Should be quite easy as the Beogram 7000 is probably the most sought after deck as it will work with all the modern equipment. Also very modern looking.

Having played with the 9500, I somehow despite my nostalgia prefer (dare I say it) the Beocenter 2. I for one think the new machines (some of them) are actually better than the old stuff. I would like a

Very sad to hear of the death of Richard Wright. He always seemed like the gentlest and most modest member of Pink Floyd and Great Gig in the Sky is one of my favourite tracks. My thoughts are with his friends and family who must be devastated at the loss of such a man.
