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.

Toledo area - Joe, this is still an Imperial and maybe not cheap, but less than some CL sellers think their stuff is worth.

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

ad: " This is a vintage General Electric 1949 television set. The glass is completely intact and the cabinet is in good shape. The nobs and dials seam to function, but I have no idea if the set actually works as the cord is missing."

Tasteful Danish Modern with quality innards. Perhaps needs recapping and sprucing up but worth the cost and effort. $200 is appropriate. Glass on top.

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?

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!

Ampex always seems to be pricey. Years ago we would drive by the Ampex factory in Sunnyvale all the time. The sign on the building had sort of a turquoise/blue neon lighting behind the lettering. Los Angeles area/$1200.

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.

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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! |

Jason - heavy? lol! Yeah, my Colortrak 2000 is like that...feels about 60lbs...not sure.
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. |

Motorola must have sold a lot of this cabinet style because I've seen several for sale. This one has "Vibrasonic." My uncle's new 1964 Pontiac Bonneville had that as a factory option labeled "Reverb" on the dash switch. Thought it was such a cool thing. $300 in Heartland/Ann Arbor Michigan.

This is one of the more elaborate fireplace/bar/stereos I've seen. At least if you had it in your home the liquor would be near by. Miami/Dade $475.

If interested, please respond by e-mail and include your local phone number so I know it's not spam. Will make a deal for anyone who wants all three sets. Thanks for looking. " CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK on Tucson Craigslist |

This one is mislabeled a Magnavox. The cabinet looks flawless. I've always liked those Motorola round tuning dials. This one has Vibrasonic too. In Tucson, $350.

Drexel...they made several TOL cabinets for Motorola. They also made cabinets for early Magnavox models. The cabinet on my 1947 Magnavox Windsor is by Drexel.

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. I suppose if someone really wanted one badly enough they'd pay top dollar. Such kilowatt-hungry things these CG's are.

..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.
btw, anyone who might be interested in vintage Magnavox, a new site, born from the frustrations of the Yahoo group software, is here, with a Magnavox sighted area to post latest sightings of different Maggies. That's how I found the CG above. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK |

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... CLICK HERE TO GO TO twintubdexter's LINK on eBay |
