Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1200 (5214) (mangler stift og trenger litt kjærlighet)

Beogram 1200 med behov for litt kjærlighet. Den mangler stift så jeg får ikke testa om motoren går i riktig fart, treverket trenger å bli olja litt vil jeg anta (det er også borra et lite hull i treverket av en eller annen grunn kanskje for å feste den eller no?) og det er noen få merker i selve metallplata ( et tydlig hakk og noen få riper som vist på bilde). Når det er sakt vil jeg si den har alt annet gående for seg, kun orginal deler, alt er komplett så langt jeg kan se, orginale ledninger (ingen din til phono mod), støvkoveret er helt og pent, og den gir meg i allefall følsen av at den skriker etter å bli pusset og polert at jeg snart gir etter. Dette er en av de få tingene Bang & Olufsen har lagd som jeg faktisk har likt utsende av.

Beogram 1200 - Types 5213, 5214, 5216, 5217 - was Bang & Olufsen's first 'designer' system. The design 'kinship' which emphasised the interdependence between B&O’s various products, became a characteristic of B&O for many years. Beosystem 1200 was one of the first products selected by the Museum of Modern Art for the museum’s permanent collection (not exhibition) in 1972. The system components were designed by Jacob Jensen.

In 1969 the Danish Society of Industrial Design awarded Bang & Olufsen and Jacob Jensen the ID prize for the Beomaster 1200 radio/amplifier, Beogram 1200 turntable and Beocord 1200 cassette recorder for unusually beautiful and user friendly design. The jury emphasised in particular the Beomaster 1200 receiver which pointed in a new direction for the design of radios.

In 1972 the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) chose seven Bang & Olufsen products designed by Jacob Jensen to be included in their Design Collection as representing excellent examples of the Museum's criteria for quality and historical importance; design, in fact, which had influenced the twentieth century. Beogram 1200 was one of those seven products.

The 1200 series represented the logical continuation of the line of development and design which put B&O at the forefront of manufacturers of entertainment electronics.

From an audio point of view, this was an advance in some ways - isolation from vibration was slightly better though still not up to the later decks. The peg support for the records was however not so clever as the excellent mat of the 1000 and 1800 offered far better cushioning. It did however look wonderful. Close inspection of the studs reveal that the inner studs are slightly shorter than the outer ones. They do remove for cleaning so do make sure you put them in the right places!!
