Wow, I knew they are expensive, but....

... buy-it-now 1.350 Euro...

And the original owner only played classical music on it, which apparently means it's in better shape than if jazz or - dear-god-no ROCK - had been played on it!

It is lovely though... (sigh)

He's open to offers! 

 I don't think it's that bad if you look at the current going rates on eBay for Thorens TD 124's.  Another on eBay.de is starting at 1850€ and I saw one earlier today at over 3000€.  For this Beogram 3000, I'd be tempted if I hadn't just been made redundant!  It would go nicely with my restored 5000 system.  Hey ho.

I purchased a restored one from Frede, and knowing what he charges and cost of restoration, I think this one is perfectly reasonable in price.  Looks to be in good shape too.  Not sure what you were all expecting price-wise, but very few of these Beogram 3000s were made.  These are VERY rare. 

I, and presumably someone else agrees as it's now gone.

As a fan of classic B&0 I just have to ask, how are these Thorens decks compared to the 4000's ?
