My own tribute to Bang & Olufsen..............

25 replies

Dear forum, - if too much out of content, - moderators feel free to delete as I don't have a problem as such!!...............Just have to pay Bang & Olufsen a proper tribute after having enjoyed their Beocenter 7000 for 33 years now.....................Now this unit was purchased in December 1979 and me being allmost 19 years old................Having looked at many music systems from various dealers back in Denmark I just could not resist this compact Beocenter 7000 even being sleek and slim aswell.........................Unfortunally not many agreed with me opting for this unit, - claiming that if one section became faulty the entire unit had to be sent in............................Yeah well they did had a point there but I knew that I was not all that in for cables and units in a long row so I went ahead and took the chance as they afterwards put it...........................Only, -  after 33 years of enjoyment the eletrical components still havent let me down so I'm still awaiting the cons of having chosen a all-in-one unit..................................This particular unit just won't give up no matter how abused.....................At parties the unit is soon given full throttle volume level 8-10 but it dosn't give a da*n about that allthough the guests might use it as a indoor grill for late night sausages judged by the heat the vent grill generates.............................................A good cd player you've got there one guest remarked stunned as I told him that it was infact an old built in taperecorder doing it's job.......................Untill this very day it stays completely factory soldered only and drive belts lasted untill 2 years ago...................Still got the original belt for the recordplayer though...............Once again my most profound thanks to Bang & Olufsen for doing a thorough job here.....!🤩 Hans...........

What's with all the ........ ? It's extremely hard to read :(

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

the classic systems have a very loyal following - and for good reason.

I sure liked mine and then I gave it away

 

 

The 7700 was probably the ultimate record playing music centre. Still very usable today - nice story - thank you.

The experience of the old school B&O is very special indeed. Once you get ower the service/renvovation point in many cases it is a lifetime of enjoyments.

The golden years of BnO

Thanks for leaving nice comments.- I don't know how rare the white ones were but ironic it was that mine had to be ordered via Germany as B&O could not supply my request.....So this unit came with German manuals!....Not that it was any bother to me though.......Anyway the unit could not stand alone so 2 white S-75's was ordered along with 2 white S-45-2 as   backup's.........🤒
