Is this a console?

[KentTeffeteller]

It is a Barzilay furniture console. Has normal separate components installed in it. Very nice. Changer is newer than the rest of it. All good stuff.

Ok, reporting back. I can't haul the Barzilay console but was able to buy the gears inside. Tell me how I do?

A pair of AR 2ax speakers and a Scott receiver? I Think you already know that you did well. :thmbsp:

How much did you end up paying?

 

[jameswei]

The speaker terminal has three screws H O H which one is positve?

 

[jameswei]

I offered $150.00 and he took it.

The instructions are right in front of your nose.

It was a solid state Scott, a smallish dual and indeterminate speakers All for 400

That is high.I have a Scott 382-B from '68,and a couple of 1200 series Duals I may never use.I paid less than $20 for all three in 2011,when our Goodwill clearance was still going great.That said,those are components,I would much rather have a nice Barzilay console than a bunch of components. :thumbsdn:

Too bad you didn't get a picture of the whole console.

I have a good idea what they go for on the flea bay, but have no clue as what's the worth on the Scott 344C.

 

[jameswei]

I have no way of picking those up because I didn't but the cabinets.

Here's a picture of the whole console from the original estate sale website. (before I pulled 30 albums from the left side where the jazz was stashed)....

When I got there the cabinets was in three pieces and not by choice. The connecting screws were showing, so whoever was looking at the gears bend the thing in three pieces. that was the main reason I only wanted the gears.

I would have used that situation as a bargaining tool to get the price down.

You can eventually find your perfect vintage system. There are so many different components that you will encounter. There aren't so many great places to put them. If you look to buy something new, it will likely cost a fortune. And Barzilays don't come along every day.
