Sunday I went to Normandy to try the nice gift Leslie offer to me ;)
I have been really surprise by the soundof this small and beautifull, the system with its 2 small legs is incredible and it's really a pleasure for picnic (even if the wether was poor) ;) !!!
Do someone know if there is an external power power for this Beolit (I think not). Battery are expensive but it deserve it ;)
Pictures are good but video are better (sound come from the radio but the iphone mic is not very good ;)) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFUl97YBh3Q
sorry, it is my first try with video, next time I will try to do better ;)
Hello Jacques,
This Beolit is superb, I did not know that model, I will complain to Leslie as I am jealous.
It is strange there is apparently no input for external power supply. Sure you will get an answer.
Have a nice day
Alain
I was afraid of that Alain, but one of the reason was the excellent trade Jacques and I made. He got a Beogram 4002 and I got "other goodies". Also as a gift lots of French cheese and baguettes. That made my decision quite easy to give him this mint Beolit 800. Next time when you have the chance to visit me in my B&O toyshop you will get some of my vintage stuff.

Great picture, it really made me smile.
Hi Leslie,
You do not have to be afraid or take it seriously I was just joking and teasing as I am very happy business and relationship are going on nicely.
By the way the BM2400 was unpacked today, it is working fine and will make someone happy.
I am looking forward to start my re novation works for the BM 2000 and will keep you posted.
Have a nice evening
See you soon
I will try to post pictures and videos of all the travels I will do with this beauty .I think this is the B&O stuffs my GF like the most and we will take it with us every time we could ;).
thank you Leslie , and Alain, see you soon ()
What a lovely picture! Wish I was there listening to the Beolit instead of in this -15°C weather... (at least there's only 2 cm of snow)

This weekend, no long trip to see my friend Leslie or to go to the sea !
Just grab a sandwich and eat it in front of the Eiffel tower ;)
A good sandwich, some nice music played with the beolit, what a wondefull moment (thank you again Leslie !!!!)
Beautiful Paris, Eiffeltower, wanna see that once I get the opportunity to get there for my work. Are there any refineries over there?
Nice Beolit 800 "woodwork"
Merci pour le reportage, il est vrai qu'il faisait beau et que l'on était mieux dehors avec cet air frais.
Bonne écoute

After weeks and weeks of hard work here in Paris, I finally found the time to go to the sea this weekend.
I went to the far west of France in Brittain (in the North of Brest, a city named Landeda).
Surprisingly, I received BBC classic on FM there. Nice place, nice music, nice sound, nice weather, (but, as always, poor pictures;))… a perfect B&O moment.
If some of you are interrested, I discovered a very nice hotel there ;)
This saturday, I went to see my friend Leslie and bring my beolit (back home ;)) and, of course, some french cheese and bread ;) (you can see some Maroille and brie de Melun in the picture, but I also brought some saint Marcellin, Laguiole and goat cheese) !
That was a very nice lunch and afternoon (but too short) ;).
I think I have been eating to much fromage that day so that's why my stomich got upset. Good grieve...no better cheese then French cheese!
Back from some holidays in south of France (near Ste Maxime), beautiful region that I really love !
Always with my beolit of course ;)

very nice afternoon in Auvers sur OIse (city of Van Gogh near Paris). Not a nice weather but charming city ;)
And, of course, nice music during the lunch in front of l'Oise !
My goodness, your radio sees a lot. Can I take it with me? Trip to Singapore soon...

Jacquesboo you really wake up memories from the 60es, your posts cheers me up, and I really want one too (and a life supply of batteries ), Keep them coming I love this thread
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.

Leslie flies a lot but not this radio I fear customs could believe it is a bomb...
Søren Mexico: (and a life supply of batteries ),
(and a life supply of batteries ),
I have some but it is incredible how long they last (I only changed them one time) . Finally, it is much more practical than anything rechargeable.
Can I have the radio back? :-)

Wish I could but my manager does not allow me to do that. We have some affiliates in Australia but never got the chance to get there. Would have been a great opportunitie to see you in the flesh instead of all those "chats" on BW. Thanks for your invitation....
of course my friend but I am sure my girl will come to bring it back home
loving the adventures of your BeoLit 800.... keep on posting please
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
Finally found myself a Beolit 800 and found this thread made me want one even more!
Will post some pictures later on,
Ben
A radio with a built in fishing rod! B&O were well ahead of their time!
Great pictures. Mine is just on a shelf in my B&O room.
