I woke up this morning to see an announcement on facebook that B&O will be bringing back the Beogram 4000 in an updated form!
Thank you to our Sponsors
A new turntable?!

I didn't see that one coming. Is it a hoax, or is it real?
I tried to provide a link but it went into moderation. Here is the text:
MEMORIES RE-MADE BY BANG & OLUFSEN
Some things change, other things stay the same. And sometimes, very rarely, you encounter something timeless. The Beogram 4000 series turntable is one such product. Designed by Jacob Jensen in 1972, the record player is beloved the world over by enthusiasts, and immediately recognizable as such.
Bang & Olufsen is running a pilot project that aims to preserve, refurbish, and reimagine some of the company’s most iconic heritage products. The first release will be the Beogram 4000 series with the goal of updating the turntable to a contemporary product, while retaining the original design intent.

Must be a hoax, as nice as the thought of a new turntable is.
The announcement is on B&O's official facebook page. So I'm hoping this might be real.
I have indeed seen this announcement on both FB and Twitter. Something is coming up, and it looks suspiciously like a new turntable: "we are updating one of our most iconic products for contemporary use, while maintaining the integrity and timeless spirit at its core". The visual used is BG 4000. Answer between September 3rd and 5th... Let us stay tuned then!
But if somebody has some details already now, he/she should feel free to share :-)
Double post - Apologies
I can't believe it!

Don't get too excited :)
