New Wave Outpost Forum

Over the years I've collected a bit of excess stereo equipment, and I've decided that I need to clear a few things out so I thought I'd offer up a turntable here for someone who is in need of one. The turntable in question is a Bang & Olufsen TX2, which, besides being an interesting turntable from a design aspect, also happens to sound wonderful. Included will be a MMC 4 cartridge in virtually new condition as well as a MMC 2 cartridge which has been used, but which still has more than half it's usable life left.

In case you also need a pre-amp, I have a Hafler DH-101 that I can throw in as well.

There is no cost for either the turntable, cartridges, or the pre-amp. I just want to give it to somebody who will get good use out of it. There will be complete instructions on installation & set up as well as an explanation of how the B&O turntable works.

Please know that this isn't a junk turntable. I would rate it as a strong 9 out of 10, and it was completely serviced by the local B&O outlet a little over a year ago.


If you want to see what the turntable looks like:

No, it's not me...it just happens to be another guy with a TX2.


My only restrictions are:

1. You currently don't own a working turntable, and,

2. You have at least 100 posts on the Outpost

Other than that, the first one to e-mail gets the goods.

That is a really nice thing you're doing. No...I am not applying for the equipment. I have met the post qualification but I DO have a working turntable. I hope the person who requests this will put this to good use!

Thanks club80. Actually I have 2 of these, the other one will also go once I decide on a new turntable. Maybe I'll think up some sort of contest for that one.

You were careful who you gave it too, right? If we start seeing vinyl rips of AFTC around here, you're in the shithouse dude.

Not this one Phil...you'd need to connect it to a pre-amp, and then it could connect to a line level soundcard in your computer.

Fortunately, the timing of the offer caught Mr. Rockwood mid wave, and he was unsuccessful in dog paddling back to shore in time.

Wow, it looks like someone has a beautiful new turntable. Congrats! Very cool of you, Eight.

Wow what a fantastic offer, I'm too late as usual...

There is one more that will be offered up once I've decided on a new TT. I'll make it a bit more challenging than a simple first to ask scenario so more people can have a shot at it.

I was thinking more of an internet scavenger hunt.

It's a cinch edisonoside would win an arm wrestling contest, and I'm sure georgie has done his share of emergency running (mostly from the stage) to be a shoe in to win a foot race.
