Recognize this console/cabinet?

The electronic are long gone, but the speakers are still there. The turntable is a Miracord 10, so this was a high-end set-up when new. The speakers may well be good, too.

Nope but, a nice looking cabinet. Maybe $50 for a good retro system with the 10 and hopefully the speakers are decent.
 
Long like a Barzilay. Not sure if it is one though. That would be nice. Do you have it?- what speakers are in it? If it is a Barzilay, they used JBLs in some of their designs.

That's what I was thinking, that it looks like a Barzilay... which is why I suspect there could be some JBL drivers in there.

No, I don't have it, or have room for it, as tempting as it is.

How much room can the drivers take up ?? Me personally,I'd have to have a look see if it were "within range".

Barzilay just made the cabinetry.You could put whatever you wanted inside.I've seen a w i d e variety of gear in them.

I can understand that with say,a Factory Fisher console,or even a nice Maggie,Zenith,Motorola...etc. But Barzilay cabinets were sold empty,then you added the components you wanted....besides,it's already partially stripped.
Just my .02 cents ya understand !
BTW,I have personally saved three Barzilay units from certain death at the hands of strippers and flippers that were going to toss the cabinetry. :twak:
If it had desirable drivers, I'd keep them,and resell the console.

I believe I saw a very very similar cabinet a year and a half a go at an estate sale. They wanted more than I was willing to give is all I can recall at the moment...that and I have no more room left. Will have to think about it for a bit.

I'm GUESSING that a Garrard TT would mean Utah or Electro-Voice drivers, but the ELAC 10 was a pricey unit at the time, therefore maybe pricey driver (certainly a high-end cabinet).

The local Barzilay dealer (assuming it was sourced locally) was the McIntosh dealer, and I'm also guessing there may have been Mac in that thing. Austin was a very small market back in the early '60s.

I've seen a barzilay credenza with a Garrard TT with Scott gear and JBL drivers... Somewhere on AK. The one I saw that I thought was similar a while back had a Garrard TT but I can't recall what components it had in it. No opportunity to see the drivers.

EDIT: here't the AK thread I was referring to.... http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=307188

Yep. That's the high-end Garrard, and would int at glory underneath.
