Anything Dean Martin. My granny loved him and I must confess as I get older I really appreciate these old guys who are no longer here. What a great time it was back then.

Well -- the thing about ol' Deano. He made it all look so, so easy. He perfected his shtick. His variety show in the sixties was great (or, at least in my memory, it was). Dean, cocktail (martini?) in one hand, cigarette in the other, and a glassy-eyed gaze -- nailing it, every time.
Those guys had style.

Here's Frank threading up a Christmas music tape on his Presto deck.

Note: This is a different "ask" than the thread title ("Favorite Christmas Song/Artist")If you could only hear one Christmas song this year, what would it and who would be the artist? ...
Only one?
A really, really hard choice -- but, if really only one.

sorry.
I guess I just assumed everyone would want to listen to their favorite rendition of their favorite song. Guess I was mistaken.
Lots of good songs here regardless.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -

And, studio ready to play back the three-track tapes.
Gotta love the Fisher tuner and Mac preamp in that built-in system, too.
There are myriad great photos of Frank and his hifi(s) at home(s).

I wonder what those three chassis are underneath the Fisher tuner, amplifiers probably. The speakers look custom made.

Nancy Sinatra auctioned off some of her dad’s stuff recently, and I believe some of that gear was among the items sold...The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

I would speculate the large drawer with the center pull knob, above those three chassis, there might be a turntable? -

Yeah, me, too.
I thought some kind of signal processing, but... I dunno.

First of all, sorry to derail the original theme of this thread. Sometimes one subject inspires a branching interest. It seems the three units under the tuner are power supplies for the three Presto tape electronics. Placing as far away from the other components was a good idea and there seems to be ventilation openings below.

I see your posts as a friendly amendment, @KennethSwauger (not that I am the OP).
Maybe Ava or whichever wife was present at the time got them for Ol' Blue Eyes for Christmas; who knows?
And, although none of his are my favorite-est of all, Frank did some marvelous treatments of both sacred & secular Christmas songs on (at least) Christmas Dreaming and A Jolly Christmas [from...].

I think my favorite Christmas album is:
