Mark that bottom piece turns up & in - once you remove the tape. I have different players & some look more attractive "in the Yamaha line" but i like this one. There are so many gorgeous ones out there. I think this model blended in with the integrated amplifiers A model "iirc" you may know more than i..

Like the Pioneer CT-F1000, I reckon? There was a Sansui like that, too -- some other models from other mfgrs over the years, too.

CT-F900 also.

The Yamaha looks like a nice deck.
What is this growing up of which you speak?When I grow up I want to be like @boston1450 or @mhardy6647. No, I'm serious.

I recently sold these Marantz HD-880's that needed some TLC for $25 to a nice budding 'phile, in the spirit of Christmas!! He's only 22 and plans to bring them back to as new. These bad boys really do sound extremely nice!
The guy in the pic is my best buddy from phoenix audio forums and my dog Katie Girl, got some sellers remorse on these, doubt I'll see another pair...

As long as you have access to Ken Swauger, you really don't "need" this thread!

Wonder how 'Ugly Custard' sounds on this?

1. ummm, it looks like fun. I saw the "t" word in there, though -- soiled state.
2. Yes, Pumpkinman, it is a true fact. We spun you around a few times, blindfolded, so that you could not disclose the actual spatial location, however.

SDS 400's in the house! (with makeshift interconnect)
-
well, that Pioneer's a golden oldie!
Nice furniture, too (the chest or desk or dresser to the right, under the speaker).

funny thing. I swear the vanity acts like a bass extender!

Room treatments come in many forms.

I think (??) it is an SX-9000; if so, then, yes, it does:
At or near the top of its line, early 1970s

SX-9000 circa 1969. yes it does, but it is a little scratchy if you turn it up. A little dab of reverb will do ya anyway. Everything else works great!
-
Yep, SX-9000.

back when Radio Shack had real gear and not phones and RC cars.... The old Radio Shack Super Tweeters sold for 10.00 each I see them all the time selling for 100.00-150.00 each now.

for anyone who (still) might not know of these two sites, but who might also pine for the days when Allied Radio & Radio Shack (yes) sold McIntosh & Marantz, here's something to do for the next few days

I thought this was cool. 1940's style and technology. -
Hey, if it weren't for that "1940s technology" -- we might not now be writing and speaking English, if you catch my drift
ahem -- sorry.
Now, where was I?
Oh, yeah.
This is a serious hodgepodge, but, on the average, vintage enough, I think, to qualify for posting here

Altec 802D 1" compression driver, a "bored out" JBL 1" to 2" throat adaptor, a 2" Community 90 x 60 degree horn (model may, or may not, be BRH-90), topped off with a somewhat-less-vintage Fostex T90A horn 'supertweeter' (and padded, first order XO).
half of a stereo pair.
fun, fun,fun.

A superb tuner is the S-2000 (AM & FM both).
I wouldn't worry too much about leaving it on if the P/S electrolytics have been replaced. If they have -- yeah, I wouldn't leave home with it turned on.
