Those pictures of the Beovox 3000 are the earlier ones, same as the set I have, these are Type 6210.

Regarding the 4000, this might be an interesting item for someone living at a driving distance from Bielefeld, Germany:

Maybe not a bargain, but the cube in view seems to be one of the nicer specimens. Most I see look like they have been thrown down a staircase more than once...

It's only veneer, right ?? Not sure how this will respond to these chemical removers (i assume Nitromors is something that kind of 'dissolves' old paint...).

It looks like it's paint normally used for outdoors/indoors wood like doors etc.

Worst case scenario probably will be that the veneer gets damaged so would have to be removed and renewed.

Don't know though if these speakers are worth it, can't imagine they're that rare (i mean the cubes are called

'rare' but there are piles out there, only a few really nice looking ones :) ).

The paint - I can't say for sure how to remove it, it depends on the type of paint used. Nitromors could be the only way, take it outdoors, it's nasty stuff but it works. Then careful sanding, oil, wax or polish depending on the woodsort.

There's no label with type nr on the 3000's but they have mid- and highrange switches and a 3 language paper on the back explaining about the positions of these switches,

And of course there's the connection for the cubes :).

Maybe this helps a bit to clarify...

I suppose the white ones are Beovox 4000 (6217) then, and the Beovox 3000 are 6210 ?

Hi Martin (i see you're reading...) and others: any good idea to rmove the paint ??

My old idea before this posting was to give them to whoever (since i got that other much better looking pair of 3000's) but now i find out it's a different 'toy' again, might be worth spending the time removing the paint ...

With different front attachment and golden logo instead of silver...

Great, but it would be interesting to know the type numbers too (6xxx).

...And than i took the front of a set which i have about a year or so, never paid attention to then since they looked like 'just another old set of 3000's ' to me and they're painted :(:(....

Because of this thread and the confusion i decided to dig up 2 sets of old B&O speakers which i bought together with 2 sets of cubes, these came with a recently bought set of cubes and seem to be the 3000 MK1 then ??
