Looks like that Motorola Hi-Fi faces a BAD fate-could it be heaved into the back of a waiting RL trash truck?Hope SOMEONE else got to it first.The Amp and tuner built into the lid is strange!The Magnavox Windsor Hi-Fi could have some restoration potential.At least the cabinet wasn't gutted of the Amp,TT, Speakers,and tuner.

1958 Curtis Mathes "Great Dane" hi-fi console.These are famous and wanted among console collectors.I will pass on the Electrohome.The tubed Scotts and Fishers-GREAT-the early SS units shown--not so good-will need recapping!You will have to "shotgun" ALL of their electrolytic caps.And replacement styli and or cartridges,too for the TT's.
Again the microwave with the TV and tape player is just too much.Like how it says "solid state" on the control panel-----Does that machine have advanced circuits of some sort-SS for the TV and tape player-----BUT-- the microwave still has a magnetron and the TV has a picture tube-CRT.Never seen such a thing until now.Nuke the popcorn and lets watch "I Love Lucy"!!!

pretty much agree with Rex...

firedome's profile picture
especially the Scott tube separates console is excellent. Not sure why the C-M would be sought after except for cabinet style, but not familiar with what "innards" it has but in general they were sort of run-of-the mill, and from what I can see of the all-in-one receiver this one would fall into that category imo.

Post# 944181 , Reply# 51   6/19/2017 at 01:01 (2,474 days old) by tolivac (greenville nc)        

There are a LOT of CM fans out there-agree that Scott,Fisher,Magnavox would be better than CM.CM had their exclusive followers.The CM Great Dane console had 6BQ5 PP output stages.The power supply for the Amp-tuner was on a separate chassis-it used a 5U4 rectifier tube power transformer,and filter caps.The CM cabinet was unique and nice looking.Liked how the amp,TT could be accessed from the front rather than lift top doors on the top of the console.

Post# 944249 , Reply# 52   6/19/2017 at 13:50 (2,474 days old) by firedome (Binghamton NY & Lake Champlain VT)        
so about 17w/ch

firedome's profile picture
for 6BQ5 in PP. Separate PS in a console is somewhat unusual, it was found somewhat more often in early to mid '50s Hi-Fi components. Tend to prefer designs with the 5AR4, 5V4G, current draw has to be accounted for but with indirectly heated cathode as has about a 10 sec.delay so doesn't hit input and output tubes with full-on B+ the way a 5U4, 5R does, also produces surge on the filter caps. OK if the design properly takes all this into account, but like the slow warm up rectifiers. Full B+ can be potentially hard on expensive output tubes... don't want to blow those NOS $2500+ WE 300B tubes in some SET amps (not that I'd ever have one!)... thanks heavens you only need 2 tubes for stereo!

the C-M IS a very attractive cabinet design, very nice console indeed.

BTW the 2 amps in post #47 are out of tape recorders, not sure of the brand.


Post# 944322 , Reply# 53   6/20/2017 at 00:38 (2,473 days old) by tolivac (greenville nc)        

5U4 vs 5AR4-yes-I replaced 5U4s with 5AR4 whenever possible.The only disadvantage to the 5AR4 is the lower voltage drop may be hard of filter caps in another way-the voltage may be too much for them.For the most part the 5AR4 sub worked better.However---5U4 is better than SS rectifiers unless the equipment has auto time delay start or separate switches for filaments and HV.Many new "G-Fiddle" amps are made this way-then there is one G-fiddle amp that allows you to choose between tube rectifier (5U4) or SS.Like the high end audiophool folks the g-fiddlists are a similar bunch.WE 300 tubes----so remember CASES of those at a surplus store about 35 yrs ago-They were JAN marked-WE was the maker.They were being sold for like 50 cents each!!!BRAND NEW-Should have bought the case and sell them for god knows what today-the audiophools will pay HUGE dollars for those today.It all started when the WE300 was an amp tube developed for the phone Co to amplify phone calls!

right...

firedome's profile picture
and then the Asian collectors decided in the '70s/80s to worship at the altar of WE and prices went BALLISTIC - WE line amps and old theatre amps can go for 5 figures and NOS WE300B tubes now will regularly bring over 2 grand each! ... Rex you could have retired on that case!!

