[quote user="Dave Moulton"] I hope this helps. [/quote] It does (I hope also to the original poster and others wondering) and as always is a pleasure to have you here, Dave. I can only say that I have basically (rather unsurprisingly) the same experience with my BV5. Good it has a motorised stand (and I can sometimes be alone with it ). One

[quote user="auclutch"]thanks, i'll give that a try when I get home. i am slightly worried that the glass might detach if I place too much pressure on it.[/quote] I wouldn't attempt to use pressure ... instead - only if you feel comfortable with that - put the BS9000 flat somewhere save (your bed eg) connect it to power and open the

[quote user="j0hnbarker"] [quote user="mbee"] Denmark & Czech Republic is the same country: Europe! [/quote] Ouch! Not on this side of the Channel it isn't!
