I vaguely rem3ember someone here mentioning they had seen or possessed one of theese.  A Nutone Inter-Com with record player.  This is in a house for sale that's in the back of the subdivision where I grew up.  House built in 1961.

Wowee!  I've seen the intercom a couple of times, even the model with the AM/FM radio, but never one with the record player.  Too cool!!  

 

Phil needs one of these to complete his new mid-century digs!!

I dare someone to try to use that turntable in a house with my Sub lol

I had an uncle that had a whole home intercom that was likely a Nutone

I've seen later versions with the phono and tape player at Homearama. The first show I was to was in '68. Since NuTone was based in Cincinnati, nearly all the homes featured their products.

Was that actually a "resting" position the tone arm is supposed to be in, or am I right in cringing just thinking what the needle will do to the next records after being subjected to such "care"?

If I remember right, record players in my youth needed to have the tone arm locked on a resting post before being moved about to avoid needle damage.

That's a very strange window set up in the background. A Huge double hung window to the floor ?

Never saw that ever.

if that window replaced a door?

Cool nutone, but as mentioned not the best way of mounting a turntable.
Rather have a MCM console from the tube era.

Yes,

I've seen a few.
It seems in Texas, even windows are bigger. LoL.
That window would not be winter time friendly in the north east, nor anywhere it rains a lot. In fact, my guess, is it is against most building codes in those states.

These look familiar - think I've seen the top two units in a CL search once, but never the tape deck or TT(personally, I find that humorous, the way it hangs out.
;-)

My Aunt and Uncle had one of the intercom/radios in their house that was built in the mid-60s.    I have never see one of the hanging turntables before though.

My  aunt in Poughkeepsie had one in their house, not the tt or tape deck though.   I was fascinated by it when I was a kid and of course bugged my folks to get us one , to no avail obviously LOL.  

 

When we were house hunting  here there were a few homes we visited that had them,, sadly not this one we bought and it would be useful being a 4 level split

If you're a "built-in nut" like me you have to think that thing is so very cool. I could have an authentic Early American house with a  Betsy Ross Signature Kitchen and I'd still want one of those.

Seen Before

A friend in Pittsburgh had this setup. He also had the countertop setup from Nutone that incorporated the blender, mixer, etc. I keep all my countertop appliances stashed in the garage, covered, for lack of room in my galley kitchen. Funny, the only thing I use regularly is my 1940s toaster. Almost every day!

Normally these would be mounted flush with the wall so it's a little strange to see them mounted like this. If you didn't care for a tape player, Nutone made a record storage unit that looked just like the turntable when closed.

Cool! Have never seen a set-up like that. Any of our resident phono experts know who made the record changer for Nutone?

Pretty neat-but the NuTone units WOULD NOT satisfy a Hi-Fi fan or audiophile.The amps in these won't have enough power to drive a good speaker system to realistic listening levels.You can only get so much from a speaker mounted IN the wall.These were for background housewife doing chores music.The audiophile of the family would have his own system.Hope the arm on that TT is LOCKED when it is folded back into the wall after use.When I see tonearms on empty platters--NOT good.
