Oh man!  I am jealous.  I have been looking almost as long for one.

Once again, prices are very different depending on countries: when people gives away Beovision Avant in the UK, people can ask up to 500€ here in France. Or 1000€ for an Ouverture, etc, etc… And a lot of crazy prices I can't remember just right now!

Here in the USA I haven't even found one. I have found SC80's, SC60's, MC40's and Attyca's but no SC80.2's.

Picked up a Beogram 4000 yesterday including a MMC4000. Should light up when connected to the mains, but haven't tested it yet. The pickup looks fine looking at it with the naked eye, but time will tell. Read through Sonavors BG 400x projects thread yesterday - great info and I had a quick look at the cartridge tab and am happy to report that it looks to be flawless.

Added a little piece of foam under the arms while transporting it. Pickup was taped to the side of the foam, but I could probably just have let it sit mounted on the arm. I didn't inspect the tap until I got home though, so better to be safe.

Very nice piece Dennis, that one didnt see much use

The turntable looks excellent but the dust cover appears to be a replacement from a Beogram 4002/4004 model. The original Beogram 4000 dust cover has more of a bronze tint to it. The later Beogram turntables used the smoky tint you have here. The Beogram 4000 dust cover also has printing on the left and right sides of the aluminum trim piece. That shouldn't affect the appreciation of this turntable but it is just something to note.

Maybe I'm wrong but I believe that the bronze smoked covers go on wood finish devices and grey smoked covers go on white finish devices.
That was something I discovered and had to take care of when gathering my Beosystem 1200 (Beocord was wood so brown cover, Beogram was white so grey cover).
