Bang & Olufsen - B&O Beogram 5500 // Vintage / Automatic Turntable / MMC5 Cartridge

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection

The Beogram 5500 is classic 1980s Bang & Olufsen cool: a minimalist, stainless-steel platter floating under a tinted dustcover. It doesn’t blare its tech—it whispers it, until you press play and that tangential tonearm slides into action, perfectly aligned mile‑after‑mile across the grooves.
