Hello all,
I am completing a challenging restoration of a Beogram 4002. I was given the turntable by a friend but unfortunately it is missing the wood trim around the base. I still have the metal frame that slides front and back to access the inside.
I want to make a replacement wood frame and glue it to the metal bracket. I have a few questions:
1. Is the base made of solid wood or is it veneered?
2. What are the vertical dimension of the wood strips ? Looks like around 25-40mm
3. What is the thickness of the base, looks like round 6-7 mm
4. What type of wood/veneer was available on the 4002? I found something about rosewood but wonder if walnut or painted white finish was also available back then. Would be easier to reproduce.
Thank you very much !
Eric
The 4002 was available in white Here,
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
All you need to do is look in the 'products' section and that will tell you the official trims of the product:

As for the measurements of the trim pieces, anopther member measured them and produced a schematic which I have somewhere. When/if I find it, I'll post it here.

Teak and Rosewood were the standard colours, white and oak are a bit more unusual.
