Hello all meet my latest addition - a BG4000 with MMC20EN! 

Always wanted one and this popped up. One owner from new (who has departed this mortal coil!) and it was accompanied with a BC5000 (type 4705), both in fantastic cosmetic condition.

Collected it this morning and it was explained that although it was listed it as 'spairs or repairs' it does actually work! 😁

I couldn't resist the urge to plug it in straight away when i got home https://instagram.com/p/zpkeuIv6Or/

It's now sat on the shelf waiting for a jolly good strip down, clean and lubrication!

Welcome to the Club!

Thanks chartz! I've been going through the various BG4000 threads in anticipation and have read many of your posts. I'm not massively confident on the electronics side (the polar opposite of someone like Menahem I'd say!) so glad the deck seems to do what it should when you push the on button - I'm aware of the complexity under the bonnet!

I've already had a word with Dillen/Martin about replacement belts but he's all out of the platter belts at the moment.

I'm just going to have to be patient until I can get it hooked up to my Beolab/Master 5000 for a listen!

And you won't be disappointed, take my word for it!

BUT I do use a Soundsmith cartridge to brighten things up a bit!

Good work Ricardo 🤒

Looks brilliant, and I am sure it sounds even better!

My uncle just visited me the other day - and he had the trunk of his car filled with some nice vintage B&O he wanted to give me 🤒

So here it is: A Beomaster 700, Beomaster 1700, Beogram 1202, Beocord 1800 and Beocord 1200

However - as some of you might know, I already have quite a few B&O items - so I think I'm only gonna keep the BM1700 and the Beogram.
I have already found a buyer for the BM 700.

And then I just bought me a Beovision 6 - 22. It was so cheap that I just couldn't say no... 🙂
It costed only 1000 DKKr (roughly £ 110 or  € 145 ) -with motorized stand.

Not that i needed another TV - but... You know - this Beovirus...😕   Well - I can use it in my kitchen...

But - as I have read here on Beoworld - the picture is not the best on this model, as it is one of the early Samsung LCD panels.
I must agree. So - now I think I'll go looking for a Beocenter 6 - 23. 🤔
