When i was wading through a pile of Beolits i collected over the years, i discovered a strange thing on the bottom plate.
Most of them have "made in Denmark" but about 1 in 4 or 5 have "imported" printed on the bottom plate.
This is with the 505 as well as the 707.
The imported types all have serial numbers starting with 16 and 7 digits, the Denmark ones start with 32 or 33 and have 6 digits.
Anyone knows what's the story behind this ?
Oh, do be careful with these details.One day you'll find that you just can't stop and, when you least expect it, the nice guys inthe white coats will come and pick you up.Just like they did me.

Oh dear, i thought you'd know this but now i caused another "case" ? :)
When you see the "white coats", could you ask them ? :)
But anyway, it kind of gives the impression some were made out of Denmark...it won't keep me out of my sleep was just wondering..
Some earlier Beolits (and the BEO610) were made in Finland by Helvar under license. Wonder if they collaborated with these as well?

The story is ....
These "importet" Beolit's were assembled in Israel for B&O.

That's interseting Frede...because of cheap(er) labour ?
And why it doesn't say: made in Israel ? (politics ?)
So far i don't see any other differences, which means they flew all parts to Israel and the whole radios back ?
My BeoLit 505 and 707 both have 'imported' written on the bottom plates as well.
