I have a hot pic of a tube like that. My pic, Carl's tube on a Hagerman Coronet II I built for him.
The Hagerman Coronet II phono stage I built.
Carl asked for a top front mounted power switch. Wires were foil wrapped and run along the top of case.

oooh... a Cornet :-) very nice phono preamp...
we're doing tube guts now, are we?
let's see what's in the the photo bucket...
all righty... howzabouta TJ/Sophia mesh plate "2A3" (really more of a 300B with a 2.5V filament, as I understand it). Sounds good, kind of disco-looking (huge globe envelope) but it does light up nicely compared to a 'real' 2A3. It looks like they're made from recycled toaster ovens...

I strongly disagree!:cheesygrin: You just got caught up in a.... hot tube pic moment....
Music Hall 25.3 DAC with some mods. Upgraded with a better Fox crystal oscillator (thanks Fred!), Burson HD op amps and Mundorf M-Caps for op amp coupling/tube output, sans bypass caps.
A closeup of the HD's before the Fox crystal was installed.

heh, pretty sure I haven't posted this before... -
Looks like the battery leaked a bit...

That poor ol' girl was rescued from the scrap metal pile at my favorite emporium. Passed it along to a collector who had one that was cosmetically very good but had other issues. He needed an organ donor.

There've been numerous such speakers (many of European origin) over the years. When I saw this particular one (in a Motorola "transistor radio") I thought that the magnet was just... gone. Silly me.
Now I have to find some more guts to post... -
Isn't that a Westinghouse? Made in New Jersey? Can't quite make out the city.
-
Oh, jeepers... now you are testing my memory (and/or my visual acuity). Yes, Westinghouse. Or, as my father the TV repairman called them, "Westinglouse".
-
Looks like it was made in the Westinghouse, Television and Radio division, located in Metuchen, NJ., it is the "charcoal" model and they also made the same unit in a yellow/white version. I like the "Cordless" designation on the front plate, I wonder how many ball games were played on that? Or "Wolfman Jack" programs?
-
In looking further at it, it passed inspection on October 4th, 1963.

that's about when I had my tonsils out...

I was exactly a week away from my 16th birthday.

You guys are old.... :razz: Sorry but someone had to say it.
And at least your sight hasn't gone bad. :cool: -

How about an old Yamaha YP-D10. Arm had adjustable VTA. Sold this to a good friend and miss it. Haven't come across another yet. If the electronics were external, I'd rate it up there with a Technics SP-10MK II. As is, it still bested many newer and older DD tables.

Two comments occasioned by recent posts.
1) I hate working on cassette decks!
2) The Yamaha YP-D10 is a fine looking piece of hardware; lots of gee-gaws and jimcrack under the deck! I do not remember that model at all :-( -
Not sure if I posted this before; did a search and nothing popped. One of Ed's (ESavinon) SRT controllers. Shot years ago when he stopped here on the way back from one of his famous cross country acquisition road trips.:cheesygrin:

Yeah, it was a nice unit. I sold it about a year ago after I got the NAD amp. -
Thanks Rick for the pics. This thread is too cool!!!
