Microphonic - means, according to the dictionary of audio and video misunderstood words:

"Diminutive in appearance, but grand sounding like a full orchestra".

It has the resonator tonator built into the tubes, that give the rich, microphonic sound."


nice unit otherwise

microphonic...

firedome's profile picture
also refers to a sonic resonance by vacuum tubes that results in feedback-like distortion, a characteristic most undesirable in tubes used for sound reproduction. Small signal dual triode preamp tubes such as 12ax7/12au7 etc are often checked for microphonic tendancies by the more knowledgeable tube dealers & re-sellers, and some otherwise perfectly functioning tubes can exhibit pronounced microphony. Given some of the crazy prices some of those tubes bring, they should indeed be weeded out for applications where it could cause a problem. Odd that a console mfr. would adopt this particular descriptive term for their product.

Microphonic stages-the high gain stages like for TT preamps,mic preamp,tape heads where you need high gain the microphonics are more of a problem.For high level and low gain stages-not an issue.Some solid state devices can be microphonic,too-Varicap diodes in some FM transmitter exciters-these had to be mounted in a foam insulated drawer and temp controlled so it won't drift in frequency.And in solid state high gain stages-carbon resistors in them can react like carbon microphones making the stage microphonic.So film resistors are used instead.And of course in something like a hi-fi console where the amps and speakers,TT in same cabinet microphonics can be a big problem.Turntables have to be well suspended and insulated-and not mounted above a speaker.Folks are so startled when I show them the microphonic SS stages--esp that FM exciter-you tap it--and you get a loud "SpronnnnGGGG" from the receiver or monitor speaker-and if the transmitter is on air-will be heard over any radio receiving that station.With newer FM exciters and transmitters this is no longer a problem.And some AM tranmsitter oscillator stage tubes can be a problem-since this is a low level stage in the transmitter-if you tap the tube while the transmtter is on-you will get overload trips from the higher power stages.This even happens at where I work-the low level modulator stage preamp tubes 5879--tap or bump these while on air and you get multiple modulator overloads.I have seen so many 5879 tubes it isn't funny in broadcast gear-favorite tube in older Gates consoles for mic and TT preamps.Line amps in these use them,too.And of course these show up in hi-fi stuff,as well.
Oh yes,with those older SS FM exciters they had to be mounted in a separate rack from the transmitter RF power amps-the blowers in these will raise havoc!!!

I like this Motorola Console

twintubdexter's profile picture
I'm just a nut for well-done contemporary cabinets. This appears to be one of those "center third channel" stereos. I would venture to say it probably has Motorola's Vibrasonic system. Could be a Drexel cabinet too. I'm skeptical of the seller's claim that it needs new speakers. There's probably no sound which could be and easy fix, maybe not.

You can tell finished wood from vinyl-covered particle board from a mile away.

Late to the party here but that Magnavox is most definitely solid state, no tubes. I think the seller got microphonic confuse with Micromatic, the style of record player it uses.

Also, Magnavox SS stereos were called Astro Sonic.

The odd television in reply No. 12 is probably a Sylouette

scoots's profile picture
Sylvania came out with a line of televisions where the picture tube face was surrounded by a bezel that stood well forward of the cabinet, whose face was finished in a nubby 60's fabric. The idea was to make the screen seem larger and float detached in space.

There were several variations in this style from "forward-looking" to "aggressively modern".

I am seriously irked that I only found this today... I was in Philadelphia yesterday and would have considered swinging by Ohio for a pick up. I've been aware of this line for years, but this is the first I've seen for sale. My only consolation is that I'd prefer one of the more modern styling. Many mid-century designs are half-&-half and come across as wishy-washy.

Sylvania TV-those were "Halolight" models-a flourescent bulb was behind the white bezel around the pix tube screen.Phillips came out with a flatscreen TV that had a similar feature-instead LED lights changed colors as the scene on the screen changed-Ie they would be dark during a night scene-green where there is lots of grass-and blue during a daylight scene.
The RCA "stereo" radio phono with a 45 TT-Sorry its NOT stereo-we could say its "Monoerio"!
Knew someone that had a Motorola Hi-Fi console like the one shown-behind the center channel was a "subwoofer" for the really low bass tones-His sounded pretty good.We know of others that would like that woofer!

