Thanks for this opportunity.
Yes, I am beo4life on eBay! Since, to do so on here is contrary to the rules of the site, I rarely advertise the fact.
I sell quite a few of these as well as Beogram 3500, 4500 and 6500. Each one is thouroughly serviced and fitted with a brand new drive belt from B&O spares stock. Both speeds are then checked with a Keystrobe disc and adjusted if necessary.
Each deck is then fitted with a newly refurbished cartridge. I get ALL my cartridges refurbished by Axel to their ORIGINAL specification and he does batches of 6-10 at a time. If the deck was originally supplied with an MMC2 with contact line diamond on a sapphire cantilever then that's the spec that it is refubished to. This is considerably more expensive than the normal refurb of spherical diamond on an aluminium cantilever.
Then they all get tested into a Beomaster 6500 amplifier with Beolab 5000 speakers using a selection of recordings on 180 or 200 gram vinyl.
And finally..........they are all guaranteed to arrive with the customer in the same condition that they left me in.
You get exactly what you pay for in this world, I do NOT sell Meccano kits!
