A quick demo of my B&O 8002 turntable. We'll listen to a few records and check out some of the features of this state-of-the-(1985)-art record player!!
c: The micro adjustment for the speed is there for musicians who wish to alter the pitch slightly to play along with a record-If the quartz lock speed control is working properly the listener who wants to "play the record as it lays" will never use that feature...
I'm still using the original cartridge and diamond stylus from the 80's - although it wasn't used for over 20 years. The suspension in the cartridge had to be replaced, but the needle was fine. The problem with these is that the needle isn't replaceable without changing the cartridge - and the cartridges aren't made anymore by B&O. So you either have to have them rebuilt, or spend several hundred on an aftermarket replacement cartridge.
Fantastic danish design and engineering there. I own one myself, but it recently started acting wierd, not turning the platter. Will look into as soon as I can find the time. It's rather complicated to disassemble unfortunately. Nice to see a happy working example! :)
Many, many records, but good second hand pick-ups are hard to find. They have been out of production for some time now. Only Soundsmith (US) still makes them. They are expensive but espacialy "The Voice" is worth the money. I've bought a few B&O recordplayers for the pick-ups. Although the original pick-ups can be retipt it's still a bit tricky to buy them, because of the rubber suspention can be worn out or dried out. So there you have the main downside bying B&O: You can't mod them.
I don't know how it sounds to start with, because when I got it hadn't been used in over 10 years - during which time the suspension deteriorated substantially. But when I got it, it sounded terrible. Some noise comes though, but it sounds horrible, staticy, and like you have a ground problem. That's the best way I can describe it. I imagine if it was in constant use, it would be a gradual thing.
I just got a tx Beogram, looks like your exactly, what is the purpose of the turn feature? You press it and the record turns ?? Can't see what the reason of that is for
Hello I have a Bang & Olufsen Beogram 8002 mint condition, rarely used and would like to sell it, does anyone have any idea what I can ask for it? Thank you.
Good selection of using an old, noisy scratchy record.
Thanks for the 8002 demonstration.

It doesn't find the individual tracks, just the start of the record.
I can't put links in here, but Google Amina Audio and you'll find them. Good luck!!!

I inherited a deck exactly like this one and I love it. But it is behaving strangely. It picks up in the middle of a record. And ideas?
Thanks for posting this! Do you have any experience with the Beogram 4000?
I have a B & O 6773, can anyone tell me anything on this model? It was given to me, also, what kind of needle does it have?
Do we connect on to MM in put or MC ?
It's not the first stereo LP.

Turkeydoodlers L. Tis feature is for cleaning you records
What are the symptoms of the cartridge needing its suspension replaced? Does it become completely unusable in some way, or just start sounding bad?
whats a moving magnet preamp? I just found one of these at Goodwill for $30.
Rhezoloution It’s just the type of preamp you’ll need. Lots of articles about it if you google it.
What about a 12 inch that runs at 45? How would this handle something like that?
Override.
