Over the last weeks I acquired a beocenter 9500 in very good condition, a pair of RL 140's and 60.2's. I also found this one! I have seen them before, but no product page whatsoever, they seem rare... Really like it!!
The other side:
If wanted I can take some better pictures for a product page.

Wouter: they seem rare...
Not really, just an ordinary aux expander (ritje Kaatsheuvel of op laten sturen?)
Got two of those...

Collectors don't use, they collect, right?
Leslie: Collectors don't use, they collect, right?
collectors also use till they have enough and then only collect...

Vintage Bang & Olufsen
Leslie: Another item added to my collection.
Is it the one from moseskov / Benny?
BM6 right?
No, not from him (mine are mint, except for the switch :-) ) but he seems to have an awfull lot of "rare" stuff as if they were peanuts.
A new home for my Serene
Wouter:a pair of RL 140's
So what do you gonna do with the RL140's, they definitely need a refoam job and cap replacement. Maybe renew the cloths as well?

Wouter:I do not think that the fact that you own one or more is a good measure of the rarity! :-)
Well, I saw a few on Ebay and the fact I sold one to a member and have 2 more left I don't think this is a rare item, at least not in Holland.
Maybe in other countries, I don't know.
Wouter:Love the mic, it's beautiful!
It is, especially the wooden case.
Wouter:I was thinking about using them with my beomaster 8000
Do it, the combination RL140/BM8000 is magnificent. Met a BW member in Houston who I helped reclothing his RL140's and the sound is "awesome"
My expander, left for in and right for out
B&O? No, but aluminium for respect. (genuine LR )
blah-blah and photographs as needed
Leslie: Do it, the combination RL140/BM8000 is magnificent. Met a BW member in Houston who I helped reclothing his RL140's and the sound is "awesome"
But first I have to repair the beomaster 8000
Orava: My expander, left for in and right for out
Tell us more about that one!

There is really not too much to tell, it comprises all stock parts.
There is two 3x4 Elna rotary switches, on backside there is 4 inputs (DIN7 and RCA) + 4 outputs (Din7 and RCA) connecting left, right and datalink on DIN. Knobs are solid aluminium and all packet in casted aluminiumbox.
I do use it to connect a CD of my choice to amp of my choice, witch ever it will be at tihe time, so it can be called X-switch.
I like it! maybe I build one like that someday
It is very usefull
I'm considering to do something similar for speakers
My second Beolit (after Beolit 1000)...
...
and I want only one more in my collection and that is Beolit 500 (type 1101, the old one)...
OK, and maybe one day The Beolit 39....
You want another 800? :-) or Beolit 610 de Luxe?
Hi Leslie,
no thanks, one more Beolit 800 would be nice but as always, the place is the prblem ;-)
But if you can offer me the Beolit 500, I am interesteed in!
And what happened with all those BEO610's? I am still looking for one power main unit and in a meantime also for one button (the ON/OFF one) and the lower part of the battery tray. Any chance that you can provide me with this parts?
Best regards,
T

I will!

On hold now but still in my closet. Get lots of requests from members but sometimes (to be honest) I'm a bit lazy, sorry for that. Waiting for spring to do my restorations outside in the garden. Can't wait....

Oouhhh, having a nice garden I can fully undersatand you...
But please do not forget me
Another item added to my collection
For sale?
No, sorry, not now.
So, today I went on a little trip to buy a few things...
Hmmm...
Some of the functions are named different.
Rosewood and teak? on the sides...
Sadly they do have some heavy marks and scratches.
Oh, and in case you shouldn't have guessed it yet - yes, it has a red label on the back side (BM doesn't have one though)!
More to come in a moment!
/Dennis
Congratulations Dennis, what a fantastic find!!
Very curious what you have to show next Dennis! Where do you store all your stuff
Thanks Henrik!
That's not the only items I bought though!
As you probably know, this wasn't called BeoCord 6000 but BeoCord 5000 when it went into production. A red label is also to be found on the backside of this one.
I also bought this nice BeoMaster 5000. It should work perfectly, but it could use a bit of TLC on the outside - the printing on the front is intact and hasn't faded though!
A bit OT, but a while ago I found out, that I have a pair of B&O speakers, that aren't mentioned on the product specification pages (At least I can't find them). BeoVox S2400 they are called. They were probably made to be sold with the BeoMaster 2400 back in the days. On the left side of them you can see my newly refurbished BeoMaster 8000 - I will tell more about that one in another thread any time soon.
Does anybody else have a pair of these speakers or know something more about them?
Leslie: Very curious what you have to show next Dennis! Where do you store all your stuff
Take a look at the previous post!
Regarding your last question: Do you know how many times I've been wondering the same, when I've seen the pictures you've posted?
I guess I have a very tolerant family and a fantastic ability to spot any unused space, where another piece of B&O could be placed. My room is only 12,5 square meters!
Oooh, the Beocord 6000!! Ok, small difference to the released product, but still a really nice artifact to own! Congratulationa!
Regarding the speakers: I've have never seen those, but I've seen some s45-2s with "S4500" badges.
I just brought this set home from an auction. (25€). BM1000 & a pair of Beovox 1500 type 6209.I'm quite surprised how good those speakers are. Excellent sound and quite large for there modest power rating.
I'm generally quite amazed how good the speakers from the late 60's are. I have in my collection BV3000 type 6220, BV 2600 type 6224 and now BV 1500 type 6209, and they all surprise me positively when I listen to them.
//Bo.A long list...
Beovox 1500 also always impressed me.Quite a rare speaker nowadays but what a wonderful sound and the Beomaster 1000 is an excellent match.
These are things are from a time where pleasant sound mattered more than small file sizes.

Dennis how do find these proto types?
Hi Orava, that switch set up is quite ingenious,i have a need for something similar
my problem is i have a beomaster 1200 and a beomaster 1500 but only one pair of beovox CX50 speakers, i have to keep unplugging the 2 pin din from the speakers to change to the other amp
how could i make a simple switching unit to keep it all set up easily
i would love some big speakers but can't get them to Thailand

I use this one, thinking about one more, then its possible to combine as you wish. it works splendid, without any distortion that I can hear.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Wow, that looks pretty neat, do you change the plugs or use adapters, what about the 5 pin connectors from the amps
wait a minute, i am thinking about this all wrong, i am just connecting speaker cables, yes,so i only need 2 pin din at the amp end and open wires at the other end, same with the speakers, 2 pin din at the speaker end and bare wire again at the other end, that's right isn't it?
