I wonder what the gear is in there?
Yep lots of tubes. Maybe I'll email him so send me the raw pics and we can see more details.
Email sent
I'll let you know if I get a response.
BTW, there's no way I'm going after it, just curious.

hmm I've seen about 8 come up on ebay so far... not counting the ones our members have found on CL :scratch2:
BTW, what acompletely useless waste of space. I can imagine when it was new "hello sir come check out my new stereo!" "George...thats a desk, does someone need to go back to the eye doctor?"
People are funny sometimes, oh well.
IIRC, its a 3 channel amp loaded with 6bq5's.

Nobody special.
Not Stromberg Carlson... I've actually seen three of these in person. They're not very rare at all.

For someone who cares more about their decor than about their hi-fi, and who likes rolltop desks, these made sense. Certainly higher WAF than the usual stereo!
I almost bought a pair of speakers that were housed in cabriole-legged, inlaid-veneer cabinets with cloth-and-fretwork fronts, that looked just like some kind of end tables or cabinets. Decent Japanese Crysler speakers inside (still in their own original cabinets within the larger outer ones, and thus possibly removable?). Very high WAF, and they complemented another piece of furniture we have, beautifully, but I just couldn't figure out any arrangement of furniture using them that would work, so in the end I passed on them. Still sort of regret it.
The rolltop desk stereo? Cool in a way, but not for everyone, nor for every interior.

Interesting use of a desk.

Guild made allsorts of natty "reproductions" of antique bric-a-brac-w/a radio and/or TT inside. I've seen spice racks, this thing, "crank" telephones, & I have a "Town Crier"-an AM/FM radio that is in a case made to look like an old lamp. It really isn't too bad of a performer-as good as any other table set in 1964 prolly would have been.
Well, the seller is a little concerned as he emailed me back no pictures, no model number, a statement that he doesn't give out his email (which ironically was in the header???), and an invitation to call and come over and look at it.
It doesn't look like too bad a deal from a tube point of view. A couple of the right 6BQ5s and 12AX7s could make it a decent deal, even if it is some wacky 3 channel circuit.
