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. 

Sold AS-IS.

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.
