At the time of its introduction, Beogram 1900 was right at the peak of the range of available record decks. Sporting the MMC 4000 cartridge with elliptical naked diamond stylus, this fully automatic ‘intelligent’ turntable was immensely popular at the time with its striking good looks, its sleek shape, and color-coordinated body. It was undoubtedly a record deck to own at the time!
It was also produced for the US market when again it gained popularity with serious music lovers.
