Tis with much sadness I offer my pride and joy for sale. A stunning example of this wonderful amp that has been fully restored to the highest standards costing in excess of £1000. I have receipts should anyone need them to verify works done however there is an extremley detailed blog in the following link.
Since initial running in, and tests by the repairer the amplifier has been used for less than 40 hours approx. As much as I love it and know I wont ever be able to get one like this again, it is on offer to a new home. My reason for selling is that it has never really been appreciated by 'she who must be obeyed' and our new lounge re-vamp lends itself to switch to Beolab speakers.
I will consider a part exchange for Beolab 5000 flat panel speakers.

It comes with the remote as per above link and anyone collecting the amp can have the current dumping transformer for free. (around £70 new). This is needed as it is a U.S. spec machine.
I would rather the amp is collected that way the purchaser can see it working in its full glory. I do have the expensive packaging from when it was sent to me from the U.S. so I may consider shipping at the purchasers risk and expense.
I wont let it go cheap the asking price doesnt cover the restoration let alone the initial purchase price, and yes there is one on EBay at the moment for less...but to find someone to take on the restoration of a machine like this is very difficuilt and very expensive.
Any purchaser will not be dissapointed, I am a genuine B&O ethusiast this sale is purely to change to active speakers.

I have a pair of Beovox 5000 flat panel speakers, sonically perfect, cosmetically fair. Couple of small holes in the fret corners, stainless panels have several noticeable scratches and dents, never bothered me as I like my vintage hifi to show a story. I brought them from Lifestyle AV about 2 years ago. Great things!
£250
a pair of 1986 Beovox Pentas, usual re-foaming needed to midranges, and usual age related marks scratches and minor dings to the stainless. Missing a couple of the brass trims. Sound unbelieveable!!!!!!!
£200
All above items can be seen in situ and fully tested in my house, Herefordshire, near Ludlow...HR6
