Hi,
I have a very nice Beocenter 9500 that came into my possession for free many tears ago and has been a sturdy and reliable unit that I have tried to look after.
Unfortunately, last night a heavy item fell iff a shelf near the B&O and landed on top if it, it hut the top edge of the upper glass facia and shattered it. It’s still in situ at the moment byt us broken in to 2 pieces and has starred out from the impact point very badly.
As a temporary measure I am thinking of carefully removing it and replacing it with a piece of smoked acrylic, but I’d like to pursue replacing it.
I am pretty sure the top glass doesn’t have any touch-sensitive elements so it might be feasible to use normal glass with a matt-black backing mask, but I think it has several labels on it.
I imagine spare parts are going to be like rocking horse doo-doo.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you to our Sponsors

Thanks for using
Thanks for the suggestion but they don’t seem to have any of those glass plates in stock, sadly.
I am not sure whether it helps, but be aware that you can also use a panel from BC8000, 8500, 9000, 9300. However, you need to be aware that the control panel markings are different:
Beocenter 9000 panels (and those for the 9300 and 9500) have a "TIMER" indication on the control panel glass.
Beocenter 8000 panels (and those for the 8500) do not have this "TIMER" marking.
You may be best looking for a complete 'spares or repair' Beocenter - then you will have lots of other spares for future problems!
(I used Google AI to get this summary - but am 99% sure that it is correct based upon my previous research!)

Note that the glass panels from the Beocenter 8000, 8500 or 9000 should also be a suitable replacement. The 9300 has a slightly different layout for the lights (specifically the lights related to Tape functions, if I remember correctly).
Make sure you remove and retain the plastic surround from your broken glass, as this may not be included with any replacement that you buy.
They come up on eBay sometimes if you can be patient. I've sold some myself in the past, usually for about £50-£60.
