It's P/P 6BQ5 Stereo + Mono FM w/ variable reverb Stunning French Provincial cabinet. Have replaced all wax paper caps so she runs well |

Here are two I just picked up. The first one is a '68 Magnavox Astro-Sonic that an elderly couple at my church gave me because they are wanting to move to an assisted living center. The next one is a GE from around '46-'47 that has the early version of their VR magnetic cartridge in it.

Probably the nicest console I own, a 1960 Motorola.

I like these historic pieces that recapture an era
The BIG Motorola's offered serious sound for an aspiring affluent mid century middle class. Inspires me to get my Motorola running (one advantage is they use ceramic Caps, so no paper caps to change) |

Found a Sylvania Console at GW
Model SC374K from 1971. This seems to be the only appropriate location to post. Price tag says $25.
I know its not a tube set but it is very clean looking early American cabinet, stamped on back " cabinet made in Canada" and has a Garrard turntable and slider vol-bass-treble controls. I was going by the Goodwill near home the other day and it was calling to me "help- here I am, old and lonely - nobody likes me here among the BPC" I will post pics, visiting it for 2nd time on way home. Sylvania anything is rarely found here and IMAO, unfairly underrated, with GE getting way too much credit and sales. Should I rescue it?

Quote:
The other common style would be a magnetic cutter head. It works just the same, and unless the coil is open should be a candidate to repair. Both types would have rubber suspension parts that would be deteriorated and hardened and would need to be replaced. The armature that holds the cutter needle would be cradled in a rubber sleeve of some sort. Most of these cutters designed for consumer recorders were designed to be driven by relatively low-power amplifiers, in general the same amplifier that provides the play-back audio. Replacement cutter heads were still offered in Allied and Lafayette catalogs as late as 1965, but these may have been remaining stock. |

How cheap could it be! Look at the size of that power transformer!
It's better than some of the Zeniths I've seen. |
