    1964 The Fisher Regent - to Buy or Not?

    I have an opportunity to buy a nice looking Regency, but before I do, I'd like to get some opinions. From what I have read, this unit has a 400-CX-2 preamp, a R-200 tuner, and a TA-900 solid state power amp. It also has the Miracord 10 TT and a Ampex 1250 R2R. It looks like the tuner and the...

    Please help me with my Grundig

    Hello! I have an old Grundig KS 752 U stereo console that I just brought home and upon plugging it in I found that the lights, audio, and turntable do not operate. The only way that I know it's on is a slightly audible "click" that comes from the speakers. I was thinking it could be a fuse but...

    Help: Zenith Console iPod Hookup Wiring

    DISCLAIMER: I’m a newbie and really don’t know what I’m doing for the most part when working on vintage tube consoles. I recently picked up this 1961/62 Zenith SFF2500 Stereo Console. It appears that a previous owner replaced the previous turntable with a Garrand SL 55B and installed a...

    Good Vintage Cabinet Links to Buy/Gut?

    Hi All, I've just inherited my dad's late 1970s Sansui Setup (turntable is a Dual 600), and I'm having a heck of a time housing it. The Amp, processor and tuner models are of the type that could be screwed into a rack (consumer not commercial), but my dad threw the rack out sometime in the...

    Distortion in Voice of Music changer

    In early December I bought a 1960 Motorola console on CL. I've replaced the stylus but I have not replaced the Sonotone 8t cartridge.

    Late 60s Stereo Console

    Happy New Year, AKers! Personally, I was very happy to see 2015 in the rear view mirror. As with most things though, it was not all bad. My in-laws moved from their home of 50 years and in their usual generous way gave me their old stereo console. While I am not crazy about the styling, it is...

    Motorola ID Help?

    So I showed this from Craigslist to my wife this evening. Now it looks like I may have convinced her that my new hobby isn't such a bad thing. Can anyone help identify either the console or the amp chassis. It looks like it may be one of the 3 channel 6bq5 amps, but not sure. Thanks

    Another KLH 25 Console - rare version?

    As a huge fan of KLH dating back to working at a stereo store in the late 60s I just added one more item to my collection. A KLH Model 25 console showed up on my local Craigslist, I ended up paying $175 for it, not a bargain by any means, especially since it needs quite a bit of restoration...
