Rich, I am behind on my drawings for tomorrow's design class... So this will have to continue tomorrow!!!

No worries, mate.  Just happy they arrived safe and sound.

I've gotten so much help and encouragement on the site - not to mention wins in the prize draw - it's always my pleasure to help out another Beoworlder.

Rich was kind enough to give my vinyl collection a significant boost in quality and quantity. He even threw in a very nice set of notes (written by himself, no less) and also gave me some tips on record care.

Indeed very very nice Rich, that should get him hooked on sucked into the black magic hole of record collecting.

Fixed that for ya.

Thank you very much Rich, I must confess I'm not very good at mastering the many nuances of American English😁

Well I have good news and made some progress this morning - get ready, developments coming soon.

So Rich,

I felt terrible not being able to show off my new records and post them on the forum so I thought I would make it up to you by making an extra-special showing this morning.

What that means is, I cleared out half of my room and made space for the system to go where it will ultimately be once all restorations are done. Following that I had to put my 3000 back together and get it show ready. Like I promised - you are getting your pic! Once everything was clean and organized, I dug out my DSLR and tripod and started shooting - and listening!!!

Anyway, without any further interruption, here we go!!

Starting small I zoomed in on the table while the Stones were playing...

Right, forgot to mention, the stuff is still on the floor, but that will change in the coming weeks.

Switching gears now to the Pink Floyd LP 😐 Showing a couple edges of the 3000 now..

Also, like I said in the previous, there are remodeling changes happening and I couldn't find the wall plate for the outlet so please ignore the ugly details.... 

Whoops, a little out of order, but here is a nice view of the tonearm tracking the Stones vinyl.

Until I got one! My first BeoGram!!!

I got exactly the same one today!

After some cleaning it looked like new!

The hood is a mix of plastic an aluminum, not what I see on photo's on the Internet.

It has some issues to, the belt needs replacement, it needs some oil.

But mostly I need someone in The Netherlands who takes a look at it 😕

It has a SP14 but I have no clue what the condition of the needle is.

Widening the angle now, the 3000 and 1202 together.

Now let's see some color! Here is the loot, a bunch of pristine vinyl from Rich. Oh look at that! There's an S45-2 😁
