Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1800 Turntable Type: 5813 80’s

It’s in great condition with some small surface scratches on the lid and little to no wear on the sides. Great product, pick this up today! Its carefully milled profile, with large metal surfaces set between slim bands of Nextell, ensured high electrical capacitance between the record and the metal, effectively earthing static charges without actual contact. It was driven by a flat rubber belt from a tacho-controlled DC motor. The belt's compliance acted as a mechanical filter, preventing motor vibrations from reaching the record and stylus. To complement this improved arm/cartridge combination Beogram 1800 had a new faster-acting movement control system with separate cam wheels for vertical and horizontal arm movement, so that automatic operation gave you music within a very few seconds. So cueing was really fast, but still careful of your records. For improved record safety, you could operate normal PLAY and STOP functions while the lid was closed. Just one touch - the rest was automatic. Record size and speed was identified by the Beogram's logic circuits. Beogram 1800's slim plinth had a brushed aluminium finish.
