Apologies folks, but I'm a newcomer and a relevant B&O novice.  Many years ago, I owned an exquisite Beogram (model name/number now unknown to me) which was rectangular, had a matt white casing and its top was a brushed aluminium giant slide rule, with its giant perspex cursor being the 'station finder'.  I don't know who the designer was, but to my untutored eye, it was the most beautiful piece of indutrial design I had ever come across.  I loved it dearly (it looked stunning hung vertically on an all-white wall in my apartment) and was heartbroken when I was burgled and the thieves took it.

Please can someone enlighgten me to a) its model number / name; b) do I stand any chance of picking up a mint-condition model now, or are they considered by you B&Oers to be gold dust?

Welcome. There was one for sale where I live not that long ago.

Put in a wanted here, and keep an eye on websites. eBay has them coming up frequently, and selling at very low prices, usually because of some very minor defect that is fixed with some assistance from the forum.

Could have been a white Beomaster 1200 or 2000 series???

They do come up on eBay but whether they are mint will depend on your definition!

Hello and welcome to the Beoworld forums

A beogram is a record player, my friend ;)

I think you had a Beomaster 1200, designed by Jacob Jensen, the best of B&O designers in my opinion. He designed nearly every B&O pruducts from ca. 1969 to 1987-8

Here is a link to Beocentral: http://beocentral.com/beomaster1200

I think it is most likely to be the Beomaster 1200

It is rather old today, it will probably need an overhaul to function like new, but it is surely a legendary and timeless design. They are considered a bit rare these days, but not entirely impossible to find. I believe that they are very average in performance and functions

You would not be able to hang that on the wall!!

The Beomaster 1001 could be wall mounted and was available in white but I think the face is only in black.  Was it this model that you had?

Otherwise, it must be the 1200 which come up on eBay quite regularly.  http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=320

 Stopped reading at "slide rule," after Beogram. Shame on me.
