   awesome. i have the big daady version of this exact machine. meaning mine is a six speaker stereo model. it belonged to my great aunt who died this year at the age of 101. i love that machine. it screams and has tone from another planet. best part is it takes the same tubes as fender guitar amps. rock on

   I have this exact system, that my Great Grandparents used to own. I’m looking forward to restoring it. I don’t think mine will clean up quite as nice though

    It’s wonderful to see & hear your restored console. Such fine quality & true workmanship in these machines. In comparison, today’s stuff seems slapped together, and when a problem comes up it’s often cheaper to replace than repair.

    Man that was a pretty good price, maybe another set will come along though. I use mine a lot since I replaced the capacitors in the amp. My Grandfather said he paid $150 for it brand new.

    Yeah I’m glad my Grandparents kept this one. I never knew why until I got it working again.
    It sounds amazing. I’d like to find the matching tv someday. Did the one you passed up include the external speaker for 35 bucks?

    I could kick myself. Three years ago I ran across a pristine identical model at an antiques consignment store for 35 dollars. I passed it up.

    yeah ive scanned so much with it and allthough the “getting ready to print” part of it is a little slow it makes up with printing really fast and being able to scan and copy and it can read memory card but sadly not write to them but i can use a kids sansa shaker mp3 player to read from and write to the card
