At £63, this is a strong deal: it sits well below the £101 25th-percentile mark and less than half the £143 median from eight recent comparable listings. Even allowing for its unknown condition, the asking price leaves useful room for a little servicing.
The Beomaster 2400 is a particularly appealing vintage receiver, with a low-slung Scandinavian design, responsive touch controls, a capable FM tuner, and roughly 25–30 watts per channel. Its main drawback is the period DIN connectivity, so check that your source and speakers can be connected sensibly. Before buying, confirm that the touch panel, tuner, stereo reception, display, amplifier channels, and hinged control flap all work; at £63, a functioning example would be an excellent buy.

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.
