Just made an inventory, I have 30 main B&O items, 8 Beomasters, 1 Beosound, 6 Beograms, 3 BG CD50, 2 Beocords, 1 Beocord Reel to Reel, 7 Beovox pairs, 2 Beolab pairs, 1 Trumpet stand pair. All bought from 2010 until now, in Mcallen I have BM/BL 5000 waiting.

Total buying price incl. shipping around USD 4,500.00. Beosound and BL 4000 not counted I bought them new in 2002

We just have to get that virus legalized then our sick insurance should pay.

Søren, it sounds like you are now about where I was at the age of eleven. 😂
That was when it really took off for me.
If you follow the same route, it's also apprx. now you realize that you need to complete the collection.
Only I didn't quite know what it meant... 😉

Well, if the mental institution in Struer has B&O nut cases, retired B&O boffins and their gear, then yes please.

I am on similar figures to you Søren! For me the biggest issue is space and storage, especially with Reel players which weigh so much and take up a lot of room. 

It won't stop though I'm sure!

I think I'm just starting the fourth page of A4 with my list!  I haven't updated it for a long time and really need to start again and do it properly - not least for the insurance!

Posted this on another thread a week but I'm currently in the process of moving house so had to come back to my parents house to pack up my things. Couldn't resist taking a photo of the result.

Basically søren, don't worry. There are many of us out there!
