Alastair:

Thanks, no I'm yet to find a tuner, thanks for the thread it sounds like someone's BIL could get a nice little business making these! I know I'd buy a set!

I happen to have (2) two extra tuners (in the states) if you would have an interest in one (palisander and teak).

Oh, I have plenty of work for him besides the BL!

But perhaps not as much as my sister!

Alastair,

Welcome to BeoWorld!

Great piece you have there! Do you have the tuner also?

Take a look here for a recent discussion RE: wooden bits for BL/BM5000...

My BL has damage in the same place as yours and I will be having it redone soon.

Regards,

Hi,

Finally I have my Beolab sounding fine and thoughts turn to cosmetics. The wooden cover is badly damaged, the chipboard has swollen and crumbled on the ventilation strakes. I was considering getting a real wood cover made, has anyone ever done this? Or does anyone have access to an original?

Thanks...Alastair
