With all due respect, I change MX covers daily, and I can guarantee that you need to use the correct rear tube cover for the age of television, otherwise you do not get a perfect fit, with gaps around the edges

Yes but It's an MX3000, and also MX2000 are not worth spending any money on. if it was an MX3500+ then yes, and having in mind a brand new MX4200 cost £650

Thank you all for your input.

I cannot find any white or silver MX 3000-specific cover on eBay right now, thus I am open to buying any other color one of you may have and then have it resprayed (I will keep my black one in case I change my mood later on).

Do you have any left at Lifestyle AV (I understood you have a green one; I sent you an email directly at your Lifestyle AV address)?

Cheers, js

The inner part of the back part is not the same as MX3500 and up! but as I remember some of the screw holes will align but not all, so it's possible to change them...

Hello js!
The colored part of the rear cover can easely be changed (just a few screws). The part is identical on all 21" MX (from MX3000 to 4200) and should be available at your dealer.

Hello JS

I'm afraid to say that Foxtrott is incorrect.... the covers all look the same but have a different screw alignment on the inside.

The black tube housing at the extreme rear of the set is a seperate part (unattached to the coloured portion), and needs to be screwed to the coloured section before attachment to the television.

The problem arises when you try to attach an older set's rear housing (such as the MX3000's) to a newer coloured section - the screw holes on the rear section will not fit the screw holes on the coloured section.... so be careful when purchasing a new rear!!!

The only possible way around the problem would be to aquire a new tube covering as well - an MX4000/4002 cover will fit your MX3000, but you'll need to remember to swap the green sticker holding the serial number and other important information!

Hope this helps.... take care when taking yours apart though! One slip and you could be in for a shock!

Hi,

Nothing available at the moment I am afraid.

It is possible to remove the cover and after a light sanding with say 800 grade wet and dry and a good cleaning off, you can respray.

Regards, Neil

Yes it is very straightforward to swap the cover but be careful not to touch any of the internal electronics whilst doing so as you can get a potentially fatal electric shock from a CRT.

I'm sure one of our members are likely to have a replacement cover.

Chris.

EDIT - just beat me to it Foxtrot

Alternatively you could ask Lee at Lifestyle if he has a white one or look at ebay as the pop up sometimes. I if am not mistaken Beoworld member "nobby" also repairs/sells B&O TVs, so he might have one or could help you tracking one down.

Beovision MX 3000 - change color

Dear all,

I still own a black Beovision MX 3000 (which I purchased when I was 16 year old...). I consider using it again in a Link room, but I would like to change the color into white. Do you know whether it is possible to change the back cover piece and how I can get a white one?

Cheers,
