Hi Everyone

Many, many years ago my dad and I went to neighbours house to help 'fix' their B&O sound system. fast-forward to 2024 and I am looking for the same system as it's never really left my memory and I would like help to identify it:

It was an old system, likely 1970's - it was fitted (I think) within a cabinet, certainly the system was very cohesive. There was a turntable. I can't remember now if there was a CD player or cassette player even. The remote was heavy and very solid in-hand. 

The stand out feature was the dark (smokey?) glass cabinet and the red/orange LED lighting. 

I absolutely loved it and would really appreciate any help in identifying said components / machine.

Thanks in advance

Bang and Olufsen really have had many systems with smoked glas and red LED lightning. Just a few examples here that might hint something more:

Beosystem 6000




Beocenter 9000



 

Beosystem 4500

Just read your post again, and can see that I did not get the turntable in the cabinet in my first reading.

It could be a Beocenter 7700 wich also fits the description of the remote

They are not 1970s - but then again, there weren't that many LEDs in 1970s B&O.

Thank you everyone. I am sure it was 70's - also pretty sure it was red/orange lights - wouldn't have been LED's then but used that as an example. I just remember how sophisticated it looked and felt.
