\"Beolit<\/a>Here’s a Beolit 600 – a famous B&O portable radio designed by Jacob Jensen. This radio was from a range of\u00a0 items selected by MOMA in New York in the seventies to showcase Scandanavian design. Jensen’s iconic slide rule theme, seen in several products from the Bang and Olufsen audio range such as the Beomaster 3000<\/a>, evoked a solidity complimented by interchangable plastic side panels. Sound quality was exceptional for a slim line portable radio made possible by a large oval loudspeaker.<\/p>\n

Although a very solid construction the radio does suffer from a few weak points that often show up. The speaker voice coil tends to seize up causing a weak tinny sound. Replacement speakers are difficult to find as they are an odd size and only 40cm deep. The three plastic pegs that retain the base plate and allow it to slide into place also break and are often replaced with pan head screws that tend to scratch the aluminium base. A cardboard battery tube was fitted to keep the 5 D-cells in place. These are often missing having damage from battery electrolyte leakage. Without the tube the batteries rattle and spring out all over the place when the cover is removed. Volume and tone control sliders are plastic covered in aluminium but the plastic is brittle and breaks so the sliders are often missing.<\/p>\n

Having side panels that could be changed easily allowed the radio to be colour co-ordinated and adapt to new interior fashions helping to prolong its useful life. Red was a popular colour along with white, purple, and green.<\/p>\n
