Hi Martin, I did put a question mark in the details of the video to suggest that this may be the largest, I am sorry for forgetting to add this in the Beoworld thread. Most of the large B&O collections that I have seen or heard about are around 100-300 items, so I haven't heard of anything approaching this one at around 1,000 items anywhere else. I know that some people keep their collections quiet, but I haven't heard of anything near to this size. Do you know of any others bigger than this one? Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Martin, I beg you to ask the owner(s) to share details of their collection please, as so many B&O fans would love to hear about them... Kind regards, Steve.

Steve, I cannot ask people to do this. It can be a sensitive matter and some people would not like to publicise anything. If they read this they can make the decision whether to share details or not themselves, but unfortunately, I'm under the impression that many of them are no longer active on Beoworld - and some never were. But I can tell you that my own collection has been trimmed down considerably over the last ten to fifteen years or so, so at present it is down to apprx three and a half thousand products, including prototypes, pre-production products and territory specific products. My collection was never in the puclic view. Actually most of it has been packed down and put in storage a pair of decades ago so not even really visible to myself. My focus was always on audio products. I have no more TVs or phones as far as I remember. I have owned a few hundred televisions, VCRs etc, but had to focus and part with something. I have more than 50 different production versions of Beomaster 1000 (not counting different wood finishes), just to name one product. And my collection is not the largest I know of. By far. Martin

Thanks Martin, I fully understand. I hope that some of these collectors may read this thread and choose to share some information of their collections (this can be done anonymously if they wish) for the benefit of other B&O enthusiasts. One thing that has been very clear to me over the past week videoing the B&O items at Struer museum and in other collections has been that there is a great love and admiration among B&O fans for these vintage products and for the people who work to preserve them. It would be wonderful if collectors could please consider showing your collections and sharing your love for the brand. It is always exciting when rare or unique B&O items come to light after being unseen for  years, then the thousands of people who share our passion for B&O can also enjoy hearing about them. Kind regards, Steve.
