Beomaster 8000: Unboxing and a First Look

A Beomaster 8000 arrived yesterday. I acquired it from ebay for a customer for a full restoration. It was promised to be pristine and with original box and documents and the Terminal remote. So I was looking forward to unboxing this behemoth. Today I had a look. As promised, the seller sent it double boxed, thank you for that!:

The Terminal should also be quite lovely once cleaned up:

So all in all, a pretty good starting point for a restoration!
