Look for broken but cosmetically sound units and replace the cabinets - not likely to happen to be honest as most will have scratches of one degree or another.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Find a local sheet metal&amp;nbsp;fabrication&amp;nbsp;company and get them to cut you some replacement thin brushed alu&amp;#39; sheet. Easy enough to replace as they are only stuck on with double sided adhesive tape. It is unlikely that they will be able to match the original finish though&amp;nbsp;so you will need to weigh up the pro&amp;#39;s &amp;amp; con&amp;#39;s but this is likely to be your best option.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chris.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Beosystem 5000 - Aluminum Panels On Top Of Units</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/144191.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:50:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:144191</guid><dc:creator>dwwdww</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/144191.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&amp;PostID=144191</wfw:commentRss><description>I have&amp;nbsp;Beomaster 5000 and Begram&amp;nbsp;CD 50 components that could use refinishing or replacement of the aluminum panels on the tops of the unit enclosures.&amp;nbsp; Can anyone advise on how to refinish these panels, or where replacements might be available?&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
