I seem to remember that some one was doing a mirror / polished finish on speakers some time ago, there where some pictures of Beolab 4000s that had been "treated".

 

If you can find a way of re-finishing the panels then EUREKA! I must have thrown 50 polished panels from 9500/9300's in the skip and I have several which are not perfect but are too good to throw away.

If B&O don't supply these as a new part, you'd think they'd do a refinishing process.   We could send them off to an anodisers, but we'd need a fair few of them.....

That could be interesting... the problem AIUI is that however good the polishing is, aluminum will oxidise, and with it goes the mirror finish, and the only way to keep aluminium like a mirror is to anodise it.  If someone is doing that, then I'd be interested.  Of course the panels could be refinished as brushed aluminium ( some B&O' s are brushed finish anyway) but the mirrors are certainly prettier.

 I'm not entirely sure what the process was (the guy was obviously keeping it a secret) Craig but I don't believe it was re-anodising. His process was designed to take coloured anodised aluminium speaker bodies etc... and revert them to silver.

Chris.

I think the guy's name is Andy and I thought he was a Beoworld member.  Lee would probably have his contact details as Lee had some BL4000s "reverted" back to the aluminum/silver finish.

Graham,

I hope you don't mind me contacting you......

I picked up this thread from some time ago regarding wall brackets for the Beosystem 4500.

Guess I know the answer, but do you have any of these brackets available?

Failing that would you know of any from other sources.

Cheers
