Help with audio equipment I received today.

[mdunn110]

I'm very dumb when it comes to these type of things but I received audio equipment today and I'm wondering if it's worth me keeping. Everything is in a large case on wheels. The case says "Custom Designed By Daltco,Inc.". What's inside is a Sharp RT-20 cassette player, a Concord CR-210A Receiver, a Akai 4000 DS MK-II reel to reel player and a Lenco B52 turntable. Any information will be appreciated!! Thank You In Advance!

Welcome to AK ! You hit the Jackpot, methinks... Whaddabout speakers ?

 

[Urizen]

You're a brave soul to have that cabinet into your kitchen. It looks like a roach motel.

Welcome!

Thank You!!!! There are no speakers but there is output on the back of the case for them. I'll attach a picture.

Welcome!

I sure hope it isn't!!! I've relocated it since this picture and it was in a classroom at our local college. So hopefully I've haven't adopted some nasty critters along with this!

I would think the Lenco would be interesting.

Good score. :thmbsp:

Looks like someone's DJ setup from the late 60's/70's. Could be fun!

Prehistoric scra ... scra scra scra scra ... scratcher!

I'd take a close look at the stylus and cartridge. <G>

The Lenco is nice, the Sharp is very usable, I'd ditch the rest (and that cabinet!).

The Lenco, while not as desirable as the 'heavy platter' models, has some potential. BTW the counterweight on the back of the tonearm is on upside-down. As mentioned, I wouldn't attempt to play records on it until you've verified the stylus is OK.

The Concord receiver I recall is fairly low powered unit (15 wpc or so)
Akai made some very good tape decks.

Yeppur!

I had a RT-10 that made some very nice tapes I still play that are at least 30 something years old.

lenco

Is this one that has a rim drive to the underside of the turntable plate?
I never heard of this until recently and I am intrigued.
Supposedly variable speed is easier as the rim drive wheel moves to either the inner or outer to change speed.

That Akai 4000DS MKII is a very decent entry level three head open reel deck, definitely don't ditch that! The receiver is a lower end Panasonic, nuttin' special there. The Lenco table is most likely a very desirable and high quality piece, do some looking up on that one. The cassette deck is, well it's a cassette deck.

Nice find, couple of nice things there!

Although that beast has a certain panache I see nothing exciting there... with the possible exception of the Lenco. The Lenco merits a second look.
