Receiver ID?

[SaturationPt]

It looks McIntosh-like, but not Mc. Is this Lafayette or something similar?

No affil, for sale on the Flint CL: https://flint.craigslist.org/fuo/d/lake-orion-stereo-cabinet-with-speakers/7163151383.html which is too far away for me, just curious (realistic speakers).

I have no idea.
Gives me a Pilot-esque vibe, but absolutely no Pilot I could find was a match.
Having said that, there's also a certain Japanese vibe to it -- although, again, nothin' I can think of
Not an R/S or LRE receiver that I recognize, either.

I nosed around www.alliedcatalogs.com and www.radioshackcatalogs.com for a bit, but even I have my limits.

Well, if you get really bored, you can always go leafin' through the archives:

Some LRE catalogs there, too:

Knight model KG-964? I had one a few years back that I picked up from an estate sale. Mine was built from a kit and very nicely done.

 

[SaturationPt]

Wow there it is!! Thanks, I've been really wondering what that receiver could possibly be.

 

[mhardy6647]

good freaking catch!

Those were AFAIK a kit-only model and different to the fully assembled Knight components of their time.
I never woulda come up with that one -- even perusing Allied catalogs (as I was this morning...)

Heck -- she was the cover girl for 1966!
(I stopped looking @ '65)

That Dual 1003 (I think) is also worth the price of admission.

I think it's a 1009 (FWIW)

Yeah, that's what I meant but just didn't remember the number correctly. I have one in my Scott Copley console.

Mine doesn't have the changer spindle like that one.

$189.95 in 1966, that wasn't cheap!

 

[mhardy6647]

That's because it used transistors.
Space-age technology.

$1,511.37 in 2020 dollars.

For $150, I'd have a look if it was reasonably close.
