I have a classic Jacob Jensen designed integrated amplifier by Bang and Olufson - the Beolab 1700. This was the last integrated amplifier made by B&O. The sides are missing the wood veneer and the top has some watermarks but it still makes music. All the controls work OK except for the balance, which appears to be a little off. I've replaced the blown power light with an led and restrung the volume control.

I've included adapters for the 3 five-pin DIN inputs (tuner, tape, phono). The speaker connections are 2-pin DIN design.

Details of the amp can be found at beocentral.com/beolab1700

The amp has many features including speaker A and B or both (with ambiophonic feature). It has a loudness button and sliders for treble, bass, and balance.

It would make a good project if you wanted to restore it to a minter as it just needs the veneer and balance seeing to. Of course, you might also want to recap it if you are that way talented and inclined.

I've seen minters being sold at hundreds of dollars but I would be happy with $50 ono.

Hi LMA, if you have no other takers in the next wee while, come back to me. The newly appointed minster for finances has me on a complete lock down (COMPMETE) - but I've also got Guitardude in my ear telling me what a stonking bargain and a great project this would be for me...
All the best.

And you don't need me or anyone to tell you that B&O is still uber cool

A pic/s of the end panel/s to indicate what work is needed perhaps?

Thanks, LMA and Owen. I will post pics of the sides soon...

Check the sides out! Bit sad face but if it were mint it wouldn't be a project!

Should be no problem with a bit of simple veneering - I wonder what timber B & O used?

Veneer? Pfffft. Check out this utterly fantastical job I did on a similarly maimed Vintage Sanyo Super-Monster Receiver I received as a basket case - and from a basket case as it happens  -  a few weeks back. Made the table its sitting on on the same day out of an old packing crate and a pallet!? ...you'll have to pardon my hoighty toighty tendencies folks...   

Geez, so i'm a cynical bastard and a basket case ? Tell it like it is Johnny. For the record the Sanyo was going, original but filthy from where it had been sitting on a high shelf in our kitchen for years, so needed a good clean up, pots cleaned etc. Well worthy of what it cost you I think (oh that's right, NOTHING...) If you then want to paint it black and scribble over it that's up to you. And yes the veneer/ vinyl wrap was stuffed.
Good to see it going to a good home though, who did you end up giving it to Johnny ?

No other takers so you still want it, JH?

PS Personally, I like what you did to the top of GD's basket case Sanyo receiver!
