Description

First introduced in 1969, the ultra-thin Beocord 1200 (and 1600) were sold right up until 1974.
They were no taller than a turntable and looked very elegant if placed on a wall or on the special B & O stand that was available.

The 1200 was a deck-only version while the 1600 had a built-in 10 watt/channel audio amplifier.
Unfortunately the “slim-line” design rendered the mechanics of this design rather wimpy, especially the brakes which didn’t do very well.  In addition, the separate playback head, a welcome feature of the successful Beocord 2000, had been omitted on this model.

Additional Info

Cabinets were available in Rosewood or teak
