Very nice score! You have the makings of a great system.
I see what looks like a RekoKut 12H?
What drivers are in the cabinets?
 
i dont know and will not know untill tomorrow. i had jugle getting this with g/f wanting attention. i have to figure out how to get to them, tried sliding the grill off one but i think the wood has swelled. this will keep me busy a while...
 
dude... you are kidding us right? you didn't find that all in one box did you? you scroed big time. please follow the instructions for tube equipment resurrection and keep us posted. you found a dog-boned treaure chest. you can retire now.
 
yeah this deal was a whopper and it all came in one box. actually i posted wanted to buy add on c/l and this was sellers fathers equipment in basement collecting dust. she had no idea what it was or what to ask for it. when i saw what was in there i about shat myself, ended up paying her double her asking and happy to do so. the tuna is also mac, the preamp is a fisher 400c. i gave reasonable money for it, did not steal it but feel i made out very good on the deal.
 
Boy find of a lifetime, something I wish I could stumble across. Its like find that menu from the titanic behind that crappie oil painting, or a picasso at the goodwill. Very very great score!!!!!!
 
ok,
i am adding a few pics of this console. as it turns out the origanal owner was a founder of a mid to mid-large sized engineering company in this area. i am also engineer working in a related field such as he did. i have attached pic of the cab as i bought it. i guess after getting over the shock of what it took to move it i have more of an appreciation towards the efforts he put into it.

the hinges, latches and pulls are super cool and will never be found in the racks of chinese built b.s. that seems to be our steady diet at home depot, lowes or most any other hardware store that graces our presence in this day and age. i guess what impresses me more than the components are the 2 rek-o-kut slider units installed in the cab. kind of makes me wonder if there is a 2nd table ?? anyhow the more i look the more i like. the speakers do not have any gold in them, sort of run of the mill higher end aristocrates but they do sound sweet...

btw, the tt does have a little corrosion on the arm, otherwise i am not able to find a ding or scratch on it. it is a b-12 and a cream-puff...
