Beomaster 3000-2 in original white could be considered rare.
Beogram 2000 probably less so, - but it's not exactly common in white.

White was by many considered "cheap looking" back then, and they were indeed generally cheaper than veneered versions.
From a collectors perspective, there seems to be a faint pattern, that products in the cheaper end of the model
range are considerably more common to see in white (think Beomaster 1001) , whereas white top-range models
are rare (think Beomaster 4000/4400).

Curiously, white versions of B&Os products were deliberately chosen for the permanent exhibition at the

Museum of Modern Art in New York, and there is a tendency for the white products to be more collectable, - perhaps
because they have a more "timeless" and classy appearance, - but it's not a general rule.

Personally I like them all. The classy white and the warmth and uniqueness of the real wood, palisander and teak in particular.

It would be interesting to see the serialnumber label of your Beomaster, if possible?

I have seen and owned BM3000 in white but they are not that common. 

Martin, was there a white BM4000 or BM4400? I have never seen either.

"Beomaster 3000-2 in original white could be considered rare".

Well, that's nice to know, as the one I'm attempting to repair is in white.

Simon

That one is white from factory.
Many were painted later.

Hi this is the serial number for my 3000-2.  Thanks Phil  

P3 suggests this was originally rosewood. Therefore either the lids have been changed or it has been painted white.

What is the finish like? The original white is a smooth lacquered type finish, quite distinct from a sprayed wood cabinet.

Ben

It's a very nice smooth white finish   The front is immaculate and the sliders are perfect.  Cheers
