Picked this beocord 1200 up today don't no to much about these its in mint condition and perfect working order and it also came  with a load of reels to go with it, i bought it to go with the 5000 system which it does not look to out of place.

I have one in white, with one reel that JandyT kindly gave to me of Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

You're lucky it's working. The belts have usually slackened so that there is much wow and plenty 'o flutter. My counter didn't work either, but new belts from Martin sorted that one out.

What's the soundstage like from those Beovoxes? Must be a bit narrow?!

Yes i do find you have to be positioned in front of them as they are very directional

Yes I think I was in the right place at the right time, however as good as it is I,ve done some research and it would have been the 2000 deluxe model that was more apropeate for the 5000 system so this might have go for sale if I find a 2000 model in good Heath.
