Beomaster 2000 - Amp/Receiver

I got one the other week in white not working unfortunately and the glue that holds the buttons on needs redoing but very cool looking in the flesh wider than I expected (Iknow I should have looked at the specs😁) I mean aestheticaly because of the black allong the back. Nice solid feel to the controls too.
I'll have a look at it at the weekend to see if it's something simple (wishfull thinking!)
Lovely amplifier - Direct coupled and lots of power and control. One of the best of this era and unfairly ignored. There was also the 3400 derivative which was quadrophonic but FM only. Have had both.

I must resist! But I can get one (black/rosewood) with a Beocord 1100.
Aw go you know you want to😈
Mine was black and teak. I think it cost me £30 from Tim. It is the one pictured on Beocentral. The Beocord 1100 is less remarkable! You want a 2200 to get a similar level of performance!
My B&O Icons:
One of my favourite Beomasters, beautiful and as Peter suggests, unfairly overlooked.
Two different amplifier builds were used through production, both
sounding wonderful despite their simplicity, still amazes me.
Hardly any standard faults on these machines.
Yes, the front panel knobs come off, that's very common, but can be glued right back on.
Replace capacitors and lamps and do the lamp and power supply modifications, kits are available.

You're not making it any easier to say no, Martin!
They do sometimes have a fault with the tuning scale as the plastic wheel that the cord goes around disintegrates! Not much of an excuse but the best I can come up with! 😂
My B&O Icons:
Wow! Problems with buttons and knobs! I have had my 2000 for over 20 years and the only thing that has gone wrong, (if that is the word), is the cat walked over it and had a heart attack when it wound up to max volume😂.
I just cannot bring myself to move it on. Looks good, (always gets admiring glances from friends), sounds good. What more do you need?
The B&O engineers have not spoken of mods, though. I do not know if they do them as part of the regular service.
