[MickeySmile]

At my local CL, there is an ad. of this console for sale and I don't know what it is. Could some one ID this console?

Wow! It be huge. 8 feet wide. And potentially exciting.
Looks like a custom cabinet. 12 inch coax (or triax? - hard to tell in the tiny pic) drivers could be something very nice, and yes - I suspect tubes....

looking like pilot tubes in there, too. brass and black...mmmm.

The owner said "it's tubez' but he asked too much! No way I can afford.

That was my guess too. The woofers are anybodies guess, but Jensen, University, and Bozak made coaxial speakers like that. I don't think they are triax's, they look like a 12" with a bar across the front and two cone tweeters mounted on the bar.

Holy Smokes! That's big.

No help here as to ID. Good luck.

Insane price, cool console. :S

keep an eye out; and contact him and let him know you're interested, but not at that level, certainly not without knowing what's in it (better pictures, better description). ask him if you can pull the speakers and the amp, and let him sell the cabinet. maybe, once he realizes no one wants it at that price he might be actually able to make *some* money selling it to someone interested.

I would not give more than $100.00 even if it were in perfect operating and cosmetic condition.

 

[buglegirl]

Hiya,

And if it had a vintage WE 300B amp inside it some where's ???

Never say never. But really yah odds are its worth 100 to 150 max.

Yesterday I called him to ask for the information, he said the speakers are Calrad CR-12A (Janpan made) and the AM-FM tuner ????? SAS-400. He denied to open the back panel to look for the amp section. Also, he said he got an offer for 550 therefore I thought he won't go down for the price or let me gut the speakers, tuner and amp.

By the way, the console is too big, no way I can hide it from "MY BOSS" at home
