This Bang & Olufsen BeoGram 3404 is a survivor, with original parts intact. The Bang & Olufsen MMC cartridge works in flawless harmony with the low-mass, automatic tonearm, and the unique self-correcting electronic servo-drive is so precise that the need for a conventional strobe device is eliminated. The right rear hinge to the dustcover is cracked, but the turntable is operationally sound.

- Liner Notes
- Meet the Beogram 3404, an intelligent, thoughtful and very well spoken turntable. Like all Bang & Olufsen turntables, the 3404 effectively combines superior sound reproduction with simplified - not complicated - operation. That's the real beauty of the 3404. that's why the controls are outside of the dust cover where they're easily accessible. And that's why just a light touch of the Start button does everything. It determines if a record is on the platter, and if so, quickly sets the correct speed and lowers the stylus to the record. Slam. Pound the shelf next to the 3404. Not a skip, not a jump; thanks to the rock-steady patented suspension system. Audible acoustic feedback disappears as a result. A low inertia tonearm with a knife-edge bearing system eliminates audible distortion.
- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. This piece will ship double-boxed, and fully insulated, taking extra care to ensure there's no pressure against the face. Then the inner box is suspended inside a double-walled outer box using shock-resistant foam corners. We also take great care to protect the tonearm and stylus, and we will tighten any transport screws. You can be confident that your table will arrive snug as a bug in a rug.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $125, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
