The One That got Away - B&O 1200 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

While browsing a B&O site I found one of these:

http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=320

I was given one around 18 years ago and it was excellent - the huge sliding scale was a joy to use...... But, died suddenly and after repair by a local electronics shop died again some months later. I am sad to report that I think I threw it away.

I'm guessing these things are now quite collectable? I still have the record deck: http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=269

...which if I remember correctly cost me £25 for a stylus 18 years ago!

Is the tuner replaceable? Do people sell them, I cannot check on ebay while at work..
