Hi Matador

I really like all the little details you have added to the setup 

Why not place the Beomaster in a vertical position so its visible?, I am sure the tapes could go elsewhere.

 

Thank you Beovox141,

I really like and want the Beocord in vertical position.
So, I found that:
- two components in vertical position would be too much,
- and I'm also try to avoid too much holes in the wall!

The 11kg of the Beocord (along with the reels underneath) also acts as counterweight for the 6kg of the Beomaster on the shelf.

That said for the photo, I've forget to raise the little feet under the Beomaster which tilt it forward giving a little more access to controls.

The system is finally complete: Beocord 1200, Beogram 3000, Beomaster 1001 and Beovox 1001.
All working, but unfortunately, not as good as they look, but that's another thread…

And of course with reprinted User and Service Manuals 😁

 

Really beautiful matador, thanks for sharing the pictures of your setup.

Just a question: the record player on the pic looks like 1202, not the 3000?

Thank you the_o_master and Jeff,

Yes, very fine observation! I was sold a beogram 3000 (medium condition) and a beogram 1203 (bad condition).
I was looking for the peg platter look, god knows why.
But the BG3000 appears to be more functional at first so I kept it swapped the platters.
In the end, the 3000 had a very loud 50hz hum i dont know how to get rid of.

Since this morning I tried the 1203 which has no hum (but is a very little bit slow) and ends up replacing the 3000.
In the process, each turntable get his respective platter back!

So now it's look like as I like and ALSO as it should!

Happy they sound as good as they look

Our Avant 55 MK1 replaced our old BV8-32 in the bedroom. Connected with an ATV we have all the media entertainment we need ;-)

And with a 55” I do not need my glasses anymore when I go to bed 😎

Because the tv is so close to the walls I had to disconnect the stand for now.

Leave me alone, I am watching TV! 😁
