Now a change of angle! In the corner are my to-be-refurbed 2600's, crowned by my Form 2's.

Widening the angle now, the 3000 and 1202 together.

That is a great match.

In the other corner is my collection so far and some other bits.

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.

Congrats!!! You are going to love it. It doesn't matter what the hood looks like as you will never have it on the deck so you won't be looking at it! 😂

I have been investigating the belt and have contacted the BeoWorld 'go-to' Martin and he does'nt have the right one. So I'm working on this myself.

I was lucky enough to get the SP12 😁😁😁😁😁

You're welcome.  I was getting a bit obnoxious about you buying a turntable there for awhile.

Now, take care of your stylus, take care of your records, and get some stands for those S45-2s.
