Hi All:
This is and has been mono console summer. Between about June and August I got three cool mono Hi-Fi consoles. One actually worked and is in mint condition. It's a Telefunken Empress which has their Opus 7 radio as its rig with a TW561 ceramic changer and 6 speakers: 2: 8-1/2" 2: 4" and 2: 2.8" electrostatic Ridiculously clean. The nicest old piece of Hi-Fi I've ever had. It's from 1957.
I got a Lafayette branded console with all Radio Craftsmen electronics and an Altec 600-4 driver. Very cool! All recapped and resistored and working. I don't know what to do about the RC-30 changer made by Webster. I can fix it w/ an idler and cart from V/W Gary Stork but it is missing a cosmetic trim piece. The Tuner/pre (RC-8) and amp (RC-2) are really sweet. I did a couple of cone tear repairs and it rocks. I actually had to make a new baffle board for where the speaker mounts and add grill cloth as that baffle board wasn't there. Luckily the Altec was.
The last is a Stromberg Carlson 1210 which I rebuilt the Webster 56 (78 only) changer and did a recap, two tubes and a dial string and alignment. That thing puts out a lot of sound. it is 6V6 in push pull as is the RC-2
