Jeff,

It's a present for my birthday !

This clothes tree is 20 years old !

I really don't know if you can find this model today !

Happy birthday! As for the clothes tree, ah well, the search continues! Thanks...

Love our Century in our kitchen. For me, the Century is the essence of B&O along with the Beosound 2300 family with the sliding glass doors. I remember how fascinated I was with it when I first saw it in the 90's and promised myself I would get one when I grew older. People who come over are still fascinated by the "magic" of the moving glass doors.

Pic from the day of the purchase below - it's now hanging on one of the walls in our kitchen..

 

Nice pictures- both of you !

Neither one has the carrying handle/antenna.  Strange.

mine sits in my home office and bought after reading many positive comments on Beoworld....

I have the carrying handle/antenna, but i find that the FM radio signal is not very strong in my area.

So, i bought another flexible antenna and connected it instead of the original.

Now, the signal of the radio stations is very strong and the sound clearer.

And, i found that the antenna can be removed from the handle (4 screws). So maybe i just can keep the handle. It's more pratical to move the century with it.

I bought one for my little girl a few months ago. She wanted to have some music in her room.

Very nice and pretty nice sound.

The only bad point is that the century does not read copied CD she received from school or friends.

I had to add my beogram CD 7000 under so that she could play all her music......
