Bang & Olufsen Beogram 1200
Vintage & classic turntables · 1969–1973 Discontinued
$150–$350 typical US used price
A Jacob Jensen-designed turntable that won design awards for its flat, minimalist aluminium styling and helped define B&O's modern identity. Uses B&O's own SP-series cartridges.
A milestone of Danish industrial design — it lives in MoMA's collection as well as living rooms.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history, especially the belt, bearing and stylus.
