Vintage Bang & Olufsen Beogram 3404 // Turntable / Professionally Serviced

This Bang & Olufsen BeoGram 3404 is a survivor, with original parts intact. The Bang & Olufsen MMC cartridge works in flawless harmony with the low-mass, automatic tonearm, and the unique self-correcting electronic servo-drive is so precise that the need for a conventional strobe device is eliminated. The right rear hinge to the dustcover is cracked, but the turntable is operationally sound.

Liner Notes

Meet the Beogram 3404, an intelligent, thoughtful and very well spoken turntable. Like all Bang & Olufsen turntables, the 3404 effectively combines superior sound reproduction with simplified - not complicated - operation. That's the real beauty of the 3404. that's why the controls are outside of the dust cover where they're easily accessible. And that's why just a light touch of the Start button does everything. It determines if a record is on the platter, and if so, quickly sets the correct speed and lowers the stylus to the record. Slam. Pound the shelf next to the 3404. Not a skip, not a jump; thanks to the rock-steady patented suspension system. Audible acoustic feedback disappears as a result. A low inertia tonearm with a knife-edge bearing system eliminates audible distortion.
