Help ID stereo components please....

[wd409]

regarding the price tag looking things, I cant see them clearly atm on account of my vision is blurry (just woke up a little while ago. havnt focused yet) but they may just be id tags.

but I will say this. those onkyo e-200 speakers are worth looking into.
every driver has cast aluminum frames, and thats a 'leaf' tweeter in those things.

my pair has seen some rough times, but if you want to see pics of the insides and what not visit this thread: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=257075

there is a clear pic of the specs sheet on the back too.

The speakers with the telescopes on top look interesting.
I think they are a different set than the Thunder Lizards, which are good for a laugh, but not worth the effort of actually buying and taking home and getting annoyed by and then carrying out to the garage thinking that it would be too hasty to actually just put them in the trash, but knowing that eventually you will do that, but only after tripping over them and stubbing your toes on them for half a year. You could give them to a teenage boy, but wouldn't be easier to let him buy them to begin with, and remove the middleman?

I dunno... I am definitely getting a ThunderLizard vibe fromt the photo. One of the two spotting scopes looks to be an old (but good) Bausch and Lomb. I know a very (very!) serious birder (Mass Audubon employee) who uses one to this day.


Come to think of it, Nat probably knows even more about the optics than he does about the speakers!

There is something on the right hand side of image 25 which might be junk, but might not be. There is a Grundig or similar console in image 51, and looking more carefully at the speakers in 94 with the spotting scopes, I can see what looks like it might be a Bose insignia on the metal strip at the bottom, so they might be 601s -- if so, I'm less excited than when I thought they might be mystery speakers.
I note that the Marantz, though later than the ones I like best, appears to have the oscilloscope, in which case, it jumps in my estimation.
As to optics -- I know a lot about cameras, but much less about telescopes. I agree with Mark that those on the speakers do look rather like Bosch and Lomb, and could be nice to own.

That one set of speakers looks like BSR Loudspeaker DR 1550, sold in the old DAK catalogs.

I'll take the pool table.:yes:

I owned the BSR's brand new. Not well made, not worth wear and tear on your back hauling them.

Well I'm #18 on the sign up sheet, so hopefully there'll be some scraps leftover. Thanks for the input everyone! I think I'm gonna go for the Marantz and Onkyo speakers, and anything else interesting. I have my wife stressing out by telling her I'm going for the couch.:yes:

Just remember that with the vinyl couches, in the summer when you get up the cushions will come with you Also be careful that there isn't any rotting latex foam rubber in the couch, nasty stuff that is.

Well, the Marantz was gone, but I bought a silver face/wood cabinet Akai CS-707D cassette player, and 1 brand new Onkyo E-200 speaker. I guess I will end up selling or parting out the speaker if I can't find another one, but I couldn't resist buying it, it looks really cool. I'll try to post pics later if anyones interested. Once again, thanks for all the input!

I was just about to say.. I was more interested in the spotting scopes than any of the gear.. I've been looking for a good one for myself for a long time at sales..

A couple of the pieces of furniture I saw too could be worth a nice profitable flip. Especially like the rocker cradle... If the price on it is right, you could make a really pretty penny off it. It appears to be pretty old..
