More stuff from my friends vintage vinyl shop.
1. Sansui quad amp and turntable; mid 70's I guess
2. 4 channel Akai reel to reel; same era as above.
3. Vintage reel to reel; forgot to ask about manufacturer and date. Late 40's-early 50's is my guess.
4. Phonola stereo, I think it's cool looking. Early 60's(?)
Awesome!!
Thomas.
Thanks Thomas. You probably remember the quad era. That amp, turntable and reel to reel would have been top of the line. I remember the first Akai reel to reel with JBL speakers I heard in the early 70's. The sound quality blew me away!
I was huge into Audio equipment back then. I still want a Pioneer SX1250 receiver.
Apache, I loved and still love audio stuff. There's classics I wish I could own. Nice audio set ups were out of my price range back then. But I saw some sweet ones back in the day. An Akai reel to reel with JBL speakers I listened changed what I thought was good audio. The difference in the clarity and quality of sound compared to what I was use to was staggering, I'm not exagerating. To have a quad set up like this was waaay out of my range back them.
Looks like what my late husband had set up in the garage back in the day. Got home from work, didn’t come in the house went straight to the garage for beer and tunes...
Very nice set- up. These vintage pieces are getting harder to come by as my son is trying to go retro. Still mad that I gave away his Father’s receiver. Bad Mom...
MsCrystal, sounds like a neat mancave. You are correct about the scarcity of vintage audio. It's extra hard to find them in good shape and functioning properly.
Yes I love those machines were the tape always get stuck and tangled :)!! Really nice and brings back memories.
