The synchronous motors used in the early-1970s Beograms (BG1200, BG3000, BG1900, etc.) were quite unreliable, and haven't been available for well over a decade. Thus, their used value is very low . . . too bad, because it is a really cool-looking deck. I think Soundsmith does still have some replacement stylii for the SP10/SP12 cartridges, though.
