In that era, most stereo (!) gear was placed (hidden) in low horizontal cabinets with sliding doors, usually with one or more cab devoted to LPs....your vertical stack (very pretty too) is the only thing that looks a bit out of place
Big sliders/ windows like that are hard to cover/insulate well in winter. I have a huge (16'w) insulated roll up power blind on mine, and haven't ever been able to figure out who made it. Works well, though, and the interior 'scrim' layer adds a bit of sound absorption.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I've been trying to find something I like for the equipment/LP rack. I was leaning toward wall mounting the turntable and sitting an Eames Storage Unit underneath, but I feel I'm at my limit for Eames pieces. For floor protection I've glued gliders onto the base of the the chairs--the gilders are the nail in kind with a round cylindrical "nail" that works well to hold them in place. The downside is I can't access the screws that hold the nylon feet in place, but there's always a Dremel if I need to replace the glides at some point. As for the large windows, yes, it's a pain in the winter. There were shutters on them when I moved in, but they swung out too far into the room when open for my tastes, also making the room less functional.
That's crazy that there were no takers for your dad's Knoll. I imagine that must have been some time ago.
