This is a detail diagram of the classic joint.

 

 

And this is the 4000c joinery. Note, this joint has an extra rebate as well as splines.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

I’ll check the dimensions of the 4000 this weekend and post pics.

I have received a great reception to offering the new plinths for sale. Over the past few weeks I have been busy making and shipping them off to people in the US, Denmark, UK, France and Germany. As such my restoration has been taken a back seat for a little bit. Here are a few photos.

I had the chassis and back parts sand blasted to remove all the old paint. The surface finish was quite rough on the inside so I had it wet blasted to bring back some shine. I then primed and painted it black. I used a spray can which was quite difficult to get a good finish but I got there in the end. On my next restoration I will use a proper spray gun as it will be way easier and get a better result.

Here are some photos of the 4000c style plinths I have been making for people. Each plinth is made from one length of timber so that the grain matches and flows around the whole plinth. From what I have seen of the plinths on the 4000c from B&O, I would say that my quality is as good, if not better than theirs. There is a lot of attention to detail on these. All joints are tight, edges crisp etc.

Here are some photos of the 4000c style plinths. The joint itself is slightly different, as well as the addition of splines. The joints are so tiny.

Well, that die-cast bottom chassis looks pristine now!

I measured my Beogram 4000 plinth and I get:

485 x 345 x 25mm

I’m not a carpenter so definitely verify that.

Exceptional work Christian. I came here for the restoration and stayed for the plinths. I’ve had my 4002 for about 2 years. It came without a plinth so I made a quick replacement. Have been looking for something more true to the OEM. Yours look beautiful. Did not see cost. Should I contact you directly?

Thanks, Calvin