I have one of those Motorola stereos in the garage. It uses a 15 inch Golden Voice (I think) woofer and a six and 4 inch tweeter. It's a biamp system, using two 6V6 as the bass driver, and a single end 6BQ5 for left and right.

6V6GTA is a well liked and used tube---Hi Fi,"G"fiddle amps,oscillators in Gates AM transmitters-and have seen them as vert output tubes in TV's.For what those Motorolas were-their bass response was really good-The one a freind had you could play bass heavy music thru the console and the bass was well reproduced.-and even when played loud-didn't cause feedback thru the TT.Well engineered Hi Fi console.The 6V6 was used a lot in Magnavox Hi-Fi's,too.esp the Biamp in their Concert Grand tubed consoles.1 pair of 6V6 fed the tweeter horn-double pair fed a 15" woofer.Both the woofers and tweeters from those Magnavox Hi-fis are sought out by "G" fiddle amp folks.esp for Leslie speaker systems.

Very nice-too bad it isn't near me-from the outlines on the speaker grill cloth-the set appears to have the large woofers and horn tweeters.Too bad they didn't give the money shot of the back of the unit with the cover removed.Want to see the power amps.Good shot of the control panel of the tuner-preamp.TT looks in good shape.

I suppose this is European and may be no bargain at $350, but it appears to be in very good shape provided the cabinet style is your "thing." Nice vintage Garrard changer and an interesting control panel. The piano hinge is a good sign of a well-constructed cabinet. "Diffusonic" speaker system?

Betcha can't guess

Q: In what vintage television series did the above Motorola tv/phono combo appear?

A: The Patty Duke Show, Season 3 (1965-66).

If someone has the third year on DVD please check this and let me know if I am correct, I am runnig on memory only. It looks like the identical unit with a slightly different finish.

There are are several episodes where Patty is seen putting records on it.

In the first two years, Patty always used a portable stereo. When the show moved from New York to California for production, the third year, the Lane family got a new house and all new, and much nicer, furniture. No explanation given in any of the episodes. ( I guess Popo got a raise. ) For years I wondered what brand the tv/phono combo was.

So--thank you Louie!!

BTW: Can anyone identify the built-in oven in Natalie's kitchen, season three?? The first two seasons I think the wall oven might be GE, but not sure. The third season, I can't tell but its a much more modern looking and attractive oven. In the third year Natalie also has a 1965 General Electric two slice toaster on the counter.

Poor Natalie never had a dishwasher in any of the seasons. Popo certainly should have made enough money as Managing Editor of the New York Daily Chronicle to warrant a DW. I guess with Patty, Cathy and Ross available for child labor, they didn't need one. lol

The Lanes didn't have a garbage disposal either. (In season 3, episode 1 we see Patty and Frankie Avalon working on a leak under the sink--no disposer.) Poor Lane family, no dw and no disposer. Even Lucy had a disposal, and that was 1951. Also. Near the end of this same episode it also shows Patty using the console tv/phono as she and Richard dance to a Frankie Avalon album.

wow

You find the coolest things, Phil. You put the rest of us to shame. :)

It's rare to find a roundie nowadays, but to find a roundie combo is phenominal, especially with an affordable price. the seller is a little off on the date, that is an early sixties model color TV. I would guess by the record changer and cabinet style that it is approximately a 1962 model.

It was fun having a roundie picture tube in those days because everyone knew you had a color tv because of the shape of the tube.

Thanks for all your hard work scouring Craigslist for vintage finds!

Thanks to the hobbyists and enthusiasts like you Barry, the searching educates me on what's out there, plus you and others are a wealth of knowledge. I don't know what I'm turning up, of course, when someone says I turn up some unusual things. I remember seeing my first color tv through the large pane glass picture window that the builder/neighbor bought(the first on our street to own one). It could have been a roundie, not sure, but the NBC Peacock seen for the first time will never look brighter and more exciting. Thanks again, there are plenty of interesting postings beyond mine-and beautiful vintage appliances that you and others have found. Is this site addicting at times? Does the sun set in the West? :-) Thanks for the thanks!

