Jandyt:

Looks good mate!
Does it match well to your volume lights?
I hope it doesn't fade to brown with the heat from the bulbs.

Well, as I said before, those are LEDs anyway. So there is no heat. Let's hope it lasts forever.

By the way, it doesn't really change the colour. The LEDs are already green/red anyway.

The coloured tape (or now paper) is just there because of the B&O perfection thingy.

If it wasn't there the panel would just be white when the LED is off. I guess they thought it would look silly that way...

Maybe someone has the same problem and needs a good solution (I finally had the time to do this):

I couldn't really find any colours that matched the original colour of the tape. I ended up using coloured transparent paper - looks great and is way easier than painting the whole thing.

I disassembled it some time ago; it is definetely tape. Two stripes of red one for the source and volume LEDs and two stripes of green one for the other three LEDs.

But paint is a good idea, too. I will try to get something in the matching colour.

Are you really sure that it is a tape and no paint? When i look at a MCP5500 or BM5500 then it is a clear paint, printed on the glass.

And the defects on some MCP's look quite the same like on your BM2000 ...

I used paint for glass works from the hobby shop.

New adhesive tape (Source LEDs) for Beomaster 2000?

I hope someone can help me with this:

I still have a Beomaster 2000 (the 80s model) in daily use. It is in perfect out-of-the-box state, without a single scratch. It really looks like it was manufactured just yesterday and still works great.

But as a perfectionist I have a real problem with the only optical fault: The original red-transparent adhesive tape for the Source LEDs became loose on some spots and there is air under it. I added a picture so you understand what I mean.

Unlike in the 1900, in the 2000 there are no colored plastic covers above the lights, it is just a adhesive tape taped over the cut-outs in the glass from the inside.

Where can I get that tape? As I mentioned it is some sort of transparent red tape.

I am also looking for a green one for the Stereo and the Tuning calibration LEDs.
