The final version of the masterpiece created by designer Jacob Jensen for B&O. I am presenting it here just as it appeared in a 1973 B&O catalog (the photo shows the first model in this series, the Beogram 4000) and as it is exhibited at the MoMA in New York (featuring the Beogram 4002 since 1978, a model virtually identical to the 4004). Rosewood frame , MMC 20EN ( Elliptical naked diamond ) cartridge . It will be fully tested using a B&O hi-fi system. Private collection .
Note : The turntable has been completely serviced .
Some details on the restoration:
Reconditioned engine
New tracking motor pulley
full recap of mail PCB board
new calibration trimmers
new power capacitors
new relais
cleaning and calibration
new belts .
Important note: This turntable, like many other models in the Beogram series, requires maintenance that takes into account its actual condition and operational state. Given that these devices were manufactured around 50 years ago—and considering that necessary maintenance was often neglected and it is rarely possible to determine with certainty what prior work was done—each unit requires a thorough inspection. This specific model has undergone such an inspection by a highly skilled electronics technician with decades of experience working on these turntables. While parts sometimes need replacing, models from before 1980 (predating the era when plastic degradation became a widespread issue) often require only standard maintenance rather than the replacement of numerous components. In fact, replacing an original part can often cause problems and actually compromise the condition of these masterpieces.
