I have the slightly newer s45-2&#39;s which are on many respects similar.</p> <p>Mine were in terrible cosmetic condition when I bought them because someone had made a failed attempt to varnish the oiled wood with predictable reults.</p> <p>I stripped off the varnish using a commercial stripper. Hopefully you won&#39;t need to do this because it&#39;s not good for the&nbsp;veneer! Next I lightly sanded and cleaned thoroughly with wire wool. I then used generous coating of teak oil which covered a multitude of minor dents, dings and blemishes.</p> <p>Recapping was done using a capictor &nbsp;kit from Martin (Dillen) which even someone with very limited technical abilities (i.e. me!) can do.</p> <p>Good luck</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Simon</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/179639.aspxMon, 02 Feb 2009 06:22:08 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:179639sveifors0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/179639.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=179639<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I recently came across a pair of Beovox s45 in an ad . The ad&nbsp; didn&#39;t say what kind of (I belive there are 3 different), so I bid &pound;15 and I got them. When I got them they were type 6302 (1977-1978) and looked quite ok. I tried them on to my Beomaster 6000 and they worked . </p> <p>I must say I was amazed because they sounded very good. </p> <p>The previous owner couldn&#39;t have been well known to B&amp;O, because he had disconnected the DIN connector at the rear and&nbsp; made a litte hole(beside the DIN connector) to take the leads out.</p> <p>The rosewood tree cabinet was fine, but a bit neglected.</p> <p>I believe new caps and restoring the tree and connect the DIN connector these could be very nice. Are there anybody with experience on these speakers good or bad , please let me know?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
