To get back on topic.

Beogram 8002 or as the tacho disc for the 8000's are aviable both are essential for your record collection in working condition.

Beocord 9000 still King! No auto reverse but still hard to beat and a class of its own.

Beovox S45 and M150. A good pair is well worth the time and money.

Beosystem 2000 Design timeless. Lowpowered and stock X35 speakers but a great system to have.

The best thing to notice is that nearly all B&O holds their value even if its old.

Already have the top off, to get at the diagrams - no label inside, just the little number stickers on the boards.

No station names on the dial, just the frequencies and the numbers.

Thanks, Steve

Thanks for the info and photos, it's very interesting.
Some BM1000's have a label similar to that at the rear found
inside, often at the vertical divider right under the dial,
visible by dismounting the top cover
but I won't ask to you to dismount the Beomaster just for this.
The numbers, you gave, suggests that this is one of more subversions
of the earliest types of Beomaster 1000.
The lettering on the dial, I suppose, could tell a bit more.
Does it have station names printed and if so danish or international
or "only" frequency and channel numbers ?

Good grief! Where did that come from? Didn't preview... Lets try this then...

I've just been taking photos.

The sticker on the back is missing, but the circuit diagram, which shows the six settings, says "BEOMASTER 1000 TYPE 2301/5-2302/5 2303/5-2305/1".

I don't suppose there's anything inside that would narrow things down any better?

Steve

ps - tried (and tried! and tried!) and failed to attach photos...

Dillen:

Yes, the Beovox C2300 is a rebadged Beovox C40 sold in the Netherlands for use with exactly the Beomaster 2300.
I also miss the Beovox 3800 which were a UK only model. Unlike the C2300 this was a unique speaker and not just a rebadged one. They come up from time to time but are too heavy for most people to ship across the water. Besides, I am not really active collecting anymore (- yeah right !). No seriously, I am always looking out for items I never had before - if for nothing else than documenting and to be able to say that I once had one.
We ran a bit off topic here I'm afraid, in that these speakers etc. are not really essential B&O things, they are merely of interest to collectors.

I have a pair of 3800s - with the rare trumpet stands! Slightly odd bass drive units as mine seem to be fully polypropylene - they are Goodmans though. Completely supplementary to my needs! If you would like them, I am sure my wife would be delighted! Not perfect but not bad!

> any version(s) with 6 voltages at the setting switch, I've only seen photos.
I can confirm these exist - the switch goes 150 220 130 250 110 240 on the back of my white key model in teak
Steve

Yes, we saw photos of it on the old forum. I clearly remember. But I don't recall if we ever found out the type number and eventual subversion...

I take it that the C2300 is a C class speaker specifically designed for the 2300 system?! Never even heard of that one!

We will have to meet up when I next come to Denmark!

Re: The essentials!

Dillen — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 01:45:29 GMT

Yes, both but only the Beocenter 3600 in palisander (arrived from the UK completely damaged but has now been restored) and 2x beomaster 2300 in teak (last one from Lee, thanks!) so still missing a couple of finishes. Also missing the Beovox C2300 - it never ends.

There is collecting and COLLECTING!! Yours is a real collection - one I dare say B&O are envious of. Quite an archive! Have you got the 3600 or 2300 yet?

Would you notice if half of them went missing? (Clitheroe)

Most items in this particular section are all fairly well documented and numbered and I do have a fairly good memory of what I own, so yes I would notice.

The majority of my collection, however, is still packed in large boxes
and stored away in different locations so even if I went there
to take a photo you wouldn't really see more than just plain boxes.

I've collected B&O since 1976, main focus on pre-1990 audio products, Beomasters, Beocords, Beograms, Beocenters, Beovox, microphones etc. etc. but also other things B&O.
It's not necessarily paradise, f.e. it does take up a lot of room and I will never get to complete the collection, frustrating.

Looping lunatic I suppose but didn't you ever try collecting anything ?

Thanks for that Martin.
