I quite like it although a friend is using it at the moment as I don&#39;t need it. I replaced the caterpillar bands which tend to break. The buttons don&#39;t click on everytime but I don&#39;t feel like fiddling with them as they work most of the time. They don&#39;t go for much on Ebay, some of them don&#39;t even sell. As Dillen says they have a nice sound.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/125636.aspxThu, 26 Jun 2008 05:46:03 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:125636Dillen0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/125636.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=125636<p>There are two Beomaster 1700&#39;s.<br />One is a tuner only, meant for use with the Beolab 1700 amplifier, both in the front operated stacking design.<br />The other is a complete receiver with tuner and amplifier, operated on the sloping top with the two caterpillar bands.</p><p>The latter is in my opinion one of the most beautiful and extraordinary designs from Jacob Jensen.<br />Glass and anodized aluminum. A classic really and definitely one of my design favourites.<br />Performance may not be that special but it has a fairly good reception and a pleasant sound.</p><p>The caterpillar bands tend to slip and the same goes for the button-operated clutches they drive. Usually&nbsp;fixable though and at some point B&amp;O realized&nbsp;the problems and even made a kit to correct it (sadly no longer available).</p><p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/125611.aspxWed, 25 Jun 2008 17:47:05 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:125611Jandyt0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/125611.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=125611Not really,though it is funky with the caterpillar tracks.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/15664.aspxMon, 21 May 2007 15:13:51 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:15664BenSA0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/15664.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=15664<p>I just one a bid for a Beomaster 1700 on Eaby for 1 pound 75!! Its in good cosmetic condition but is untested. I couldn&#39;t resist though. Is the Beomaster 1700 consider as a good product?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
