No matter what era you go for, you'll always get a slightly futuristic feel from any Bang & Olufsen design throughout the years, including this Bang & Olufsen Beolit 707 radio.
This particular transistor radio was made in Denmark between 1976 – 1981, but you would never guess that. Ok, it's not got a digital display like a modern radio, but everything else, right down to those blue side panels, could be from the modern era.
But what you do get is that Bang & Olufsen quality, described as being in 'fully working condition' and 'with fantastic sound for a portable radio'. It's even been cleaned and serviced. All you need are the batteries and you're. Plus the cost of buying it – right now that's £15.96.
Fantastic! Wish it was mine – just love the design and the colour – will watch ebay eagerly in the lookout for one for me!
What a great radio!
One of the greatest tragedies in modern electronics is that B&O no longer produce a truly portable radio of such elegance and sound quality. If I remember correctly, the radio had a superb “front-end” i.e. that part of the circuit which plucks the music from the ether before it is amplified and put through the loudspeaker. Iwish there was a radio of this quality around today . . . .
