Post some pics if you can. I have a 1975 3X+ Benge that is being replaced with a Kanstul 1600WB in goldplate hopefully soon! Been waiting for it 2 months. :( When I get it in I plan to send my Benge somewhere for a complete overhaul.

Well, my Benge 2X is back from its restoration at the Kanstul factory. It looks brand new and plays that way too I'll try to post some pics soon!!

A restoration that's worth the $$$ ---<Rick

Very nice job! Congrats on that. By the way, if anyone is interested I know where theres a 3X and a 5X for sale. Drop me a line and I'll forward the address. I've met the seller and he's an upright guy; great repairman too!

I had the photos of my Benge up for about a month now and I need server room so I'm pulling them down. If you'd like to see the them now, contact me offline.

Thanks again for all your help and compliments!!!
