I think it looks great, don’t know anything about it though.

Looks like it’s designed for a one armed DJ :unamused:

They are not that hard to find, nor super expensive.
There are a number of people who refurbish them.

Or you could just have it re-tipped from £99 from one of the places that specialise in this.

Stop making excuses, man up and buy yourself one!

Hmm, I have been misinformationated…

B&O made some lovely decks, I might have to investigate.

I’ve just put one into service here, as I sold my 1210 recently. I don’t think it’s one of the particularly desirable ones, but it’s still a nice bit of design and sounds pretty reasonable.

60s,70s & 80s B&O design wise hasn’t really been beaten imo

I’ve just fired mine up, and actually it sounds bloody lovely. It’s a 2402. I have it running through a Sugden a21ap, via Lynwood Equaliser stage, into a pair of ESL57s, with a Quad L-Series sub. It’s actually the first time I’ve listened to the setup properly, as I sold a load of stuff recently, so I’ve been putting bits together. The B&O really does a nice job.
