I’ve always wanted one but those are expensive around here, at least not the price I would be ready to pay for it. Also most of them have faulty CD player…
Yes the grill is fragile, but If I had one with damaged grill I’d try to “wood” it. Should look nice!
But I rather like a nice gold or silver BS1 with floor stand.
the Beosound 3 does NOT have an aux input.
If only…
The 95 people basically received a “new” product, while the kit “only” provide a more professional refurbishment.
One can wonder if this is not only a way of speaking.
With the lack of details on what is done to the Beograms I wouldn’t consider this expensive refurbishment as “more professional” as the work of some fellow Beoworlders that go very deep into the guts of the deck (bearings, full recap, light replacement with less, …)For exemple, appart the one on the marketing photos I’ve not seen a BG4000c with the plates and the platter perfectly aligned and adjusted (you can skip perfectly if you want).
Could somebody remind us the bold lines why the 4002 is easier to service than the 4000?
I also see there’s something called an A1, which’ll be in the other end when it comes to sound,
Given you have considered a Beosystem 10 or even the Beolit 12 I’ve talked about, an A1 or even a second and A2 will not be “in the other end when it comes to sound”. At all!
I suppose they can’t be compared with the Emerge or the Level of course, that are standalone systems but they’re both very impressive speakers by themselves.
I can’t check because it’s in a box somewhere,
my soldering iron – it’s in a box somewhere …
One observation yes:
I’ve spent hours starring at non-working LC2’s guts in the hope something like you’ve noticed will jump into me and I’ll be able to repair them.
After thinking it twice, I thought that even if repaired, it would be a nonsense to have to use any 40w bulb nowadays and dropped the idea.
As fun and exiting it is to use B&O light control it do not worth it to me.
(But I still have and use my little 6 channels magical box that Beodrives intertechno switches !) 😉As far as I know, Black nose are SP 7 to X (?) and clear nose are SP10 to 14. Not the same at all. But “far” as I know may not be “far” as I believe!
Thanks for these pics Steve.
The Beogram 4000c looks really yellow compared to the rose gold in the marketing pictures. Do you know what this one is? I would have beleived all units (50 right?) would have been sold by now or at least not in the workshop.
And did you had time to talk with the guys about the name “4000” against “4002”?
Tank you.
But I just need two suitable Beovisions and a slightly older VHS player than the two I already have,
Please let me call them for you…
I’ve not been of any help in this, it’s far beyond my skills.
But I’ve felt that need to thank this ghost community (and maybe did, can’t remember, hope I did…). So even if I’m not directly concerned, I want to thank you to have taken the time to post this.

An MCL junction box?
Close! The hole (and the two the other side) are for co-ax (aerial) cables.
What? This is a genuine thing?
Really someone should call the Jarman brothers and inspire them to write “Black boxes: the underground world of Bang&Olufsen”.
I now know what it is,
A Beolab 2500 -> Beolab 90 converter? 😀
I wouldn’t say it’s a scam but at least its a misleading sale. Top and side views are not the same item: On the top view it’s a C7 power plug and there is only one “screw ear”, on the side views it’s a 12v jack and both “screw ear” are there. Definitely not a 1638 BL Active.
Strange that the Subwoofer socket is an input rather than output?
Yes, the mystery is what could this thing be for? What would be the use of a Woofer IN with two Front OUT? And if this would be some sort switch, how would it be controlled: no IR in, nothing appart INs/OUTs and Power. Should it be reversed I would understand it was what SIA43 said, but this ?
