Thanks Rob, pleasure doing this kind of "inventive" work but to much things I wanna do at the same time, bit chaotic but lot of fun. The cubes 2500 work are to be started up soon as I already have made the base replica. Pictures will follow soon...

Leslie. This is why I like this forum so much, super inventive!

Great news for all who had the glass panel broken. And even better news for all second hand systems and components not being stripped as spare parts just for the glass panel, ha ha!

Regards, Robert

Sh1t, wish pushing the "post" button responds a bit earlier (double posted!)

Well, still 9 panels to finish but at the moment I'm doing a lot of restorations on B&O vintage stuff, so the panels are on hold. You have my number, remember?

Hi Leslie,

Came back from holiday. The weather looks like autumn and guess what? My glasspanel of my BM4500 in my office at home came down, hit the BC9500 and broke the plastic cover and scrathed the mirror plate of the BL7000 which is on a glasstrolley under the BM4500. [:'(]

Never thought it could happen to me..... In some earlier post you said to write a HOWTO/ DIY. I would like to make some panels, if I just know where to start..

Have made 10 panels for the Beomaster. But (maybe) later I will make them for the Beogram CD.

Thank you Søren for the link and Eric, it's not really a challenge, more fun to do and maybe others can do something with it! Soon I will post some pictures for the "workinstruction"!

Leslie,

Amazing, amazing work. Well done. I was wondering when someone would have the guys and skills to try this. Beautiful job!

Hehe! Well, I'm a typography geek! :) When it comes to Arial vs Helvetica, the "R" ang the "G" is the most obvious difference. Unfortunately, Frutiger is not a free font so you'll have to but it unless someone is kind enough to lend it to you ;) I'm at the summerhouse at present and do not have access to my font collection.

Older B&O equipment (all 70's stuff and most of the 80's gear) used Helvetica, newer uses B&O's own variant of Frutiger.

Thanks Henrik,

You confirmed what someone else told me to do, and thats the Frutiger font.

Where can I get that and how on earth did you knew it is Arial

Next panels (name it) will be done in Frutiger if I can get it! Thanks for the tip...

Amazing! Really impressive! Great work, I only have one minor gripe: you should use Helvetica or Frutiger instead of Arial! :-) ...but apart from that, great work!

Olly, you think I should take the red one?
