Overview

Beogram 1203 was an automatic, high-fidelity stereo record-player with high specifications. It was beautifully-styled and extremely easy to operate. All you need to do was select the record size: 7″, 10″ or 12″ and press a button. The turntable automatically selected the correct speed: 33% or 45, and the pickup was lowered into the first groove.

At the end of the record, the arm automatically returned to its resting position and the turntable switched off. Beogram 1203 was fitted with its own pick-up cartridge, theย SP 14Aย which had a spherical diamond stylus and a stylus pressure of 2g. Its frequency range was 20,000 Hz. ยฑ3 dB. Distortion was lower than 1%, wow and flutter lower than ยฑ0.15 % and rumble better than 58dB. The turntable and pick-up arm had a pendulum suspension which made the record-player insensitive to vibrations. A transparent dust lid and a spindle adaptor for playing centreless records were supplied with Beogram 1203.

It was in fact rather simpler than its immediate predecessor, theย 1202ย , and was based on theย Beogram 2000ย rather than the top of the rangeย 3000.
