Bang Olufsen - The Struer Museum Historic B&O Collection - Your own private video tour! [4K] 

Steve from Sounds Heavenly guides you through a private tour of the B&O historic collection in the Struer Museum outside normal opening hours. You can enjoy having the entire museum to yourself, courtesy of Jette Nygaard at B&O who kindly arranged this visit.

I am 70 and have been a B&O geek since I was 17 when I bought my first B&O sound system : 1900 Beocenter in matching rosewood cabinet. I will make a pilgrimage too B&O's Museum for sure! ROB

I was one of the first to unpack the Beogram 4002 when it came out in 1973 when I worked at Bjørns Radio, Vesterbro, Copenhagen. Heavy it was.

Brilliant video Steve and Jette

Stunning video. Beocenter 3500 is my fav. Classic era.

Thanks to Jette and Steve for showing the B&O museum in Struer. I’ll pass by the museum, when I’m close to Struer (living in Copenhagen area). It would be amazing to see it with my own eyes - this is different from RU-vid (but I enjoy your RU-vid videos, Steve, your passion of B&O - the design, the engineering and the quality - and you just see the different models of B&O product and you nearly mention every model with a few exceptions - I’m impressed. 👍 That’s passion 👍). I’ve recently bought Beomaster 7000 + Beogram CD 7000 designed by Jacob Jensen, just like he designed many other B&O products. It is just beautiful products / designs. Many years ago I had the Beomaster 6000, Beogram 8000 and Beocord 9000 together with Beogram CD 50 with remote control (rare as I’ve learned recently). I believe I still have the pickup MMC 1, never used as it didn’t fit the Beogram 8000, but only Beogram 8002. I thought it fitted the Beogram 8000 - my mistake / just wanted the best for my Beogram. 🤣 BR Peter

Oh my goodness, watching this video was like me walking through my old house in the 1980's. I was B & O mad, still am! I still have a gold banana phone and BEO9000 and other pieces designed by Jacob Jensen. Wish they'd bring back an updated CD player. Thank you for this video, it makes me very happy to see all these B & O pieces...x

Super !!! Thank you Steve and Jette 👍

I have visited struer museum many times it is a wonderful museum for b&o fans. nice video

I recently go there, Jette Is so kind

Thank you for this showing us this amazing showroom !

Thank you Steve and Jette

I love it.

The Beocord is a v2000 it could play and record on both sides of the video cassettes like a audio cassette it was a phillps system in a nice B&O shell I had one it was my first B&O which my parents bought me when I was a kid (should have kept it 🥺)

Thanks Steve and Jette. So much good stuff here. I love the Hyperbo 5 RG. Good to see the Eliminator too. The Eliminator, as its name suggests, eliminated the need for batteries, so the radio could be directly connected to the mains. So much good stuff here and it was a pleasure and honor to have shared the experience with you and Jette here in 2012.

Steve hvala na ovakvim snimkama nama koji nismo u mogucnosti posjetiti muzej,ovo je raj za oči

I am speechless : thanks so much Steve for sharing 🙏

Congratulations, Steve - that was an excellent tour - beautifully curated museum❤️👍👍

Enjoyed watching this video on my prized b&o TV, which I couldn’t see in the video. See a few Avants, a Beovision 1 but no Beovision 3.

Super !!!

Thank you for this journey 👍🎉

Omg Steve i would have the same feeling like you said, like a child in a candy store 🤩🤩🤩

Amazing products.

Just great 👍👍👍

2:50 Bang&Olufsen Beocord 6000 (5000) reel to reel tape recorder designed by Jakob Jensen in 1969 as part of the future Beosystem 6000 (initially Topline System).

Thank you Jette and Steve for the tour. :) 16:29 The "eliminators" was a product you could buy to elimininate the anode batteries (90V I think) batteries that were used in radios back then. The goal was to save costs of replacing batteries. The eliminator is a transformer with rectification and smoothing of some sort. Of course the battery manufacturers did not like this. You walked by an advert depicting an electric chair - that was the battery manufacturer "Hellesen's" word of warning against plugging your radio to the mains power, which probably had some validity as the eliminator might not have been an isolation transformer type. Eventually, more modern radio sets arrived with transformers or with series-strung valves designed for mains operation and anode batteries was a thing of the past. Maybe someone can shed some light onto what is actually inside B&O's Eliminator - I'm very curious to know.

talking with my wife i need to go here.... people never talk about there remote controls they are the best ones

2:12 That is not a VHS it is a V8800 (Video 2000) lightyear's better than VHS ever was :D

6:01 Beovox S60 or S75 4 way speakers with Seas woofer, Philips mid ranges, Peerless tweeter. I've got the S60s still rocking today

Fantastic museum, also good to see other classic Danish designs from Dansk Design and the Kay Bojeson monkey.

2:12 It's a BeoCord V8800. A rebranded Philips Video 2000 system.

A great show

BTW BTW... 2:12, it's not a VHS, it's a Video2000.... Another mistake by B&O... Chosing formats :)

13:29 is the Hyperbo 5 RG Steel inspired by Peter Bangs desk chair :D

1.01, I see avant 32 dvd, avant 28 vhs, beosound overture, 1.27 later beosound with it's matching beolab 2500s . I had a beocentre 7700 with the master control panel, such an awesome piece of kit. Surprising not to see any redline speakers in the useum.

Most of these pieces were in a Time Tunnel in the Farm. The museum is fantastic with lots of rare pieces. The Beocord 5000 open reel is a mock up that was never released unfortunately - the Beogram next to the Beomaster 6000 should either be the Beogram 6000 or is a 4002 fitted with the CD4 decoder. The Beogram behind the 2400 is a 4000 which is strange as these are unlikely to be sold together and a 2400-2 and a 4004 would have been the sensible choice as it was the first iteration of the Beolink type system, albeit in proto form. It amuses me that I have owned almost all the pre 90s equipment in the top floor - did you visit Frede at Veno whilst you were in Struer?

0:48... Beolab 3. Trust they are using your innovative trigger cable !!!

13:14 Hyberbo 5 RG inspired by the design of a Marcel Breuer desk chair.

2,14 is not VHS, is video 2000 V8800 player.

As an audio repair tech with 45 years experience, I would like to say that B&O translates to "damn near impossible to repair."

6:13...That's us. Any help with an owner's manual, got lost in a recent move?

Didn't see a Beosound 9000 or beolab 9's ?

Where is beocenter 2, beolab 4000, beovision 10 ?

You simpply move to fast and change the direction to make us able to write both the product and time, but I got into the video approx 1:25, and got this listed so far... Kind of showing how fast you are going... BeoLit 20 BeoPlay V1 BeoSound 8 BeoVision 9 BeoLab 5 BeoVision 5 Beolab 5 BeoLab 2 BeoLab 1 BeoVision Avant BeoVision Avant BeoVision LX6000 BeoCord VX7000 Beovision 4 BeoLab 7.2 BeoLink 7000 BeoLab 6000 BeoVision AV9000 BeoLab 6000 BeoSuound Overture BeoVision 4 BeoLab 7.2 BeoVision AV5 Have had, or still have some, also duplicates of several, of these nice products... But... Anyone, please complete the list... Greetings from Denmark!!!

the sad thing is: golden design & golden tech will like chimney sweepers come to dust
