Hi all
Picked up a beomaster 5000 tuner a few weeks ago in good working order,cometic condition is ok but i would like to get it looking crisp, i have refubed all the rosewood and thats looking great no scatches or scuffs but how do you clean the dial pointer its got a smokey colour to it when it should be clear.

Hi
your beomaster 5000 tuner is mint, don't think i would get it to that standed. So there no way i can clean up the pointer i've got ,if so what with.

I have saved some of the sliders with a head light restore kit, but some of them are impossible to get back to "clear" and stays yellow or smoky

Would like to see yours if you have a camera
Hi i will upload some pics soon
As you can see the slider on the beomaster 5000 tuner has a smokey colour to it and the lettering has gone (channel-frequency).
How do you go about replacing lettering.
Looks still okay to me! I have good experiences putting acrylic in dish soap.
I need to do another Beomaster where I have to put the CHANNEL and FREQUENCY text on the slider. I have a special printer where I can make aluminium stickers. Will post a picture of the result later.
Thanks for that, do you sell these stickers you make.
Regards marc
Let's see first how that looks like, why should I ask money for just a bl.. (sorry Xmas) nice sticker.
There are other alternatives like transfer letters (e.g. Mecanorma). Not sure if they still make them.
