Frede at Classic Audio and his team have done a wonderful job with this record player, and I'm very satisfied.

That's no record player.  That's art.  Congrats.

A record player in green and with wood

Rebuild to perfection as only Frede could

During my sleep it comes to my dreams

Give it to me I loudly screams

A Beogram 3000 all shiny and good

Thank you very much Søren, you are a real poet.

It is a real pleasure to restore wunderful products, and I am so lucky to be allowed to do this job for happy customers.

Here's a shot that does justice to the work Frede's done. I chose a red label as it feels like Christmas here!

 

Nice shot SP!

The Analogue Department thought the Beogram 3000 was worthy of inclusion in their gallery.

 

 

Apologies for the lack of updates here - I've been having a wonderful time getting to know my Beogram 3000 Thorens, and how best to set it up for excellent playback. 

I have switched speakers, from the Dynaudio Focus 140s to Gradient Helsinki 1.5 -- hypermodern meets timeless classics. And I have been spending quite a bit of money on vinyl - to feed the beast.

 

Indeed a really nice setup!

Seems to me that you don't need your Beogram 4000 anymore... ;-)

Best Regards

I'm probably going to sell my Beogram 4000 (and it's back-up Beogram 4000). But I'm wary of shipping these and will look for a buyer locally. 

Could keep it of course, but I feel that these units have to be used regularly, to be kept in shape - and I will be focusing on the Beogram 3000 for my vinyl playback, as I can use different tonearms with it.
