Collector-Grade Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1102 (Mint Condition One OWNER)Up for sale is an absolutely stunning, one-owner Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1102 Fully Automatic Turntable. Designed by the legendary Jacob Jensen, this Danish masterpiece blends minimalist mid-century design with outstandi...
This is a buyer’s market for a Beogram 1102 right now, and A$1,150 looks ambitious unless it’s exceptionally clean, fully serviced, and comes with a strong cartridge. Comparable used examples are usually sitting far lower, with untested or parts units around A$100–A$250 and even nicer working examples often well under A$600, so this listing needs a lot of substance to justify the ask.
That said, the 1102 is a properly charming B&O deck: fully automatic, beautifully built, and genuinely easy to live with when sorted. If this one has a healthy stylus, smooth automation, and clean cosmetics, it could be a lovely daily spinner. The big buyer upside is originality and service history, because on these old Beograms the cartridge, belt, and auto functions matter more than cosmetics alone.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
