I've got the dreaded Man Flu so will be in bed but will be there in spirit. Great prizes yet again Lee.

Heres a couple of pics of my S290 900k. As can be seen it features the voltage control so maybe we can now say that the S290 was an export model. Martin, if you have a wooden 5000 please put up a picture if its not hidden away.

[quote user="Dillen"] I saw a S.290 too a couple of years ago but I'm not sure if I have any photos of it. Martin [/quote] My 900k that you did a couple of things to is an S290 but I dont know if there are any differences between it and a slightly later 900k

Martin, the brochure says it was equipped with a socket for adding the FM decoder but it does seem like it was a prototype so could have been different to the production model. I think they just copied the description from the 900k and took out the bit about the AFC circuit. That 610 is an absolute beauty! Unfortunately its added another one to my wants

Thanks for that Peter. Any pictures of a wooden 5000 system? Im not sure if it would look nice or not.

Woah, thats a big picture! The Brochure also lists the 900K as we all know it, I just wonder if the Master was ever sold anywhere. What other strange versions of things are there, like the black 4401 etc.

I have a brochure from 1964 and one of the products it lists is called simply the "Master". Basically its a BM900K. The only difference I can find in the specs is that it comes without the AFC circuit and no stereo light. Does any one know if it was ever actually produced or if any one owns one.

Oooh, I've got £50,000 lying around, what should I spend it on? I know, my 1995 Astra Van! Lee I bet it would great with Lifestyle logo's on it. It would show your customers what great taste you have.

It wasn't "cheap" but it certainly is a good one. It doesn't sound as good as my bl1000 but I can't compare it to a colour radio as I have never had one. I prefer the old school look of this though. It looks old, the beolit 1000 looks as it could have been from the 80's, which is a good thing too.

I have a UK price list from March 1982 that states that the Beogram 1700 came equipped with an MMC10E and it cost £99 all in. The list is from Nottingham Sound and Vision.