That Ampex console...

firedome's profile picture
is worth the asking price. They are very nice units with true Hi-Fi components in them and very expensive in their day also. The company's President, Alexander Poniatoff, personally signed the owner's manual of each unit. We have the Model 402 preamp shown there, out of one of these consoles (bought that way on eBay), as part of one of our vintage stereo systems, and like it very much. The dual mono power amps came in 2 versions, one with rare 6973 output tubes, the other with 7591 tubes I believe. Their tape decks were superb, the company was early on funded by Bing Crosby to make decks using German Magnetophon technology from WWII.

Apex Hi-fi gear-agreed-among the best.Funny how the seller of the Ampex set didn't show the TT or tape machine.
6973 tubes were used in other applications besides Hi-Fi gear-used in test equipment-audio-RF generators-used as an output tube in these.Seen 6973s as video premodulators in older TV transmitters.Also see them in older tubed mixer consoles-as line driver amps and monitor amps.Another workhorse tube!7591 was another Hi-fi workhorse-and they appear in some Fender Guitar amps.I ahve worked on many an Ampex RR tape machines-these were workhorses in the broadcast industry-any station had at least two!Favorite studio and production machines-Recording studios today--still use older Ampex 300-design based on Magnetophon machines.Have one in my collection-with the orig tubed Rec/Pb amp.The Gov't broadcast agency I work for had like 400 Ampex 300-and several Ampex 3200 Hi speed dubber systems.Worked on those,too.The agency ordered later Acurrate Sound Hi Speed dubbers-they were JUNK compared to the Ampexes!

The seller did include pics of the tape recorder and the record changer. I was just too lazy to include them. Like everything else of interest on here, there are experts on the subject everywhere.

At $9,000 I hope they didn't leave this in the driveway for long. At least the speaker spheres don't look like someone played basketball with them. Is the Dual turntable original for this? Ask them to throw in Miss Canada's gown and evening gloves.

Well, there's something I haven't seen or thought about since the 80's. That was my Grandfather's "media center" (before they call them that). I'm pretty sure it was a TV-stereo combination, but by the time my grandfather passed and we got the cabinet, the TV must have failed because we kept linens in it.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane... the only thing it needs is 15 ceramic dogs on the top and a thin veneer of nicotine.

Good to see the money shots of the tape machine and TT in the Ampex Hi-Fi-strange can't identify either one.The Ampex tape machine does not look familiar to me.Must have been a model designed for those Hi-fi consoles.The TT looks like it has single play and multiple play spindles-and its at "ankle" level-Great for "Q"ing records and loading-unloading them.And good for collecting floor dust on the TT and your records.
Remember seeing a Clairtone Hi-Fi console in the Hi-Fi shop in downtown Wash DC during the 60's didn't get to listen to it.The sphere speakers were to give omidirectional sound so it would seem.Would be interesting to listen to one of those Hi-fis-but at 9 grand will pass.Will just have to wonder how it would sound.Thought these had Garrard or Dual TT's-depending on the model.

Ampex deck

Rex, I think theses were the typical Ampex decks produced in the late fifties/early sixties. The decks you and I remember, with the center controls in the cover over the capstain drive, I think came out about mid-sixties.

I have a 1967 Allied Electronics catalogue, which by this time had the newer style Ampex decks in in.

The first picture is the older A style like in the console. The second picture is I think what you and I are remember, the 600 series. I drooled over those decks in the late sixties.

Some years ago, one of my students who was an audiophile gave me one of those decks. It didn't work. He couldn't fix it. So he gave it to me. I knew I was in trouble because he was a wiz at things like that. I couldn't get it to work either, even after purchasing the repair manual for it.

I think Ampex built the most overdesigned complex deck I have ever seen. The outside of the 600 series was clean and simple. The inside was a nightmare, and it weighed a ton. No wonder they cost so much. But it was built solid with a lot of quality.

I ended up pitching the unit as I just got so frustrated trying to fix it, as I couldn't find repair parts for it anywhere. Wish I had kept it now, if nothing more than just to have it on display. It was the higher end self threading unit.

twintubdexter,

The Magnavox cabinet (Danish Modern) is missing the TV, it's probably a 25 inch.

For the "Basketball" stereo, (Sorry, too lazy to look up the brand) Dual is the correct tt for it.

