I've had two of these Motorola's of the same vintage. One was the basic 3 channel set up like yours and the other was 3 channel but also had reverb. These play great and if you have any discreet stereo recordings such as the Mama's and Papa's you'll see just how well these are with the stereo separation. They're not the most powerful consoles out there but when recapped and tweaked they definately get noticed and are ideal for playing the older recordings whether stereo or mono. Only drawback i had with mine was the FM had a little bit of drift because they didnt have an AFC circuit. If i came across another one of the same era i would buy it in a heartbeat. The newer ones werent as good perfomers as the one you have and that i had. The Sonotone cartridge with the J-style needle worked best in these so i would recommend finding another one for it instead of using the Varco cartridge. You will definately notice a big difference. Definately a good find!
