As long as we are looking at analog audio equipment we may as well investigate this thing.
What we are seeing here is a Bang & Olufsen 3000-2 receiver. Now, just to be clear, in the audio world the term “receiver” is generally accepted as meaning it is a radio tuner and amplifier all in one. Back in the early days all the components were sold separately.
I remember in the first half of the 1960s it was common to have a tuner, pre-amp, amplifier, and turntable as separate parts to a “hifi” system. They were often from separate manufacturers. Within a fairly short period of time the pre-amp and amps were combined, and that thing was called a “receiver”. My very first component system was a Scott tuner with a Fisher receiver. It looked great in the dark because of the tubes.
The Beomaster 3000-2 was first made in 1972, the same year that it was selected to be one of seven products designed by Bang & Olufsen to be included in MOMA’s collection. Designed by Jacob Jensen it is considered to be one of the most influential designs of the 20th Century.
Technically speaking, the 3000-2 is 40watts per channel with a range of something like 30-30,000hz. The distortion is supposed to be less that .5%.
That may sound like gibberish to some folks, so let me put it as simple as possible. When connected to studio-quality speakers the Beomaster 3000-2 is fabulously good.