I HAVE THE SAME MAGNAVOX AS #61.....

newvista58's profile picture
But mine is Black Laquer. The information
I've found on it states is is a 1959 and cost
$650 New. I even have a Magnavox Demo Record.

I love their Consoles. Probably one of my favorite.

I love that Blonde Zenith Cobra Console in #62. I
have one very similar in Cherry Mahogany. I wished
this was closer. I'd ask to trade LOL. Blonde is
the color of all my furniture, with the exception of
a few consoles. Got to love the Cobra Head. It is
a most sought after turntable. This one, believe it
or not has a "stroboscope".

The RCA in #63 is Cool, but I'm not into the oriental
decor. I do however have that turntable in a Stand Alone
Base in Crinkle Grey Vinyl with a Cream color top face.
It is Dated 1963. When I ordered a New Cartridge, Needles
and an Idler, the Phono Guy said he never saw a stand alone
come from the factory, like mine. It's a Most Excellent
Turntable.

Great Finds Guys. Keep 'em coming :)

Best Washes,

Louis

The Ampex 600 decks-these were the ONLY single motor RR decks that were used professionally.Staples in radio stations-often used for remote and feild work.Older versions had a tubed Rec/Pb amp-later ones solid state.These were mechanical monsters to work on-the mechanics needed to have one motor do the work of three.You had to deal with belts,levers,linkages and rubber friction roller-wheels.Fixed a couple of these-at one time Ampex sold a service kit for these machines.I kinda miss these-couldn't recognize the machine in the console as a 600.The ones I see are the "business" simple like ones used in the radio stations.they were rack mount or packaged in the portable "feild" cases.The older units had the tubed amp in a separate case from the deck.also Ampex made a monitor speaker that you could play the machine thru-was a case with a 10" Speaker and a push-pull 6V6 tube amp.The professional and commercvial 600 machines didn't have speakers in them.

Very nice Magnavox Hi-Fi with the TV in its belly.Really cool Asian style RCA Hi-fi console.
Zenith Cobramatic TT's Remember one in a console that did have lighted eyes.The TT drive didn't work-was at a freinds house-he worked on Hi-Fis and TVs,too.He was showing me the Zenith Cobramatic TT in the console that would not turn.The unit was variable speed-motor was mounted horizontal under the TT motorboard and had a conelike drive shaft.The TT idler drive tire was broke and worn out.the man also worked on slot cars-a solution-a slot car racing slick tire fit the idler drive perfectly-then before you know it we were playing records on that Zenith TT and varying the speed making them sound funny.The lights in that machines arm were very tiny grain of wheat bulbs like what you see in older electric train lighting.Oh yes,the Zenith TT did have a stroboscope.Worked quite well-and agreed with a TT speed test card.

post #63

Late 60's RCA, solid state, around 30 watts. The speakers were an oddball size, I want to say 12 x 6 for the bass, three way system.

Ran into quite a few of those with bad power supplies, they seem to be a weak point.

Ampex

If anything, Ampex products were overengineered. I often wondered why they didn't go to a three motor system in their consumer decks, I guess they had their reasons. My TEAC deck has 3 motors and is MUCH simpler in design and easy to maintain/repair.

My cousin, who was the co-founder/owner of Telarc Records in Cleveland, wouldn't use Ampex equipment. Being a fan of Ampex I asked him why and he just said, "They ceased to be competitive." Just as a bit of trivia, his company was one of the first, if not the first to use digital recording and editing of music. He gave me copies of their first two digital recorded albums that they produced. They are on vinyl as they were recorded in 1978 and CD's didn't exist back then.

Very clean recordings he used absolutely no filtering, limiting compression or equalization during recording.


Unfortunately, his company ceased to be competitive as well and he sold it to Concord Music about eight or nine years ago. People just were no longer buying classical music, which was Telarc's forte. He did produce a few other things like a recording of science fiction theme songs and I know he record Lisa Minnelli at least once. But primarily it was classical stuff and it just wasn't selling.

But he did win many Grammy's as producer (I think he and his company have a total of 40 Grammy wins/nominations) and Telarc was a force to be reckoned with in the classical music community.

