Here's my efforts ...went down the twin passive rads route 1st time and i have to say its a very tight solution. the only 5.25 passive rads left on the market are courtesy of they guy who designed this solution, Mike Cason. He got the factory in china to do another production run of 1000 units after they had been discontinued. They were made by the same danish firm who supplied the original drivers to b&O, very high quality. He used to sell conversion kits but then then sold the balance of his stock to a company in america you still have about 600 units but i forget their name ( "madisound" rings a bell i think....). They are the only passive rads that will fit the gap (trust me i scoured the world) and were only $7 each when i bought them!!!!! I did get stung by customs and the postage to the uk was pretty horrific also......

I have just tonight done the abr repair using the underlay for laminate floors solution...quicker , cheaper , sound can't be as good as a tuned passive rad but hey..... its quicker and cheaper :)

I also have the new poly gaps to re-do the cross over but haven't gone there yet...

ok...below is link to all my B&O pics from this summer including the ABR repair and video of them doing their thing... seemed easier than inserting pics individually

I don't know Evan, bought them as they are and they look "untouched" meaning original.

RL1000,2000, 6000 and 7000 all had piano black bodies with a silver line around them.

They had black cloth rather than the previous grey. The black cloth is slightly more hard wearing than the grey which was always a bit fragile.

Interesting, I was unaware that they were available in black. They look great!

Sweet!

Were they previously white RL6000s? The white versions had silver lines, if I remember correctly.... and still named Red Lines!

Now I've got these RL6000 (type 6522) which I reclothed. Man, these are beauties. Except for the cloth the rest is in new condition, no scratches or dents to see on the cabinet. Never saw them before. They have silver lines and the surrounding is black piano laquer. So, they must have the name Beovox SL6000 (Silverline).

No Dave, you did not! Maybe I have seen your name on Ebay(B&O) as a seller, I don't know!

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for the advice and information, it's greatly appreciated. Maybe we have met on Ebay, did I buy some CX100's off of you a few years back?

Kind regards

Dave

Søren, believe me, the quality is excellent and nearly the same pattern as the original one. Got all colors. Please name my name if you order, so I can get the next for free

Quite easy Dave,

Cloth here in various colors.

"BANG & OLUFSEN" sign on the rectangle part area of the cabinet to be glued with glue spray (litterly translated dutch to english). Wait untill the glue is dry enough to push the cloth firmly on the sign. If it's to wet then the glue will come through the cloth. Before you put the cloth on the sign stretch it a little bit (you need 5 hands to do it.

For the adhesive (double sided tape) I don't have any adresses but googling on Ebay will give you many results! Put some tape as well on the 2 lines where the straps will be placed after.

Hope you can understand my work instruction in poor Dutch-English. Your name Beowulf sounds familiar. Haven't we met on Ebay

Good luck!

With these clear instructions anybody can do it , thank you for the link I've been thinking about buying the blue fabric, but was a bit concerned about the quality, and compliments for your very good job, and nice looking 60s, do you, as Rich, have a designated Fabric Selector

Hi Leslie,

I have just restored my RL140's but need to recover them, could you advise me on sourcing the speaker cloth, type of adhesive used and how to get the letters to emboss through the cloth please? Yours look wonderful!

Kind regards

Dave
