It looks like all MCS gear but not sure. Probably worth a look for free, if I have time? Thanks

Sony turntable.

The turntable is a Sony PS-T25 and the component at the very bottom looks like a Pioneer 100 disc CD changer. Can't tell what the speakers are but the one on the bottom looks like it has some potential.

I suspect that the tuner and amp were made for MCS by Panasonic. The tape deck is anybody's guess.

Yep, MCS tape, tuner and integrated. For free? Why not???

Sony turntable.

With what appears to be a Stanton 68x cartridge.

Thanks guys, I have a couple of my grandkids today so I may not be able to go picking.

Most MCS gear, at least amps/receivers were made by NEC. Worth snagging most definitely.

MCS gear had rack handles? Don't I see rack handles on that tape deck?

Yep --- there's a MCS stack that had rack handles. Kind of looked like Technics gear black aluminum stack too.

Yep, in a NY minute for me. If it's MCS gear I'd be all over it. The MCS stuff is so under rated in my opinion. While not top\top of of audio gear chain, it does not suck, period!!

Has anything with rack handles ever sucked? Serious question. One of the guidelines I gave my brother when he is yard sale-ing is to buy anything with rack handles.

You're going to end up with a pile of Nady amps if you're not careful...

I just Googled. Good example. Modern Nady stuff does suck.

The ad is still up, so this may still be available. I see a MCS 3847 amp (NEC AUA-7000E), 3700 tuner (NEC AUT-7000E), 3562 cassette deck (NEC AUK-7000E), and the original rack that it came with when sold new (1978-79). A very nice 45 wpc system, and that rack is very cool. Clean these pieces up, and you'll be very impressed with the sound - assuming they all work. The speakers are probably the weak link.

I wish I were closer....been looking for that particular rack forever.
