For the devotees of the best ever Beogram, Classic Audio have updated the Thorens part of their site. Included in this is a large picture of Frede's Beogram 3000 in red with 12" arm.

Beogram 3000 Thorens decks are not that common and simply outperform any other Beogram - the bass is  much more controlled and detailed - Frede has a limited number of these decks and is the approved supplier of new parts for the Thorens base for Scandinavia - he can no doubt help advise for the rest of the world as well and can provide a full restoration service for your own Beolab system or supply a fully restored system complete. For rather less than a modern B&O system, you can have a vinyl based system that will play real music as well as being the centre piece of any room, visually and acoustically. I know - I have one!
