Are Bang and Olufsen turntables any good?

I inherited a Beogram RX2 some years ago. It sat in storage for years. About 2 years ago, when I set up a second system, I got it out and tried it. It sounded horrible! I discovered that the stylus was gone. Epoxy probably degraded. As I recall it is a MMC4. I found out that the only place to get a replacement was Soundsmith and it would cost me over $200. The Beogram went back into storage.

Things have changes a lot since then. My second system has become my best and includes an Oracle Alexandria which makes me very happy. Except for casual listening, when I don't want to be forced to get to it before the stylus hits the label. So I've been looking for a used Dual 1229 or something like that as a second table. Then I remembered the RX2.!

So I am researching the sound quality of the the RX2/MMC4 or 3 combo. Is the table worth an investment of $200 to $300, or would it be better to get a used DD or Idler wheel  (for a different flavor) for the same cost? Please don't say 'trust your ears', because my ears can't offer an opinion until the money is spent. Think more like 'what would I do.'

Looking for help to fix my B&O 1800 --
I bought the 1800 in 1983 and have used it occasionally ever since.  Recently, when I went to play a record, the arm did not properly track. I adjusted the counterweight, but saw no improvement. So with the turntable off, I stupidly moved the arm from the record edge to the spindle. When I turned the turntable on again, now the arm starts half way to the spindle and then swings to the spindle and past the spindle. Stupid move by me.

Is there a way that I can reposition the arm to its proper position?
Thanking you in advance -- Chuck

Chuck - It may best to give Sound-Smith a call and discuss. I know they service B&O and maybe they could offer a quick and simple solution.  Good Luck! Dave

Beograms can be modified to accept 1/2 " mount cartridge. There is a company that modifies Beogram tonearm. 

Regarding the "missing stylus"...... That person's stylus wasn't there because they likely used a typical "stylus cleaning solution".....
B&O stylus cannot be cleaned with fluids as they will destroy the bond of the diamond to the cantilever.The ONLY thing that should be used to clean a B&O stylus is BluTac or an equivalent.... Or even those onzow clear spheres of goo......
The supplied cleaning brush is also acceptable, just don't use solution....
I have rebuilt many 4002s and have seen several original carts missing the stylus....because of the cleaning fluid most users think is okay...
