hmmm.....if it costs 10k to cobble together a Beogram 4002 at todays rates the cost of producing a BM 6000 would be eyewatering, where would all the little clutch assemblies and feedback pots come from? not from China that's for sure......

Maybe I should recreate some real BG 4000 and put an internal RIAA inside.

give him a new wood shape and the box I think I can do too😂

maybe a good Idea would be I recreat a Beolab 5000 and Beomaster 5000 for it and give it the same wooden frame.

think oak would be beautiful.

and I can sell the hole system for 10000€😂😂😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈

Hi Schletti

That's a good idea, had a similar idea too 2 years ago, nobody liked it, so the Oakpanels stay still home ;-((

And finally the new BEOGRAM 8800 is presented in this Link:

Fourth line states: "In 1965, Bang & Olufsen produced its first record deck, the Beogram 1000.", which is factually (VERY) wrong, so I stopped reading. Design is a matter of personal taste (and the design presented in the link is definitely not my taste), but one could at least get the facts right.

Some young designers (or so called…) like to design weird looking object with unreal specs and stick a B&O logo on it.
But most of the time they lack the very essence of what B&O design is or was.

This deck is nothing B&O to me.

Forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject, but what is factually wrong?

1. Bang & Olufsen made record decks since apprx 1930.
2. The first Beogram 1000 wasn't produced in 1965.

- And the Beogram 1000 pictured has black surface so isn't first edition (which was more like "Hammerite" grey).

Beogram 1000 was the first record deck to be given the name "Beogram".
Before it was the 606,607,608,609 and the 41V, 41VF,42V and 42VF.
Before them came all the Unitape models, all the S-type furnitures and lots of Radiograms and record deck chassis' for building in to existing furnitures.
If we go way back, Bjarnes 5-Lamper radiogram (year 1932) was one of the first (the record deck was also available separately):

after calling around and around I managed to buy one from a dealer in Denmark. SO, there is still a chance with a bit of persistence. Delivery in December though.

Whilst I do completely agree with you, I have to say......................I quite like it nonetheless!
