I feel quite fortunate with my B&O acquisitions, particularly after managing to come across a Beogram 3000 Thorens, and a 12" ST/P arm for it, and shouldn't be complaining.
But I am on the lookout for a complete Beomaster, Beogram, Beocord, Beovox 1200 set - in white. Which is pretty much like hoping you will come across a unicorn in the forest.
Beosystem 1200 was the first "set" offered by B&O, and Jensen did such a wonderful job that I know I will somehow have to manage to put this together, if only to ensure that a pristine set survives for the ages. A few years ago, an English friend of mine who lives in Stockholm sent me an e-mail wondering "Do you reckon this is something to go for?"
It was a link to a Swedish "Craig's List" site (blocket.se), and it was to someone selling a Beomaster 1200 and Beogram 1200, with Beovox 1200 - all in white.
I was tempted to tell my friend "No, I wouldn't go for that." And I'm a little proud that I called him immediately and said "Drop everything, get in your car, go there with what they're asking, and go home a happy man."
He's still very happy. The owners had tended the set with absolute devotion, there wasn't a scratch or blemish anywhere.
Sigh ...
