What to do with a B&O music center?

[Mr Pointy]

I bought this Beocenter 4600 for my parents years ago but it's no longer used & I don't even have any records now. I've tried ebay & Gumtree & a couple of other sites but no-one is interested as it doesn't have a CD player.



Does anyone know of a site/company that might be interested in it? At the moment the only option seems to be the local tip.

I think it's pretty much worthless. So hard as it may be.... the tip may be calling

Absolutely isn't worthless! Someone will definitely want it; I would keep advertising it, it's a classic design and a great way into the joys of vinyl for someone.

Why?

OP bubble wrap and store it.

I have a B&O CRT tv. It ain't going anywhere

Because it's already been in storage for years & I no longer have room to store it. How long do you plan to keep your CRT before turning it on again? When you do & find that all the caps have dried out & the tube's gassed what use will it be? You won't be able to get a new tube.

It's in my spare living room and I watched a film on it yesterday

I think it's cool!

Where are you pointy? I wouldn't mind giving getting it up and running a go - shame to tip it as I'm sure someone would find a useful home for it.

Nonsense. This stuff fetches big money these days, just got to find the buyer. Put it on ebay under vintage music centres. Put a start bid of £150 to generate a sense of value. Assuming it's fully working.

And even if it works it probably won't get a signal?

Yeah I'll let you know that day.
