Oh, sorry.... "The Precious" is a reference to Gollum and The Lord of the Rings. "The Precious" is what I call the BeoMaster 4401. One day I hope to own one but apparently I'm more likely to own a live Loch Ness Monster, Flying Saucer, or Yeti. That doesn't stop me from shouting out once in awhile: "We must have it!

[quote user="beopuig"] Some pictures of my first BeoLove, that's 32 years ago [/quote] Are those M70's? Just got a pair. And the Beomaster......is that......The Precious?!?! I can't tell, but I DON'T think it has the sloping face.

[quote user="Medogsfat"] PS. I notice the looks of unbridled excitement on your girls faces when opening the box. Is there one of them in tears of dissappointment when they saw what was in there?

The tonearm counterweight and anti-skating were set for a spare MMC4, said spare MMC4 was inserted into the tonearm, and I took the RX 2 out to the garage. I hooked it up to my "I Don't Care If I Blow These Up Test System" consisting of an NAD 7140 receiver and Klipsch kg2 speakers. Back to the bedroom for an LP that's in bad shape

I opened the dust cover and took off the platter. As Evan would say, "Drum roll please...." Yes! The turntable is still locked by two shipping screws and one platter lock! This baby might be fully functional!

Once I started taking out the styrofoam, I began to think this 'table was packed better than I originally thought. The tonearm was literally in a box, and a very well chosen piece of foam was placed on the spindle. On a downer note, the dust cover is very scuffed. Can that be buffed?

Taking the paper off didn't calm my fears.
