I have put the word out to the head AV guy in our school district that I want to re-create a vintage stereo system for my new house. I don't have any particular preference for a specific brand, just want to get my hands on some decent vintage stuff that may need a little TLC so it's reasonably priced.
This guy has a lot of connections in this regards, so the opportunities are starting to come in. Yesterday it was a really nice Marantz 2230 and a Fisher 500C, both very nice units in good condition. Both a little out of my price range, but the sellers might be willing to haggle, so these are both in the running. Given the choice I would prefer the Fisher, as it's a tube chassis. I would expect to recap both and do an LED conversion on the Marantz to get rid of the lamps. Anyway, got a call today from a guy who has a B&O Beomaster 1900 that he simply doesn't want. Everything works, but he dug it out of a closet and just wants it gone. $20.00 Yes, you read that correctly. Twenty dollars. I'm going to pick it up from him today or tomorrow. Not really a vintage machine, but might make for a nice setup in one of the bedrooms. Will need to source some of the Euro speaker plugs and a DIN cable to connect stuff. Anyone here know anything about B&O, other than it's pricey?
