Since I’ve got both a 1614 and a 1611, I might as well use the 1611. After all, if the BV8 TV ever goes up in smoke I won’t be replacing it with another B&O TV (given that modern B&O TVs start at £6,500!). Both the 1611 and 1614 were bought cheap so I might as well keep both, just in case.
Yes I think I will look for a cheap ML Distribution Box, especially given that I have two MCL cables already (albeit both quite short) with plugs both ends, so all I’d need is the box, plus one more (long) MCL cable.
I realise I’m going to all this trouble just so I can get the clock to show on my BL3500, which might not seem worthwhile, but I’ll do it for the same reason I fixed the tape deck on my Beocenter – it’s there, so I want it to work!
