Hello to all,
I've just come across a never used, new-looking (yes, indeed) Beocord 2200.
I know this is supposed to be one of the best among the best—will it be better than my excellent Beocord 6000?
Anything I should know and look for before plugging the beast?
Thanks,
Jacques
It's a wonderful deck.
I doubt that it will be better than a Beocord 6000 but
it was definitely one of the best at its time and a good one will
produce very nice results indeed.
The lubrication in the AC motor can sometimes be a little "harsh" if it stood unused for many years
so you could see if the capstan starts spinning before leaving it powered for hours.
There's really not much else that can go wrong. So plug it in, power it up, check it out
and let us know what you think of it.

Thanks Martin, I will !
It's nice to know there will (always?) be someone as knowledgeable as yourself to talk about these products!
Jacques, simple mortal.
Did you see the Hi-Fi World article on the 2200 in this month's edition?

Oh yes, it's in my hands right now. Mr Jarman explains there's a mod to be done (caps and resistors) on the input preamp, but unfortunately he doesn't tell us more!
I told him that last night! Did you notice that this is a white 2200 - they never made one!

I am almost sure that I've seen a white one but it may have been a Beocord 1700.
Hmm.. I'm getting old...
But they made one with built-in power amplifier 👍

Just a quick note... My BC2200 is my most used deck! I love it! 😁
Hello
Just a little picture of a rare recorder - the one with the builtin power amp.