He never quite agreed with me on my assertion that analog recordings on vinyl with tube audio playback have superior sound and we used to have some discussion. Of course, I don't own any Grammy awards (and well deserved) like he does, so I guess my opinion has a little less validity. lol

Yes,agree on the maintenance of three motor RR tape machines.Indeed simpler.Except Studer A810 machines---HORRIBLE-just to control 3 motors they have circuity that could be practically used to launch a Saturn rocket to the moon!!Ampex and Skully simply had switches and relays.Much simpler to deal with.I have some early Telarc recordings,too.VERY good-better then most CD's and other records.The problem with the music recording industry is TOO MUCH processing and mixdowns-esp on CRAPPY consoles.Some pop recordings sound WORSE than AM airplay!!!Gave up on that.I agree with you-beleive in analog recordings and tubed amps.Doesn't matter if you have an award or not you can still appreciate it.Remember a recording companies and recordist job is to preserve music recordings for future listeners-You or I would not want to have music processed and mixed to death-sounding just as bad as a cheap AM radio out of tune.Telarc did a GREAT job on their recordings-so future folks can appreciate the music they recorded.
Ampex was overengineered thats how they wanted it.And that is why we see 200,300,350,600 and 3200 machines still able to work today-even with their ORIGINAL tubed electronics!And their VTR machines can still work,today as well.Have great respect for their equipment.But to build equipment to Ampex standards today-no one could afford it except the really very rich.
Nice RCA console Hi-Fi in the link!Knoxville one.

nice RCA but newer than stated

The seller is off a bit on his date of the unit. It is solid state and has the newer style changer. But it was produced before they started adding eight tracks. So my guess is late sixties to very early 70's. Also has plastic simulated wood trim which was becoming popular with manufacturers in the later sixties to cut down cabinetry cost.

This unit is a pleasant reminder of the days when electronics were designed to be asethically complimentary to your other home furnishings. Thanks for posting this Phil.

Yea, Plastique molding--tends to vibrate badly when you turn the volume and bass up-almost sounds like one those boom cars when they have the subwoofer turned up too much.

We had a Colortrak growing up. That TV was fantastic. My parents got it in 1984; I took it with me when I moved to CT and it lasted until 2004 when a lightning storm took it out. The Toshiba that replaced it is still going strong at the moment.

Phil, our Colortrak was a great TV.  We had to have it repaired in '86 because my dad dropped it; that TV was immensely heavy but was well built.  It was working fine until the lightning storm did it in.  If our apartment had been a modern one (and not a multi-family built in 1875 with questionable wiring) it might have survived.  That place killed so many of my audio and video equipment!

That's a shame,about the wiring firing your electronics. You didn't have protection, using a power-strip with the insurance up to enough to cover your costs? I know, they're as expensive as the equipment, at times.

Yikes! $1500 or thereabouts...and to think they could be found a few years ago for very little money. Finding one where the speakers don't show through the fabric was very difficult.

..is what they're looking for, a price closest to what they saw on eBay. Each CG is different, and without an upfront and personal experience, an eBay comparison is dreaming.

Too bad not near me-for that your dollar goes a long way-beautiful peice of Hi-Fi gear even if the speakers show thru the grill covers.My Mom had one made after this one.Sadly some of these are victims of the "breakers" they gut the unit and sell the components-Guitarists love the bass speakers.The amps go to Hi-fi guys.It is an excellent power Bi-amp.

Stromberg Carlson Classic Radio/Phono

twintubdexter's profile picture
I have seen 3 or 4 of these Stromberg Carlson "Oriental" cabinets but only as televisions. A couple of them had been gutted and converted into liquor cabinets. This is the first radio/phono model I've seen. The top on this is damaged but since it's black lacquer refinishing it doesn't seem like a major project. Having the receiver section repaired and rebuilt would be worth the expense. Fortunately the record changer is the 78 rpm original and most likely fixable too. This would make an enjoyable project after which you would have a very nice piece. On ebay, $50 opening bid. In Arcadia which is not that far from me, but with a half-dozen "projects" still waiting for my attention I'll pass.

I'm not too sure if members still look at this topic...

I'm always looking, LOL! I just can't buy unless I move into a huge loft or warehouse. :-)
That oriental cabinet is elaborate - not exactly my style but if finished, nice conversation piece.
