Mac preap... and a Scott tuner.



I mean... if I were that guy (and, given the era, pretty sure it was a guy's), I would've sprung for a 4310, wouldn't you?



In fairness, I think that is a Scott 310E tuna in that installation -- which was/is a pretty darned good component. One of the northern New England gurus has one that he brought over here once. I've gotta say, it is the single best sounding tuner I've heard with my own ears (although I think that his 310E has been tweaked a bit).

I didnt' even look at the tt!



At a quick glance, it's not ringing a bell (even as an Empire). You may well be right!

Speaking of Empires (and, of course, other tts so equipped) -- I love those dynamically balanced arms. You know, if one ever gets a shot at going to the International Space Station... and if one just doesn't want to leave analog behind.

EDIT: Derp. It says right in the text that it's an R-O-K.


That conical arm rest reminds me of early 1960s Rek-O-Kuts... but nothing else about that tt really does. The arm isn't makin' me think "Audio Empire" -- although the deck itself has something of the Empire look about it, for sure.




EDIT^2: PS, with those two Crown decks on top, that roll-around looks a wee bit top-heavy, don't you think?

A Thorens record changer.

I'll see your Thorens changer & raise you a Fisher/Lincoln!




There are YT videos of both the Thorens and the Lincoln in operation -- a sight to behold.

I see your Fisher-Lincoln turn-over:




and raise you an apple turn-over:

A good friend had a 1974 Buick Apollo with a 350 V-8, red with a white interior. It
was a little more upscale trim-wise, but a Nova chassis,... none the less.
It was a good college car for him. He liked it.
