Looking at the B&O's webpage about the BG4000c, there is a photo that caught my eye:
If you open the photo in full-size (a JPG with amuzingly name "Beograam_test.jpg") it's quite high-res.
The setup appears to be an older, proper workbench with a heavy load of B&O test gear.
There are at least four DC power supplies, a multimeter, a variac, a signal/noise meter, all by B&O themselves. Many of them have those red-label serial stickers on the front. The scope is a Techtronix, below that is what looks like a BM5000/5500/6500.
On the top there is a pair of BL4000 speakers, and a much later B&O TV. And at least one Beovox CX-something speaker on the right-end next to the scope. Just up the desk, there is a powerstrip (right) and some I/O, presumably a Powerlink socket (to the BL4000's perhaps) and perhaps a Masterlink socket, too. Also notice a Beo4 (with the range redurer) next to the Beocenter.
As this does not appear to be just a lab-mockup but a real thing, I must say I am impressed if B&O still have this sort of stuff around (and at least in some use)! It really looks an organic setup, originally dating to perhaps late 70's or early 80's (when the test gear was new), with pieces added during the 90's and 2000's (there is also a somewhat 00's-looking laptop on top of the scope, better visible in the video) and of course the newer TV and headphones.
Does anyone know if this somewhere within their factory? Or who is the man working in the lab?
All very nice. I can spot MM2, AM1, RT10, what seems to be a couple of SN17 or SN18, an SN16 or SN16A, a WM1 or WM2 and what I think is a TG7.I do miss a DM, though.
