Rob -
What year is your B60? Your original faceplate is the same as mine. I wanted to change it to the current faceplate, but was told it would be a lot of work.
How hard was it? How long did it take? Other than the hole for the sensor, what else did you have to drill? How much did it cost?
Sorry if I'm hijacking. Just interested in knowing if I thought it was harder than it actually is.
Hi Stu
My B60 is from 2002 I believe, and is current with the SST. The front layout is the exact same but there are 4 pins on the inside of the faceplate which line up with the holes in the chassis, the new SST face plate has one pin, the 2nd from the left which does not line up so I either had to remove the pin or drill a new hole, I chose the latter to retain the strength. It's the original faceplate which did not have a hole and that was drilled in the front, I don't know the whole story but apparently this studio version had the motorized volume control, there were extra remotes around so one of the technicians (not Bryston) installed a sensor and drilled the hole, studios do things like that so the warranty may have gone out the window, also I left the two screws just on top behind the face plate out as the holes are partially covered, although screws with a smaller head will work.
So yes there is some work involved and most likely a new cover and chassis front to make it completely kosher $$$$.
Long story short I was just about to call Bryston about a new face plate with the normal labeling of the inputs and remote hole when Tom shared his face swap and the rest was history.
