Beogram 1902 was a newly developed (1979/80) fully automatic, hi-fi stereo record player with Electronic Servo Drive (ESD) which meant that you never had to adjust speed. The Beogram 1902 did that automatically. It was resistant to variations in the mains current.
All functions were chosen via the single rectangular operating panel; Beogram 1902 did the rest. It was resistant to vibrations and shock because it rotatory mechanism and pickup arm had an efficient spring suspension. The pickup was so light that even warped records could be tracked. In fact, the arm was so light and the pickup’s diamond stylus so highly polished that it would not audibly damage your record even if the arm was thrown against the grooves.

Really nice Beogram 1902 from Bang and Olufsen. Cosmetically, it looks really nice with scratches on the dust cover. Technically, it is run through and new serviced. Coming with MMC 20 S
