voice of music

Just dug out my first real tube amplifier from storage with the intent to sell it but when I hook it up I just don’t know if I can! It’s a voice of music 20008 (I know that’s not the real chassis number I’ll find it later) from a console that I just got because it had some cool speakers with...

This tiny amp looks to simple to confuse even me however....... The Mic input seems to be tied to the 4 Ohm speaker tap on the ring of a 1/4 inch tip, ring, sleeve type connector. It seems to me that if a tip, sleeve cord were plugged into this setup it would ground the 4 Ohm speaker tap. I...

Hello, Recently picked up a Zenith X940 Stereo Console. It's in great shape, all original and sounds great to me. Still need to clean up the finish (fill-in a few small dings, polish, etc). I posted images from when I purchased it. I will post new once clean-up is complete. I am now very...

Hello all, I am a proud owner of some 1989 Klipschorns. I have Fortes and used to have La Scala Industrial. I love the Forte, wasn't as enthusiastic about the La Scala but they were bone stock with original 1988 crossovers. Forte I recapped but haven't gotten around to changing to Crites...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone converted one of these into a guitar amp? How hard would it be for a beginner? Thanks!

Hey All, I picked up the VM 804 console a few years back from Audio Archaeology in Chicago (https://www.audioarchaeology.com/vintage-audio) as a gift for my wife. I fully expected that it wouldn't work and I'd have to do some work on it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it...

Bought a small Voice of Music console to convert. No known serial numbers or model numbers. Took the tube amp out. The phono automatically turns off the amp at the end of the record so i severed the connection and use the Tape input for my TT, works great. Here's the big BUT when I turn it on...

Just bought one of these online after reading a few good reviews, I'll post some pics when I restore it. I really need to locate a schematic so if anyone has one please link or pm me. If anyone has any info or insight on this amp let me know, they seem kind of rare.

My circa-1961 Westinghouse HM-1411 stereo console came with a standard Voice of Music 1200-series changer fitted with a Sonotone 8T cartridge. It played fine until a couple months ago and the right channel went out. I'm guessing the cartridge is on its way out. Is there a suitable Sonotone...

Finally completed the re-cap and clean up of my Voice of Music 1428 amp... which obviously led to the purchase of a 1416 Tuner (and the 1441 Stereo adapter). Speakers are a minty pair of Radio Shack Nova 8B's with the videolady201 crossover mod. The turntable is a BIC 980. This system sounds...

Hey guys, new to the forum and trying to gain some knowledge. I've been trying to do my research on the V-M Model 815. There is a good deal for on here in town and I'm considering jumping on it. I have never owned a ceramic cartridge record player and am a little weary to buy one. I have...

Hello all, TL;DR: VM 1201 - If I hold the overarm up even just 1/16" as a record drops, then the tonearm will automatically swing into position and play the dropped record. If I do nothing and leave the overarm to rest on the record when it drops, the tonearm picks up, sets back down, and...

A few months ago I picked up a 1962 Voice of Music 1448 integrated amplifier for $40 and today I got the matching 1465 tuner that goes with it, paid about $80 shipped. I had the KLH Model 17 before I got either paid about $20 for them. I have about as much in this setup as the tuner alone cost...

Greetings All. I am taking the plunge and going to try my hand at bringing this console back to life. Its a 1959 or so VM 580-2 per Gary at VM Enthusiasts. It's in wonderful original shape physically. Electrically I am sure it needs some TLC. That's where you guys come in hopefully. I...

Someone on CL in MA has these guys up for sale here for $65 (NOAF) From a thread posted on AK here They seem to be loaded with a jensen horn and woofer combination that would be solid for low-watt amplification.

In early December I bought a 1960 Motorola console on CL. I've replaced the stylus but I have not replaced the Sonotone 8t cartridge. Even with the new stylus the vocals and horns are often slightly distorted. I am not sure this would require a cart replacement but should should I replace the...

Hello All, New guy here, just got a V-M model 915 that appears to be in pretty good condition. I like old stuff, particularly well made stuff made in America and I'd like to get this thing going and then refinish the veneer. Console by Sam08861 posted Jan 16, 2016 at 9:27 PM Model Sticker by...

While I'm waiting for parts for my console project, I'm trying to get my Voice of Music 6V6 fired up. It has odd, to me, speaker terminals and I'm not sure how to hook things up. It didn't come with speakers or speaker cables. Here is a copy of the schematic. I'll upload some pics shortly...
