Anyone know where I can buy a 25mm strip of "Rosewood" veneer for a Beocenter 7002 ? I realise it is illegal to sell the proper wood. But understand B&O used a different wood and dyed it.

It has become difficult, that's right. But there are still sellers around.Look for Rio Palisander.

Thank you Martin, I did get some edging a while back, I think it may have been Rio Palisander but it was much to light in colour. I intended dying it but never found the right colour. Has anyone found a good match or combinations of dye?
John.
I found some here they have some sample packets 4"x8" and I used these for small repair jobs on rosewood and teak.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Rio palisander is very close to what B&O used.If you are replacing whole panels rather than doing minor patchwork, there's usually no need to dye it.
I intend replacing the whole panel but it will be housed in a SC70 unit if I can find one in Rosewood so it would need to be the same colour. Not sure what edging strip I have, so I will look for Rio Palisander edging strip.
