I saw one not so long back go cheap on ebay almost bought it!! but didn't know why!!

Nice little pick up, Claret!

I've not had/heard one, but Paul Isolator got one a while back and really liked the sound out of her.
From memory it's no bass-king but the sound is super-clean!

Please review her up when she arrives.



Rock On.

Is this B&O box a made in Denmark or did they contract an Asian maker like other European brands .....Grundig , Philips, etc.?

The B & O is a minimilist design to the max.

i used one for 2 months when i worked in copenhagen, as the place i rented had one in the kitchen
it sounded clean, decent bass for the size, good dynamics when tuned into the local classical fm station... in fact, it reminded me of my sanyo m7790
the only downside was the cassette part... the recordings i made off radio play back dull on my own 'boxes, so maybe the deck was badly set up?

 

[ViennaSound]

Maybe not the best sound, but for sure a keeper!
Nice design.

Was it built in Denmark or Norway? B&O radios from the mid-60's were made by Tandberg out of Norway. Curious if this one might be too.

 

[Count Funkula]

Definately Denmark.

There were a couple of early 80's "Beocenters"... 2100, 2200 and 2002 produced in Japan. Other than that everything was manufactured and hand assembled in Struer, Denmark.

Actually that's a lie. Made in Japan! (I have one and that is what the sticker on the bottom of it says!)

 

[ClaretBadger]

You're right

I just dug mine out and gave it to the missus as her "office radio" - and MIJ is on the bottom

It sounds great


Just got a real easy to scratch fascia!
