This is number 2 for me - us yanks are lucky that we have this wonderful deck that is only available to us. Helps make up for all the wonderful vintage kit over there we cant get over here.
Doesn't QUITE make up for it....
I have two as well, and found a third I sent up to Evan. The going rate seems to be only $50, with or without cartridge.
The 3404 is my new "economy" turntable. Too bad it was only sold in North America. It is basically a 2404 fitted with the the older MMC series cartridge. Great deck and better styled than my much beloved 1700's.
Then it's actually a 2402
The one with the latest MMC's was called 2404 in Europe.
I used to have a 2402, which I sold years ago, when I bought a BG 3300.
But I have recently acheived a 2404 very cheap 🤩
Nice turntable 🤒

I have had my BG 2404 for about 10 years, bought on the US bay, very nice deck, easy to repair good simple mechanics.

Nice! All working?

Yes, all working (ok, I tried only FM until now). Optically very nice teakwood with only few light marks, nothing special. And the magic blue eye ;-)
Fortunately there are still few guys around in DK who are willing to send their oldies around the world. Thx Ole!
Now I am missing the little brother of him, Mini 609/610 :-)
... and he found his place in my personal B&O hall of fame 🤒

You may well be right as far as manufacturing but B&O marketed the product a little differently for the US market
Behold the 2402 US version
A Beogram 1000 (5229) that lack the right screws that attach the chassis in the wooden frame, tone arm counterweight and a working pickup and falling general in decay but still not hopeless disrepair has found herself a home here.
The plastic cover is in decent condition, as well as visually wood (jacaranda | palisander | rosewood), and painted surfaces. It has the amplifier 8905302, i.e. the RIAA-amplifier mounted.
There are certainly several threads on the Forum concerning the renovation of the here. I'm going to look and read but the little turntable has pretty low priority right now. Maybe she becomes white to match a Beomaster 1001 which is also stated in the standby mode.
Hun er dejlig!

I don't think using chamois for the ABR's is a good idea. I think the chamois progressively will dry out and get as stiff as cardboard. I even think, that it's written on the container, that the chamois should be kept moist in it or a similar airtight container.

that is not true for me, as long as you use synthetic chammy leather cloth, it is perfect !
but you are right, do not use real leather chamois (yes it will eventually dry out and go brittle)
I used synthetic chamois - worked out quite alright, bass response is good and the membrane can easily move 😕
Hi Orava,
I'd be interested in the white ones as I have a missing one and a cracked one on my Beo610.
Cheers

The round knobs I mean!
PM, and we can see...
