    BM6000 ('80's) given to me free & gratis because "they knew I liked this sort of stuff".

    Re: Who made the best buy on a used Bang & Olufsen gear???

    Oh, one more thing - the nice condition Beovox 2200's I found locally for 25 €. Hardly a deal in the global scale, but a) "original" old B&O gear is quite rare around these parts and b) I absolutely love the sound of these little speakers!

    I'd take any of the aforementioned TV deals at double the price at once, you lucky b*rds. Unfortunately Finland had a really strong local TV industry up until the early 2000s, so the second hand market is filled with those, with any B&O set turning up maybe once a month in the whole bloody country, and priced accordingly...

    I got an 32 inch Avant DVD in perfect condition for £400 and a Beosystem 5500 with Beolab Penta Mk2's for £320, again perfect, from the same place. And I'm not telling you where!!

    But It doesnt beat my Beocom 4 won last night in the prize draw.

    Surely it was your BeoSystem 7000 for £30 courtesy of the BeoWorld prize draw Andy Big Smile 

    Mine was a complete and near perfect BeoSystem 6500 with MCP and RL 60.2's for £300 and I later picked up an Attyca stand for it for £70.  I was very pleased.

    Re: Who made the best buy on a used Bang & Olufsen gear???


    Not perhaps too interesting or new stuff but anyway:
     
     - A pair of Beovox S75 speakers for 40 euros (including postages of around 15eur!)
     - Beocenter 1400 in mint condition 35 euros
     - Beomaster 901 and Beomaster 3000 for 40 euros (!)
     
    The Beomasters needed some lamp replacing and of cource some cleaning etc. but otherwise those were complete. 
     
    Also some smaller stuff I have got (or borrowed) from a relative: Form 1 headphones, CD-TAPE adapter (for connecting a tape deck and cd-player to a Beomaster with only one input).

    Soz mateEmbarrassed

    That's the trouble with hidden auctions, if I'd seen you bidding I wouldn't have jumped in. Either way it's a bargain. Don't know what the condition is on these but if the 7700 is decent I've got a lovely place for it. Next to my PC I think and connect to the AUX input with the CX's on the wall.
