By the way, it offends me when websites don’t let casual non-logged-in users see pictures

Don’t let yourself be offended: this is a know issue that will be addressed when the voluntary guy running Beoworld will have time to sort this. In the meantime it’s possible to every member to add a simple picture as an image (with the picture button in the post compose window) and not an attachement for everyone to see it.

Anybody?

And if anyone is interested…

• You can turn the old white wool pads inside out to have a leather like surface again…
• You can also try “mad catz triton” replacement earpad: a couple of dollars, slightly larger but they should fit nicely.

God save the U70!

Hi Martin. Thanks for chiming in…

I don’t feel like it lift slower than it drops or slower than the BG12xx I own.

Of course, compared to a BG400X the move is more “damped” But nothing that I could described as sluggish.

Yes it has worked in my possession. It has even been my main deck until I get a 400X.

Hope the helps.

I dind’t see the answer until now.

I’ve contacted Beogogo, who I’d like to thank for his generous offer.

Or you may consider car covering vinyl…

Yes, I’m with you on this but i think we’ll never have another answer that the one Steve gave us earlier in this thread.

Maybe there?

I’ve always wanted one but those are expensive around here, at least not the price I would be ready to pay for it. Also most of them have faulty CD player…

Yes the grill is fragile, but If I had one with damaged grill I’d try to “wood” it. Should look nice!

But I rather like a nice gold or silver BS1 with floor stand.

The 95 people basically received a “new” product, while the kit “only” provide a more professional refurbishment.

One can wonder if this is not only a way of speaking.
With the lack of details on what is done to the Beograms I wouldn’t consider this expensive refurbishment as “more professional” as the work of some fellow Beoworlders that go very deep into the guts of the deck (bearings, full recap, light replacement with less, …)

For exemple, appart the one on the marketing photos I’ve not seen a BG4000c with the plates and the platter perfectly aligned and adjusted (you can skip perfectly if you want).

Could somebody remind us the bold lines why the 4002 is easier to service than the 4000?

I also see there’s something called an A1, which’ll be in the other end when it comes to sound,

Given you have considered a Beosystem 10 or even the Beolit 12 I’ve talked about, an A1 or even a second and A2 will not be “in the other end when it comes to sound”. At all!

I suppose they can’t be compared with the Emerge or the Level of course, that are standalone systems but they’re both very impressive speakers by themselves.

Ok, ok , ok, It’s just for display… But still…

One observation yes:

I’ve spent hours starring at non-working LC2’s guts in the hope something like you’ve noticed will jump into me and I’ll be able to repair them.

After thinking it twice, I thought that even if repaired, it would be a nonsense to have to use any 40w bulb nowadays and dropped the idea.

As fun and exiting it is to use B&O light control it do not worth it to me.
(But I still have and use my little 6 channels magical box that Beodrives intertechno switches !) 😉

As far as I know, Black nose are SP 7 to X (?) and clear nose are SP10 to 14. Not the same at all. But “far” as I know may not be “far” as I believe!

[matador]

Thanks for these pics Steve.

The Beogram 4000c looks really yellow compared to the rose gold in the marketing pictures. Do you know what this one is? I would have beleived all units (50 right?) would have been sold by now or at least not in the workshop.

And did you had time to talk with the guys about the name “4000” against “4002”?

Tank you.
