to give you an idea one BM5 sold in Ireland for 650 euros about 12 months ago, and the SM5's are worth a lot more http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=89995

you have a similar setup to me, but it maybe better to just get a few things cleared up first, how many B&O phones do you currently have ? 1) Business - you are getting this line ( PSTN ) or POTS line from your "Baby Bell" or CLEC, and plugged into the socket is a B&O phone ?? 2) Home - as above, but maybe a different provider and

they look like SM5's from the early sixties, if they are in mint condition and with original box they can go for up £1000, as you have two of them, possibly £1800 for a nice pair, even more if they had the wooden box that often accompanies them. http://poppop.nl/B&O.BM5/ http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=1081

Hi Nick, any chance that you can post a "How To" for all us 5500 owners cheers Peter

Beosound 1 - what a great prize Lee - well good luck to us all :-)

this is brilliant news Nick, I can't wait to mod my 5500, well done Sir

I have six of these for sale, one pair is in very good condition and sounds really good, one pair is in fair condition and may need some components looked at inside, the last pair ( not very nice condition) is dismantled and is in bits, and would need putting back together. I also have a pair of floor stands, and a pair of ceiling mounts to go with

[quote user="solderon29"] I don't have the modded BM5500 anymore,but I do have another set.I'll have a look at modding that one,and sort some photo's You can certainly get all the bits at Maplin. Regards, Nick [/quote] Hi Nick, are you in the UK ?? Do you have a time frame in mind for when you might mod your BM ? best reagrds Peter

what a shame, I thought a newsletter about something interesting in my email folder would be fun, but nothing received so far, what sort of content would it have Lee ?

does anyone have a tatty or non working pair of passive Penta's that they want to get rid of by any chance, anything considered as I want to try and recondition a pair and see what a good ( or bad ) job I can do ???
