Repost of a rare UK find in Canada
Something funny happend on the way to a television set!. I was on the way to a job site in Armstrong B.C. and to a antique shop that had a old admiral tv waiting for me. Falkland is a small town with a collectable boutique shop on the hyway for some reason i decided to stop and have a look and soon was ready to leave, uninspired by some unattractive tabletop radios. before making it to the door a bug eyed lady looking like Kathy Bates from the movie Missery stopped me and insisted that i buy a radio that was hidden in the office. I really was not intrested but she was persistant and yes it is a console with a lovely cabinet. My offer of $150.00 CAD. was excepted and i was on my way. Little did i know what i drove off with and was to be educated as i reserched this dynatron product.

Nice! I have a 1960s GE Console Record player stereo radio thing. The speakers from it are gone, so I'm thinking of just connecting some new ones. It uses those RCA Left-Right Connectors

My 1937 Zenith 8S154 (my fav radio), 1939 Zenith 9S367, 1930 Philco 70 "Baby Grand" mini console, and a rare 1937 Wilcox-Gay A-19. All work very nicely.

I have a Zenith 7S363, 11S474 (broken), Philco 37-665B, 116B-2 (in shop), and Zenith K731. Don't ask about my cassette decks!

Found this in fb market place last Saturday. Been looking for a Zenith x960 forever. Too bad this forum requires one to post their pics somewhere else....anyway everything works after some "fiddling". Caps replacement next after re-finish the walnut veneer, with oil. - Doug

Wow there's a lot of very nice consoles still around and what really stands out is the stewardship, all of you really have your heart in them.
At present I have a 1948 Philco (48-1264) "modern" FM band upright with the flip down 78 turntable, a mid 30's United Motors Delco R-1160 that followed me home and a 1970 Astro Sonic combo that is on the audiokarma sister site (https://audiokarma.org/forums/index....#post-14905102) that has been in the family since new. I have an opportunity to get a Zenith upright (463) but I'm out of room! It's a "working" upright that needs a full restoration but being complete and free to haul I'm making arrangements. Keep up the great work and preserve the real American history. |
Does the external loduspeakers of the "MagnaVox" AstroSonic camed with the console or they are bought separately?
@ Red Raster : that one of a kind console to have in a house (even in an apartament). But for what country it was made since it was made for 50 Cycles (Hertz), not 60? British made? |
