House hunting curiosity...

[Laughter]

So I have been house hunting over the last few weeks. One place caught my eye when a wall of records, dual 1219 and maranta receiver. I decided to take a second look when I looked in the home office and saw this....

That house may be calling you!

If you make an offer be sure to tell them they don't have to remove anything, you'll take it as is.

Wow, that is pretty cool, and surprising it is still installed after all these years.

Do NOT sign the deal until the "wall" is part of the write up.

The gang on our sister forum Videokarma would find that to be most interesting.

Second look at this house happens Monday. I will have to take a closer look at the interesting audio goodies after I figure out if the roof is a total loss.

I've moved several times in my life. The offers I received have always included my audio equipment and media. It's always good for a couple of laughs.

That's very cool. Is there a speaker in there somewhere? But you should expect that the TV and tuner will need major restoration before they're usable. You'll also need a converter if you want to use the TV, since current signals are digital and that TV is analog. There were a lot of converters made at the time of the switch to digital so folks could keep using their old analog sets. It shouldn't be hard to track one down in a thrift or the auction site. You won't need a converter for the tuner, though - those broadcasts are still analog.

When I bought my house, built in 1958, there was an odd opening in the stone fireplace wall in the living room. When I found the blueprints I found that it was for a built in TV. The TV was long gone, unfortunately. I've got an integrated amp, digital server and tuner in there now, which I prefer over a TV anyway.
