A Hyperbo 5 RG Steel if I'm not mistaken.

That'll be a replica I think? Someone at the Struer Museum said they were so rare the one they have on display isn't an original.
A truly legendary piece of design!
Hi Lee,
Good guess, but the truth is far more interesting... This isn't a mere replica, it actually works! Full details to follow shortly on my YouTube channel!
Hi everyone,
Many thanks for all your replies. I am pleased to confirm that the full video will go live on my YouTube channel at 9am (UK time) tomorrow morning (Friday 24th Sept) here: https://youtu.be/QqINcGP8iQ4
That one looks really fine. Can't see a scratch from here
It has four adjustable switches, and they are square and looks to be of some shiny metal.
I have seen another Hyperbo 5 RG Steel which had black adjustable switches. Also four.
I guess they used different switches over time in the production of these RadioGrams.
I have attached a photo to my reply here. It shows a model that is different from yours and the one I refered to above.
It has five white switches and it has a metal pipe "leg" that I guess supports the weight.
Do you Steve or anyone else know why this one is different from the others, and is it still a Hyperbo 5 RG Steel? Or does it have another name?
Thank you
Hi Champbeo,
Yes, I also found that picture - as far as I am aware it is another Hyperbo 5RG but I guess someone with more vintage B&O knowledge will correct if I'm wrong! Full details to be shared on my YouTube channel from 9am (UK time) today here: https://youtu.be/QqINcGP8iQ4
It is time for the full story to be revealed!
Is this the vintage B&O find of the century? A previously unknown Hyperbo 5 RG Steel - and it actually WORKS! See the full story here on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/QqINcGP8iQ4
Hi Peter,
I think Peter Bang had the B33 chair, but yours are a very similar design and a perfect match for the Hyperbo 5 RG! Love your setup, very nice!
