What's your latest audio purchase?

All three of my BlueSound Nodes stopped working yesterday and I had to reconnect them using my slow and spotty Bluetooth connection from my internet modem. I had had them connected to some of those plug into the wall repeaters hardwired with CAT6 Ethernet cable, but the master repeater took a dump.

I went to Amazon and ordered a TP Link AXE 5400 router yesterday (it is the "Archer AXE75" tri-band 6G) it showed up this afternoon and I hooked it all up but it had no internet connection so I had nothing ! I had my son come over after work and he figured it out in about 2 minutes (plug the CAT 6 cable from the modem to an ORANGE input on the router, not the BLUE one that the instructions say to use and the router will boost the signal from the modem up to 6G). I now have crazy fast Wifi all over the house and the Nodes are working better than ever !

Sweet little 9302-00 amp, 15" woofers, mids, and 4 tweeters. Cleaned 65 years worth of dust out of it. Wife likes the MCM look and for now it's in our dining area. Excuse the mess.

Edited to say: Bonus for no mouse turds!

Those 93XX series EL84 PP amps were the best Magnavox made.
They get modded for stand alone use a lot. Probably the best ourput transformers they made as well. I love mine. I pulled it from a pretty beat up console. I still have the 15" woofers wnd horns as well.
Mine came with all Mgnavox labeled Mullard tubes. Two have lost vacume after all these years. I'm using Russian 6P14P-K's in it now with a set of NOS GE 6EU7's too. Indid completely change the pkwer supply in mine though. Two chokes and SS rectification. I love these little amps.

DCM Time Windows! They're series 1, but apparently the original owner took them in to have the Philips drivers updated to Vifa's. Bought them from a really nice guy who replaced the socks and a dead tweeter and refinished the caps. Can't wait to hook these up tomorrow.

DCM Time Frames!

Actually those are Time Windows. Again an interesting combination that needs some documentation from you to help determine what they were/are.

Any serial number stamped into the top of the bottom plate on the back of the speaker?
Yes, they look like early TW, they didn’t use a 1 in the number until the 1a showed up.
Looks to be DCM woofer, making them one of the later versions of the early (first 10,000), if these were not updated when the tweeters were changed.
Early also because of dual ports on the outside edges.

More to uncover about these speakers.

Nice catch, dunno why I typed Frames instead of Windows. There's no serial number, name plate, or anything even indicating DCM made them.

Apparently it took a couple hours and some heat to get the dead tweeter out, so the seller didn't do a recap. I might get into these at some point, but for now they're going to be doing living room duty while I refresh my TF500s.

I've always wondered what these would look like with a different sock. Maybe light colored linen or something.

Unless these are 1a with a nut on a chunk of all thread, you probably don’t want to go inside. Too much work.

GD70s find and restore thread shows early TW with octagonal woofers and ports like on your speakers. Added bonus, linen grille cloth.

Thread 'Today's Yard Sale Score: DCM Time Windows & Thorens TT Cart Amplifier-PICS'

Stopped and saw the usual dishes, clothes etc... As ALWAYS, I asked if they had any old audio gear. The guy said he had some speakers he bought new, couldn’t remember what they were called, “some tower speakers”. When he brought them out I said, oh, Time Windows, yeah, that’s it he said.

The guy was the original owner. Forgot to ask him what year he bought them. Had re-wrapped them in burlap, said the old foam dried out, painted the wood caps. He said they are working great, the last time he listened to them. Then he brings out this amplifier for powered Thorens cart & needles for free if...
