What is this? - Help please

11 replies

I have found a most strange product.

The label:

NR 5000 - Type 2012 - Serie 02

Nr. 74723

Of course I have the product here, but I will wait to tell what it is (or supposed to be) until I have a couple of input / help please, because for me ....... something is really wrong or at least totally unknown to me.

I am not quite sure what is special about this one.

Beomaster 5000 was available as types 2005, 2012 and 2013
"NR 5000" is the production name, "2012" is the type number, "serie 02" is the build series
"74723" is the serialnumber, the stamped "P3" refers to the type of veneer used
and the "godk" has the approval controllers signature.

The type 2012 may not be very common in Denmark, is that it ?
Or maybe it's because the serial number is quite high for a serie 02 ?

I think, you need to tell us more.

Could it be a record deck labelled as a Beogram 5000.

Doesnt make much sense but its my guess.

If its got you stumped then the rest of us will struggle!

In that case, it would be a record player labelled as a receiver.
Record players from that period of time has a GR rather than a NR, which was used
for receivers (and some Beocenters).
But of course, the label could sit on a wrong machine, I've seen that happen a couple of times before like
on this Beovox S40 that has a S45-2 label (note that the S45-2 cabinet backside is not composite and does
not have the hole at the top so the black label that looks a bit skewed is the correct one) :

That makes sense, maybe someone just stuck the wrong sticker on it by mistake or is it a real mystery item?

Thanks for all the suggestion, here is the next pictures....

 

This a version with cer. filters.
