    Hi folks, I'm normally not one to complain publicly about a company, but I've in the midst of a very sketchy transaction with Michael Gammon at Transcriptors.

    STEREO REPAIR and identification

    Hello hopefully to a vintage stereo enthusiast!! This is a long shot, i know. I have this stereo unit from the 1960’s. The cord has been cut as I needed the plug for another use, but of course it was tested before then. I can’t find much info about it online. Is there anyone out there who...

    60s RCA Stereo/Record Console - Crackling Subwoofer: source partially narrowed down -- need help diagnosing

    Hello all, I just picked up an RCA VMT-72W console for free on fb marketplace. It worked nearly perfectly--the only problem was the (stage) right subwoofer cracking intermittently. It would improve some when you fiddled with the balance knob but never fully went away. When i opened the back...

    Curtis Mathes Console Turntable System

    Hi All, Recently I found what initially seemed like a TV stand at a friend's garage. I thought I will just refinish it and use it as a TV stand. While working on that project I found out that this was Curtis Mathes Console. I didn't realize this also because it was missing all the sound related...

    1962 Magnavox console restoration

    I recently scored a turntable from goodwill for really cheap. Everything works- the turntable, radio, and speaker are loud! After doing some digging, I’ve found it is a 1962 Magnavox Micromatic model 1ST622R. I barely found any information online other than forums. I don’t know anything about...

    Another Magnavox Micromatic question

    Hello! I've happened upon a very clean Magnavox Micromatic record changer, pulled from a console no doubt. This is the fairly ubiquitous changer everybody remembers from the '60s, with the curved black "serpant" arm. I notice is has a 3-pin connector to the motor, and two RCA connections for...
