I have just found a "Beomaster AM indoor arial". It looks like new with original description sticker on the plastic bag with a one-page manual; it may never even have left the plastic bag before I took it out to take photos of it.

It's from the mid 1980's and will fit any Beomaster from ca. 1970 onward (of course only the AM compatible models), the plug is a DIN-style AM antenna plug.

 

 

 

I don't expect much - £5 + shipping.

Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.

They work very well in my experience - just as good as the Active AM aerial!!

Practically just a plug with a couple of meters lead.
But, as Peter says, it works fine. And of course, being the real deal with the original ziplock bag and document,
A MUST for any serious B&O collector.

You can modify and improve it further by replacing the lead with a longer piece.
Not a bad price either, even for the plug alone Surprise.

Very reasonable price indeed Soren but a collectors item, hmmm?

I thought that somebody else might need/want it as I don't even own an AM compatible Beomaster anymore.

You could call it a "collectible" as there aren't exactly plenty of them left Laughing

Any serious B&O collector will of course have one in his collection along with the other AM antennas, AA10, FA1 etc.
Being able to lay hands on one in the original packing makes it even better.  Laughing
I already have one, actually both the above and an older version with the B&O logo on the label - else I
would gladly have rushed to get this one.

Come on, it's just an ordinary transparent plastic bag with a sticker on it! Huh?

But it has been handled by the finest Danish craftsmen! Just look at the workmanship of that bag Laughing

In my storage so have to look for it but "unfortanetely" without the famous "bag".

Can you recognize the versions just by looking at the connector? I think I got one (connector) from you a while ago as a gift didn't I? Will take a picture tomorrow of the one I have here...

No, the contents are pretty much the same. Note the two versions above, even the type of lead is the same despite
them likely being produced more than 10 years apart. That's called quality consistence.
The antenna plug, I sent to you back in late february, I believe, was an FM 300 Ohms.
That'll be a grey one with a center tap rather than a black without the tap if my fading memory serves.
