Very nice! I would get the cubes though! They do make quite a difference - very useful for widening the sound stage.

Very interesting collection - I think this era may well be the high point in build quality which started to drop at the end of the 70s.

Great collection, the sixties do have some awesome equipment! I like the Beomaster and Beolab 5000 of course, and the 42v record deck as well. I wonder who still sells blank "reel" tape? I'm assuming someone does, but I haven't looked for any in a long time. I'd be curious to see how the beocord sounds.

Similar to my own collection - and very nice Richard :)

Love the RG Compact and the Beolit 1000 *drool*

Here's an overall picture. I have a BM3000 slide rule too, but thats connected to the computer so couldn't get in to the pictures.

BL5000 set up sitting on the 900RG Compact and being kept company by a Beolit 1000 oh and a 42v record deck.

The Penta's might not be from the right period but they go really well with the 5000.

Hopefully there's not much more I need to complete the collection. Cubes would be nice but they wouldn't get used. A BG 3000 would complete everything but they are rather hard to come by.

After a few years of collecting B&O and having loads of things from different decades I decided that it would make sense to concentrate on one era. As I wasn't going to get rid of my BL5000 system I thought that the mid to late sixties would be the period to collect. So a few things have just joined the stable and I thought I would share some pictures.

A 900k. Its an early one judging by the numbers.

Beocord 2000 T. Doubt I'll ever really use it, but it looks nice.

Beomaster 1000 and Type B speakers. I really like the look of the white key version.
