Looks like clunky 1970 styling as indicated.

The felt behind the wooden trim over each speaker looks way too 1970s for me....we had one with purple velvet behind the wood ....I would almost certainly say solid state....but what do I know?

I'm gonna say no. Looks like mid 70s American Ugly to me.

1970ish stereo console with 1970ish solid state is my guestimation.

It is a 1968 or 1969 Admiral, It is SS and may have the Euphonics Strain Gage
Cartridge, Some of the upper line Admirals from '66 thru '68 used that
famous cartridge.

Mango! You have a Admiral from 1969 and it uses a Tetrad Red socket cartridge (can be replaced with Black or light blue socket). I have replace a lot of them on that console. I owned an Admiral and Zenith Sales And Service Dealership that i closed in 1985. This is a good stereo and was known as the Super 125 series, that has a record changer made by Admirals own manufacturing plant in Chicago.Il. It is great sounding from the ones i sold. take care of it. Cheers !!

Orhophonic! You Need to Know !!!

Orthophonic, Please check your facts !! before you indulge, As to you response to the Admiral Stereo, the euphonic cartridges were not used after 1966, admiral also used Sonotones more often then Euphonic up to 1966 then they got smart and used Tetrad in the consoles and Electrovoice in portables. Because all admirals were now fully solid state they could use a much quieter preamp, lower voltage, and a far better Cartridge, lighter tonearm. sonotone and euphonic cartridges were stiff and would not let the needle move well, they also would ruin records fast. the Admiral Changers new arm was trim and light and thin headshell. I still have New Admiral replacement changers in the box. They worked vary well, The fewest moving parts of any changer ever built at that time. Cheers
