[QUOTE=anden;1845723]A trend I've noticed in recent years is that people are gutting the early 60's consoles and selling all the parts, chassis, speaker drivers. I guess folks can't handle a 6 foot long, 200 lb. unit so they're making their own tube audio systems...a good idea if you're skilled at cabinet making.QUOTE]
I see this alot on that dang high priced auction site otherwise known as ebay. The Magnavox amps seem to be the most popular. I saw a nice Magnavox tube console sit at a local thrift store for $50 for months, until the store went belly up. Had they listed the amp, speakers, and turntable in seperate epay auctions, there's no telling what it all would have sold for. I really hate having to destroy a nice console stereo in order to get any $ out of it; but, I'd be lucky to get $20 for the whole complete unit around here. If it doesn't play a CD and if it's not black or gray plastic, most people are not interested.
