    Re: Not strickly B&O content

    This is really a great book. You will find everything you want to know regarding the Thorens TD 124 - the most classic record deck in the world (my oppinion :) )

    Bang & Olufsen also sold a product with this Thorens TD 124 in 1968 (only one year actually) The B&O product is Beogram 3000 of 1968, this product belongs to the Beolab 5000 family. Because only one year in production at B&O this product is very rare.

    In the book´you will find 2 pages of Bang & Olufsen and of course Beolab 5000,  Beogram 3000. Find it on page 112 and 113. Guess who was invited to write the article regarding B&O Wink

    /Frede

    PS. I don't know simular books regarding other B&O products - unfortinatly.

    Beolab 5000 -  "If another amplifier sounds different then it needs repair!"

    As Frede points out there's actually a B&O element to the Thorens story. (As well as a Tandberg one, but I haven't been able to come up with any photos, Frede!)

    There's a photo of Frede's BG3000 in this thread

    Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.
