RECORD PLAYER / TURNTABLE. TYPE 5613 (I think). Unit weight 21lb 4oz. Unit size 3″ x 19.25″ wide x 14.5 deep. Yes, comes with the MMC2CL B&O stylus / cartridge. Looks to be in great shape and traveled attached to the tone arm. Also comes with the, now, somewhat rare, 8 pin din to stereo split RCA with grounding wire, cable. This means it can be jacked into any standard phono preamp or input on a receiver and it doesn’t need to be B&O. I’ll try to explain as best I can… This’ol beauty needs some TLC and time that I jut haven’t been able to find. Cosmetically, in pretty good condition. However, the silver plate that goes over the right side of the machine has unglued and made it’s disappearance during a move. The foam like glue (or whatever it is) has dried out. See specific pic of that. The glue tabs holding the silver plate surrounding the platter have also dried up, so that is loose. But, that came in handy when checking the machine. I own a recording studio and have fixed any number of turntables… Pretty much all belt drive though, and this is magnetic drive. The aluminum plate under the black plate that’s under the tone arm rest area, has also separated from glue loss, hence it’s being pictured outside of the unit. The platter DOES spin. Starts up, then stops because of tone-arm issue (see below). If I push the turn button, it does so indefinitely. I removed the platter to check on things – see associated pics. The tachodisc needs replacement, but when turning, seemed to be keeping consistent rpm. Tone Arm ISSUE – See video (up with pics). Starts off, makes it to about the platter edge, then stops… Eventually goes back to position. When I took the platter, etc. Off, it makes it down the worm screw but not sure as far as end groove on a record would be. Pushing stop sends it back to start. Sometimes, it stopped somewhere in between. The tracker arm does light up. Given the tone-arm issue, I wasn’t able to test sound quality. Had this question presented. Do the traverse buttons move the tonearm assembly? If you press PLAY, then try to move the arm using the traverse buttons, does anything happen? Spin starts, tonearm moves 1/2 inch but pushing the traverse seems ineffective. Of note, after attempting that, the “33” led and the light on the scanning arm both start to blink. They kept doing that until I unplugged it for about 30 seconds. A couple of times in the various attempts and sequence changes, there was a quiet buzz for a couple of seconds. I acquired this to fulfill my memories of wishing I had one of these systems when I was in my teens in the 80s. There’s something about the non-rackmount aspect and needing an obnoxious amount of table space that makes them appealing. The sound quality is important too, of course, and the classic look. I feel like it would be a straightforward fix to someone who knows these machines. I just don’t have the time or energy to fix it up and the family has fallen on some rough times, so I’m starting to list old gear and “projects, ” so check them out. I’ll also be listing my Beocord 8000 (also having issues – they’re just old) and my Beomaster 8000 at some point (still testing it and getting over the “let it go” aspect). This is heavy at 21+ lbs. It will be packaged carefully. I will be removing the platter and the loose faceplate, as mentioned, and will probably use a record shipper to put those in, separately, from the rest of the turntable. There’s likely to be a couple of pounds of boxing material. I do not have the original box or manuals. IF YOU ARE INTERNATIONAL, outside of the continental US, and are interested, please contact me. If you’re on base (APO/FPO/DPO – Navy brat here), in AK or HI, let me know and we’ll figure something out. Here is our usual spiel for our listings. I used to do a lot more in music, but the pandemic, and careers evaporating, brought the wife on board, so now we list tons of toys too. Please see pics as they are part of the description. Comes from a smoke free environment. Check out our other toy & miscellaneous listings. Looking for baby and toddler items? While we do not. First class can now take upwards of 7 – 10 days, although we have had consistent success with items arriving very quickly to buyers. It is not uncommon for first class items to not get scanned. As they put it – priority is always the priority. As my family works primarily with collectibles, the above may not be an issue as collectors collect when the collectible becomes available, and not so much because of specific holidays. Thank you for your understanding and patience. If you are trying to get items to you before a specific holiday or special event, whether first class or priority, please let us know and we can inform you of the current postal trends/statuses.

Beogram Rx2 bang & Olufsen record deck / turntable – great sounding deck. They have good isolation, are very minimalist and have far less to go wrong! Simple engineering and great performance / sound. I often used to go back to this from the tangential ones cause i think it actually sounded better. I also have the 2000 which it almost identical but Has repeat button to replay the record. Perspex has usually polishing marks. Was my deck until recently when i bought a Pro-ject Classic.

Excellent condition and fully working Bang & Olufsen Beogram 9500 record deck with a very valuable MMC2 stylus / cartridge. This is the most diserable Bang & Olufsen record deck. The Beogram 9500 is a design master piece it will make a big statement where ever you place it and who ever see’s it will be very impressed. The top panel has a beautiful mirror finish. They don’t make them like this any more. Rich warm clean sound as you would expect from Bang & Olufsen. It looks like it has hardly been used. When connected with the matching Beocenter 9500 and using a Beolink remote you can control all functions of this record deck from the Beolink remote control such as start, stop, move tonearm forwards / backwards/ standby etc. I will post a youtube demo video soon.

Here we have a very speacial record player the highly rated and rare vintage Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4002 from the 1970’s. It is a permanent collection in the museum of modern art as you can see from the photos it is very beautiful I have never seen a record player look this good. The craftmanship is of the highest quality the metal buttons feel very luxurious to press, it feels like a very high end item and like it belongs on a super yacht! It is fitted with a very valuable MMC 20EN ne. In the photo it has its needle cover on, if anyone wants close up photos of the needle message me. Instruction manual is included. It has an EU plug and a voltage selector underneath to choose voltage 110, 130, 220 or 240V. All lights are working the red B&O logo, the yellow light below tone arm, red standby light on left bottom corner and pitch control lights above keypad. I will post a video demonstration on youtube as soon as possible. The record player is fully working. Unfortunately one of the hinges is damaged as can be seen in photos but you still have the one on the other side. Also the start button is not working as intended. When you press start the tone arm slides to the record player all the way to the end and then off again it does not lower the needle at the start of the record. This is not really an issue because at the point on the record were you want to play as the tone arm slides you press the left or right button the needle will lower and play from that point. On the Beoworld forum I have been told the contacts need cleaning. It has been fitted with a new carriage belt. The platter belt has been checked and did not require replacing. If you are in UK I recommend you collect in person if possible. The item “Beogram 4002 MMC 20EN record player turntable Bang & Olufsen Vintage hi fi” is in sale since Thursday, April 26, 2018. This item is in the category “Sound & Vision\Home Audio & HiFi Separates\Record Players/Turntables”. The seller is “g7trader” and is located in Leicester. This item can be shipped worldwide.
