair, the straps were broken so I'd love to hear how your project goes!

BTW Martin, as soon as I have those straps back on, the 1st pair will be complete. It sounds amazing!

Leslie,

Do you recall the specifics you used to create the BL font?

Thx!

On this site (Dutch) you simply type in the text and choose color and width (stickerbreedte) or height (stickerhoogte) and you are able to compare. I bought these "plakletters" for my Beolab 3000 units where some of the characters in the text Bang & Olufsen has dissapeared. You can't see the difference Check my avatar..

Helvetica is pretty close, I've used it on replica Beotime clocks.

This will probably make B&O devotees shudder, but some years ago when my original straps snapped I replaced them with ordinary ribbon of the same width and colour. Still there and still look fine to me! I got extra ribbon at the time in case it was needed, but so far it's not.

Because ribbon is so flexible it's not subject to the same strains and problems as the original material.

Of course there's nothing printed on but in my opinion that's no problem.

Others may disagree!!

Thanks everyone for all your help, just the information i needed.

Chris, thats exactly what i was thinking (although its easy for me to say that after youve said it ) regarding the customer choice on the RL*000

Once ive produced the metal printing plates for each variation and recieved the hot foil stamping machine ill be able to see how they turn out.

Although im tempted to just print 'Jay rocks' on all of them and have done with it

Thanks again everyone

Im still working on the text for these,

can anyone tell me if RL45 reads either RL 45 or RED LINE 45 on the originals ?

thanks

I'm not sure if there's a definative answer here Jay.

I seem to remember B&O having to drop the name "redline" part way through production & simply call this speaker range "RL" due to some copyright infringement so there may be more than one version. Personally I would simply use the "RL" prefix and call it a day.

I'd also give prospective customers a choice of text (or not) for the RL*000 series for that personal touch. PS - I'll be wanting some RL45.2 & RL60.2 ones shortly.

Chris.

I can add RL 6000 - no wording.

Iconic-AV:

I'm basically trying to clarify the correct printed wording for the different speaker models, if you have a pair of either :

RL1000

RL2000

RL6000

RL7000

All the models where the 'red' stripe around the case frame became 'silver', did B&O change the colour of the printing on the straps to match the stripe?

As all the ones I have of the above seem to have no wording at all.

RL1000 - owning an original pair - no wording

RL2000 - owning an original pair - no wording

I seem to remember my 45's just saying RL 45.... but I could be wrong! :-s

Come to think about it, i would like red straps with B&O RED LINE 140 in gold, font, Beofont , joking, just trying to stress you.

Re: Calling all RedLine owners for some assistance

Søren Mexico — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:39:43 GMT

hi Jay

The 2 I have here, broken straps, the left pieces, clear (milky) soft PVC.

The font ? maybe Beofont. browse the forum it has been here before.

Did you find out about hot stamping or screen printing, the pics here on this thread looks like hot stamping.

I had two pairs of RL6000s, both piano black with silver stripe. Neither had any lettering on the straps from brand new.
