    Pilot Tube Console Auction — Fort Collins CO

    This looks very nice. It is a 6BQ5 amp so I assume it is a Pilot 232 amp inside. Also it has the Tuner/ Preamplifier to make it sound beautiful. No affiliation. But I know how much love Pilot tube components get. It would be great for an AK member to snag this...

    Magnavox Belvedere value, and can needles still be found?

    I just inherited this Magnavox Belvedere from approximately 1951, woodwork in pretty fine condition. Are needles still available to purchase anywhere to use the phono? And any idea of the value? Photos are a scroll or two down on this post. We turned it on, but were not able to find any...

    Vintage BARZILAY Mid Century Stereo Consoles?

    Just brought home a vintage stereo console -identical- to the one pictured below. It’s still outside in the van but just as pretty looking as this. Pretty sure it was made by Barzilay in the mid ‘60s. Anyone know what this model was called? Anyone here have the same unit? Was told by the...

    Just inherited Magnavox Belvedere

    Hi, I just inherited this beast, it's got tubes in the back and dust from when the tubes were new too. Turntable and radio, with a note on the back that the console fits a 20" tube tv. The label on the front says Magnavox Belvedere, but I'm not finding any serial number on the unit. Any idea of...

    Magnavox Model # 2P3463 End Table Stereo Console

    Hello, I just picked up the captioned record player/radio for $50. I plan on restoring it. Radio works great, speakers do as well. So, I only need to get the turntable operational. When I go to Turntable Needles, they don't have the model # listed, so I will pull the cartridge to get the...

    To console pull or not to console pull...capitol records model 936

    I’m conflicted. On the one hand this console is unique in that the speakers tuck away inside the console when not in use, the Garrard rc88/4 is in good shape, just needs a little work, and the amp sounds amazing. On the other hand the wood isn’t in the best shape, it’s huge and heavy, can’t fit...

    1959 Motorola Console, Gauge Wire?

    Question for all you vintage tube enthusiasts out there. I have an old 1959 Motorola Console, Model SK32W, with 180 Watts amp. The wires inside are frail and old. I feel they may be contributing to a degradation in quality. I don’t know what gauge they are but they are super thin, so like...

    So I have a 1964 magnivox stereophonic that I restored recently and has been playing great. Currently it is not sending much to the left side speakers and when I turn the balance knob it is tight and doesn’t seem to do anything. Can I replace the tone knob board with a newer one? If so any help...

    Magnavox 6V6 Stereo Console...I am impressed...makes La Scalas sound alive

    Picked up this stereo console a few weeks back. From what previous owner told me it seems to have been in continual use since it’s heyday back in ‘59. This console has provisions for external speakers which I am currently using and I really am surprised by the sound of this amp. I used to...
