Hello all!

Here I am also!

Mine is a Beolab 5000 (no tuner yet) 5303, serie 08, in rosewood serial number 46619.

Will I ever find the matching tuner?

Recent purchase

Beolab 5000 (Teak) Type 5303 Serie 02 66428

Beomaster 5000 (Teak) Type 2007 Serie 1 16655

Saskwatch has a Type 2007 as well from reading this old thread!

So at least 2 of them!

Any chance of updated tables?

Peter :

The Beomaster and Beolab are well worth having restored - many of us have done just this and Classic Audio, run by Frede, specialises in exactly this.

You did however ask what these are worth. In non working order, very little - tens of pounds. A fully restored and certified pair will cost many hundreds. Whether it is worth this is clearly debatable. One does not see restored vwersions appearing on the market as on the whole they are restored to order and those ordering them would never part with them! You will find many owners will have the very top of the range modern equipment but keep a Beolab 5000 system as well.

The Beomaster 5000 is a broadcast quality tuner and the Beolab is an amplifier that is still well worth listening to with plenty of power. You could do with a better turntable though - B&O did supply a couple of decks to match the system - confusingly both were called the Beogram 3000, and even more confusingly, neither were fully B&O products!

Thanks for this advice. I just raised a new topic on my dilema, you must have replied while I was writing it. This does answer a few of my questions so cheers.

Spanner:

Thought I'd give you my serial numbers as a first post.

Beolab 5000, type 5303, serie 02, No 65395

Beomaster 5000, type 2005, serie 01, No 15492

They are both just gathering dust at the moment, along with a Beogram 1000.

The beomaster and Beogram were completely dead when I tested them recently. The Beolab was in use until not so long back, but only one of the four speaker channels is working now. Not sure what to do with them, any idea what they are worth or how much to get them serviced?

Hello Spanner,

Welcome to Beoworld !

Thank you very much for your Beolab - Beomaster serial numbers. As you can see I am trying to find out how many are produced of these classic products so every individual product id is important and helps to get closer to the true quantity.

Hello Magnus,

Congratulation with your fantastic Beolab 5000 and thank you very much for the ID.

The veneer is relativly thick. When I am restoring the wooden top cover I am sanding carefull to remove all scratches. Then I am using a very fine sanding to "smooth" the surface. The final treatment I use is bee wax (I use the product from the Danish company TripTrap).
