Post your random/interesting audio pics here. Couldn't find a thread like this, so started a new one.



I'll start ..

I stumbled upon the birthplace of emojis -- the Sony EL-7 cassette deck.

Who knew vintage audio had such influence!!!!!


Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Cool cassette deck!!

Yes, but its buttons are apparently emotionally conflicted about said deck

I like the "Uh . . . what?" smiley face Pause button even more. "Uh . . . why are you pausing? I like this song."

 

[Artie]

Can we squeeze another function in here . . . ?

P.S. I gotta give 'em credit for calling it "the CONTROL amp."

 

[hnash53]

I can never get enough of these silver-faced beauties!

 

[DeadRock]

Doesn't get much use...but perfectly functional...

This pair beats 3 of a kind

Wow! Thats a whole ot of control for all sources.
I'm not sure I would want to attempt to work on one if something was wrong.
I would love to see a picture with the top off.

My 300B SET amp build I was testing before I stuffed it into a chassis.
I had the power transformer, choke, output transformers, a source, and speakers all connected with alligator clip jumper wires. It was dead quiet wired up like that too. No hum.

I like the dark meters. The SX-780 I came across had them.

Ya, the one that's left. I used them for test speakers. Nice sounding little speaker kits. A big SS receiver I was working had one channel fail while I had it hooked up and fried the voice coils out of the other one.
If the price hadn't jumped so high for them I would buy another pair. I only paid $100 originally. There is one other little Dayton kit pair that's still pretty cheap I may get.

yeah. i bought the cnotes when they were a cnote. then they went up to $150. i think they came down to $140 now. they are pretty finnicky speakers.

in a room, at ear level. they sound great.

hanging from the ceiling , in a garage, not so great but if you stand right outside the garage door on the driveway, they sound spectacular.

i would not pay $140 for them.

Pretty much the same for the O.S.'s. They sound pretty good near field sitting on a desk or bench. I liked them. But they don't do well in a larger area away from you. They are very easy to listen to and the 1" silk dome tweeter I liked a lot.
