Compared with a typical used asking range centered around kr1,338, this sits a bit above the median but still inside the normal spread; at kr1,500, it’s a fair-to-slightly-ambitious ask rather than a bargain. It does not clear the 75th percentile, so I’d treat it as reasonable if the unit is complete and unmolested, but not as a must-snap-up deal.
That said, this is a very appealing vintage B&O piece: the Beomaster 1900 is admired for its clean industrial design, solid tuner section, and that classic Bang & Olufsen “easy to live with” feel. If it powers up properly and the controls, dial lamps, and tuner behave as they should, it’s a classy daily-driver candidate with real collector charm; at this price, the main upside is getting a handsome, well-regarded piece of 1970s hi-fi without overpaying.

Bang & Olufsen was founded on November 17, 1925, in Struer, Denmark, by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup, where the founders developed The Eliminator—a revolutionary device that allowed radios to operate from mains electricity rather than batteries. This innovation established B&O as a forward-thinking manufacturer and set the tone for nearly a century of technological advancement rooted in Danish design principles.
The brand is primarily known for premium audio and home entertainment systems, including high-fidelity receivers, radiograms, cassette recorders, and contemporary loudspeakers. B&O pioneered several category firsts: the world's first button-operated receiver in the 1930s and Europe's first cassette recorder, the Beocord-84U, in the 1950s. Today, the company manufactures integrated audio systems, wireless speakers, and headphones that blend acoustic engineering with sculptural industrial design.
Bang & Olufsen occupies the luxury segment of the audio market, positioned as a premium lifestyle brand rather than a specialist audiophile manufacturer. The company's reputation rests on its distinctive philosophy of merging form and function—treating audio equipment as crafted objects designed to enhance living spaces aesthetically. Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and maintained as a visionary enterprise for over a century, B&O appeals to discerning consumers who value Scandinavian design sensibility alongside sonic performance.
