My BM 4500 died about 3 years ago and and like a lot of things it went into "I must get around to fixing that sometime” Despite having the original boxes I prefer to bring and collect them from repairs. It was repaired in Nice, 3 hours each way so probably the same cost as the post. I just put it back on the wall with its Beocord and Beogram. I had really forgotten how much effort goes into hiding all the cables. Enjoying it all morning !
