Being 'Old fashioned', I notice that on many occasions, help & advice is freely given by talented, friendly, BeoWorlders but, thanks, for the help, is not so frequent. This 'Wizard of Oz' shows exactly how it should be done & is a fine example to us all. So, in future, if people take time & trouble to help You then reciprocate

I haven't the 'remotest' idea. Sorry about that!

Darn it! Just thought, in this instance I may have sent you on a 'Fools errand'. Recone do not refurb' speaker cabinets & replacing the black fret maybe comes under that heading.

Hi, Must admit I do envy you with such quality speakers. Anyway, most speaker problems can be solved by Recone Lab based in Huddersfield (assuming you are in UK). They restored my Beovox M75's & their quality of work is faultless. Try www.richardallanaudio.com/reconelab.new/ They've been going for over half a century & their service

Mother sounds like a possible 'Gold' member. John

Congratulations & you did it for the right reasons. John

Hi Folks! The happy ending to my post of 19th June. Incidentally, just noticed, I said, 'When I point the Beo4 in the opposite direction to the Beo4'. I meant to say, 'The opposite direction to the BC 9300'. How kind that nobody made a rude comment! Anyway, the happy ending is that having inserted new batteries from 'Woolies'

Well, as they say, 'Size matters', but, I totally agree in this instance.

Thanks to all who kindly replied to my query. I'll let you know the outcome. John
