Bang & Olufsen Beogram RX2
Vintage & classic turntables · 1985–1989 Discontinued
$200–$400 typical US used price
B&O's affordable 1980s radial-arm automatic, sharing the low-slung Jensen-era aesthetic and MMC cartridge mount. A common partner to Beomaster systems of the period.
The accessible vintage B&O — designer looks and one-touch operation at a modest price.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- Fully automatic: the arm cues itself and returns at the end of the side.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history, especially the belt, bearing and stylus.
