Do you mean the link? This was based on the link. As you say, early 70s and very stylish. 901s are quite common (they made lots!) so don't pay too much. A

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the feedback. No, this is the point that has got me rather intrigued. It looks a bit like the Beomaster 800 in the picture (ie lovely aluminium slide rule type controls), but is a Beocenter and model number 801 so it has the AMFM tuner and amp, and separate speakers (look a bit like an early version of the S25s). Also a matching cassette deck. So I am trying to determine how rare it might be and its provenance.

Regards

I love the look of the Beomaster 800.

I can't recall ever seeing one for sale but I will certainly be keeping an eye out from now on!

HI Exsence

Simon, welcome to Beoworld !  🤒

Beocenter 801 ? Never heard of that one before but there are some odd and rare ones out there.

Does it have a serial number label with a 4-digit type number, that number could be nice to know and will tell us more - also the speakers.
A couple of photos would also be nice to see, we like photos.  😎

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your greetings.

I have checked out the excellent book by Jarman and Jarman and it looks like the beomaster 901. But if I am not wrong it was marked 801. Ther is also a matching casette deck Beocord 900 ( but again it might have been an 800 as I didnt have a chance to check out the model no on it).

It is sitting in an antiques store as a complete system with matching shelf speakers that look a lot like S22s.

So looks like I should buy it - it looks absolutely stunning! And when I have it will photograph and send to the forum.

Kind regards

Simon

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the link - I have the Jarman book but this site is far more comprehensive!

Kind regards

Simon
