Very classy rig!

 

[Viking37721]

Sa-weet!! That's very very nice.

 

[Skylab]

Thanks guys! Appreciate the kind words.

I like that even though some components are from different companies they all look good together.

 

[Skylab]

I've re-arranged and swapped out some gear, and it's now all Pioneer except for the Sansui EQ:

Cool!

That Dead poster is three days before the day I was born. Sure would have loved to have been at that show!

Nice rig...I dig the turn table/record drawing, a masterpiece for sure. :thmbsp:

 

[Skylab]

Thanks guys.

yeah, Rex, my daughter drew that for me about 8 years ago...and I still love it

I got a wood case for my RT-707, and so that prompted me to take one more pic, with a better camera this time. Also new is the lava lamp

Love all that warm wood. Really looks superb.

Wow, that's a really impressive system Skylab :thmbsp:. I've seen that tape deck, before it's a pretty good machine. Is that a quadrophonic unit and 8 track in the bottom right corner?

Ok. I am soooo loving the wood cabinet for your RT-707. Tell us how you did it. Is it custom? Is it OEM? Tell us....

Thanks! Yes it is a QL-600a quad unit, but below it is a SR-303 reverb unit. But are used just for the gratuitous light display - they are not in the signal chain.

Thanks! It was made for me by another AKer, wdt1971, who I know is interested in other custom wood jobs - see Barter Town. I am very happy with the work he did - I wanted a wood case for my RT-707 but Pioneer made very few, and even if you can find one of their originals they are usually in bad shape.

 

[wdt1971]

wow it looks good!! glad it fit!!! i am ready to make something else!!!!

 

[josh.d]

very nice looking setup, bet it sounds even better than it looks!

 

[Skylab]

I finally got the perfect speaker stands for my HPM-100:

Perfect in that they are the exact right size and height, and actually look just like I had wanted. Just got lucky.

Since nobody mentioned the Jerry Garcia doll in the corner - I will and I have the same one - my 27 yr old spotted it at Spencer's several years back and got it for me. I also love the drawing your daughter did as well - priceless.

I'll ditto what everyone else has already said to - GREAT looking stuff you have there !

Wow....nice. Brings back memories.