I've heard equally sad stories, like the Altec movie amp technician who told me he took pickup loads of amps and brand new tubes to the dump :-(


Post# 944964 , Reply# 55   6/24/2017 at 01:58 (2,469 days old) by tolivac (greenville nc)        

Yes--visit the Film-Tech forums and you can read about stories of old WE,RCA cinema equipment deep in theater basements or piled behind screens-that was a good retirement place for old gear before being dumpted.Now those folks are getting wise to the prices of the older gear and saving it and selling it on EBay,Craigslist.On YouTube they show some abandoned theaters with this sort of stuff-surprised some urban explorers interested in the vintage sound gear didn't help themselves!Movie stuff-you should see the sad pictures of classic 35,70 MM projectors hauled to scrapyards waiting sad fates with the crusher-when the theaters converted to digital LOTS of nice gear got dumpted-esp the sad picture of two beautiful Norelco AA 35/70MM projectors dumpted by the dumpster behind a theater that just converted.Those Norelcos were considered the BEST fiml projectors made!!!They may not know what they had-a Norelco buff or used cinema de3aler may have paid them big bucks for those!!!!Those machines weigh more than half ton each.They were built to last-and-last!!!

Re Brasillia

Imnot sure, but I think this is a Kent Coffey Perspecta cabinet, Broyhill didn't make cabinets for stereos unless I'm badly mistaken, I wonder who the electronics were made by, GE used William Tell woodcrafters, Sylvania cabinets were Heywood Wakefield and Motorola used Drexel.

The GE coffee table Hi-fi console-note you can swing the TT out-but it is still under the top-making loading or unloading-cueing records difficult.That Admiral flight deck Hi-fi would be easier in that regard!

1949 Magnavox 552h Embassy Vintage Vacuum Tube Console w Rec

ovrphil's profile picture
If I had room...this would be a nice addition to the "stereo room(s)"

CL Seller ad reads:

"For sale is my gorgeous working Magnavox Embassy 552h Record player radio console. It was made only between 1949-1950 Magnavox and was one of thier high end models. By this time, Televisions were being incorporated into the cabinets (or on top with the Windsor Imperial) so mine had the option. However it was sold sans television, and has plenty of record storage. :D The Embassy was one model below the massive Windsor.
The turntable has been serviced and has been completely restored (new pulley all parts lubed even comes with extra new needle) It has been retubed with high quality vintage usa tubes. Field coil speaker is in excellent condition with no damage or deterioration. Everythings works and sounds great. Excellent condition. It has been a real labor of love that I have much more time and money into than I am asking. It uses a 6v6 power amplifier. It is hooked up and can be auditioned. Email if seriously interested and have cash.

A demonstration video can be seen here :

1850 for "The Fisher" Hi-fi console-think the seller needs to get his head out of the speaker!The 1949 Magnavox mono hi-fi system looks just like one a former neighbor had-worked GREAT-was his mothers.They moved.He didn't want to sell his set.Don't like 60-70's SS stuff-had a TERRIBLE sound even though the amp would measure good on an audio analyzer.The Fisher 220T receiver looks good-would like to see whats under the covers.The money shot!Usually Fisher is pretty good.

My Aunt Doris had the Magnavox shown in reply #71 & #83. The last time I saw it, it was in an upstairs bedroom. Don't know what became of it after she went to assisted living, and now nursing home. Wouldn't doubt it's in storage with most of her other possessions.

VERY NICE!!!!The Hi-Fi is in remarkable condition.The link doesn't work.This must of been the model before my Mothers unit-hers was bought in the early 60's.The electronics were largely the same.I kept hers CLEAN-no dust in it-The one for sale needs cleaning BAD-the dust on the tubes will make for strange smells while its running.And will probably need recapping,switches and pots cleaned,-new stylus for the TT.Also my Moms unit had the sliding top covers.

Fisher President Hi-fi console-its LOADED-you have to be the President to afford it.I don't like early SS designs-a TUBED design is better.Don't know whatbrand the TT or cassette machine is.Too many unknowns in that President Hi-Fi.Esp for the price.I used to have a Sony RR tape machine similar to the one that is in the console.

Packard Bell Hi-fi-free-whats with the "X-Y" thing on the control panel?Well its free so the taker can find out.Too far for me-all of these sound interesting-except the gutted one.Do they really think I will pay ANYTHING for their GUTTED console?And what happened to the guts-why was it gutted like a caught fish?Fisher Diplomat console-4 transmitters??We could use that in the Greenville transmitter plant.From the pictures---its a HYBRID-part tube-part SS.NO THANKS!!!!Link on the Fisher Futura didn't work-for 500 bucks they can keep it.Looking at these ads is interesting but not practical for me.All beyond reach.
