    New Here, Posting a BARZILAY CL ad I thought you'd find interesting.

    https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/hsh/d/cabin-john-vintage-marantz-stereo-system/6895808045.html Contacted the seller. She said the cabinet is available, but sadly the Marantz 18 and the JBL L101's have been sold. She's asking $250 for the cabinet. Thanks and hope you are all well.

    Antique 1950s Stereo!

    I was browsing in Facebook this evening and found this beauty in Mississippi Mills! The price is quite reasonable however this would be a mono system. Anyone know what it is? No affiliation in any way. I just thought it is really cool and had to share!

    MA-7 Consolette & Cue Speakers

    Finally got my hands on a Cue Speaker to add to the MA-7 Consolette I've had for years but still on the hunt for the elusive Operator & Service manuals. Does anyone have a pdf or know where to locate them? The usual HiFiengine and vintageshifi have ZERO on file.

    New to Tubes - Is this worth it?

    Hello All, I recently decided to take a dive into vinyl. While researching options for a mid-range setup I started looking at consoles. I ended up grabbing a GE that was for sale locally.

    Steelman console worth picking up?

    Local guy is clearing out his Mother's house and has a Steelman console stereo. Says it's model 604 with serial number 69594, and thinks it's from 1959. Has a record player, and he says it's should have a radio, but he can't find the controls? So, I assume it either does not have a radio, or...
