Was wondering if anyone knows of any Stereo Reviews on the Beogram 8002?   I did a google search and came up with zilch.   There are a few U tube video reviews but no Magazine reviews when it first came to market.

Thanks!  I found a copy of the magazine on Ebay.  On its way!

How did you know which issue it was in?

Just got those old magazines.  One has a 1983 review of the 8002 another I think 1985 review of the RX2 linear.  

Guess what the retail of the 8002 and mmc1 was back in 1983?

I think it came out to around $3,000 in todays US dollars.
