    The Fisher philharmonic consoles

    I've got a near mint philharmonic console I'm afraid in in need of parting with. She works great, all components are functional. She's got her original the Fisher tubes still in her. Garrard AT60 turntable that works flawlessly. Speakers sound as they should. Really aren't many flaws in this...

    Magnavox Astrosonic

    I have a 65 Astrosonic 204-18-00, that I will be re-capping, I found this one linely piece soldered on the bottom of the tuner chasis. Is this a resistor, capacitor, or something else. I have a photo fact, it stops with 204-17-00, but it shows the piece. It kinda looks burned but it also looks...

    Scored a cool GE RC-1671 console w/ Garrard Autoslim TT. What now?

    I got this cool GE console w/ Garrard TT for $20 at an estate sale. It's nice and well-kept, and mostly in working order. Especially nice for playing 78s with the special stylus! Only problems are finicky speed selector and broken 45 changer spindle. I've replaced the latter. Wondering what you...

    Fisher e492

    I just picked up a Fisher e492-W. It’s my first Fisher and my first console (I have been a vintage Yamaha guy but wanted to try something “new”.) The receiver works (but I am going to have a tech look it over anyway.) My question is about the speakers. - Are the front grills removable? They...

    Need help, re: GE RC 4231 A stereo turntable speaker producing bad feedback. Suggestions?

    I have my grandpa's stereo that has great sound from the left-hand speaker (if you're looking at it from the front) but the right-hand speaker is almost nonexistent. So I decided to take the back off, take a look inside and see if there was anything I could tell to fix this. The two electronic...

    Motorola SK22DW Solid State Modular Stereo

    I found this unit advertised on CL this past Saturday for ten dollars. Seemed like a great idea to have something to tinker with on a bitter cold, snowy weekend. First at hand was to search for it online and found no images or information other than a 10+ year post on a antique radio site that...

    Studiomaster Mixdown Classic 8 Console Problem

    Hi! I've been working on a Studiomaster Mixdown Classic 8. I opened it up to make sure the levels were selected properly (i.e. balanced +4 dBu). In order to open the console, you have to take out the entire board, not by channel strip. In doing this, I accidentally pulled some multipins in the...

    HH Scott SP440 Pair

    A local acquaintance auditioned some SP440s for me recently. They actually sound quite good and are very solidly built. He'll part with them for next to nothing for the pair; they're large and taking up space he wants to use for something else and I have a couple of albums he wants. Notice...

    McIntosh L3M console cabinet

    I was hoping someone would be able to help identify if this is indeed an L3m cabinet. It had an mc2105 and mx112 in it and I didn’t even think that the cabinet could be one sold by McIntosh. Did these cabinets have any markings or branding anywhere to confirm what they were? thanks, Blake
