I vaguely rem3ember someone here mentioning they had seen or possessed one of theese. A Nutone Inter-Com with record player. This is in a house for sale that's in the back of the subdivision where I grew up. House built in 1961.
Anyone ever seen on of these?

Wowee! I've seen the intercom a couple of times, even the model with the AM/FM radio, but never one with the record player. Too cool!!
Phil needs one of these to complete his new mid-century digs!!

I answered my own question by googling.. it's a tape deck
I dare someone to try to use that turntable in a house with my Sub lol
I had an uncle that had a whole home intercom that was likely a Nutone

I've seen later versions with the phono and tape player at Homearama. The first show I was to was in '68. Since NuTone was based in Cincinnati, nearly all the homes featured their products.
Was that actually a "resting" position the tone arm is supposed to be in, or am I right in cringing just thinking what the needle will do to the next records after being subjected to such "care"?
If I remember right, record players in my youth needed to have the tone arm locked on a resting post before being moved about to avoid needle damage.

OMG I want one of these so bad!

That's a very strange window set up in the background. A Huge double hung window to the floor ?
Never saw that ever.

wonder...
if that window replaced a door?
Cool nutone, but as mentioned not the best way of mounting a turntable.
Rather have a MCM console from the tube era.

Yes,
I've seen a few.
It seems in Texas, even windows are bigger. LoL.
That window would not be winter time friendly in the north east, nor anywhere it rains a lot. In fact, my guess, is it is against most building codes in those states.

These look familiar - think I've seen the top two units in a CL search once, but never the tape deck or TT(personally, I find that humorous, the way it hangs out.

My Aunt and Uncle had one of the intercom/radios in their house that was built in the mid-60s. I have never see one of the hanging turntables before though.
My aunt in Poughkeepsie had one in their house, not the tt or tape deck though. I was fascinated by it when I was a kid and of course bugged my folks to get us one , to no avail obviously LOL.
When we were house hunting here there were a few homes we visited that had them,, sadly not this one we bought and it would be useful being a 4 level split

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">If you're a "built-in nut" like me you have to think that thing is so very cool. I could have an authentic Early American house with a Betsy Ross Signature Kitchen and I'd still want one of those.</span>

Seen Before
A friend in Pittsburgh had this setup. He also had the countertop setup from Nutone that incorporated the blender, mixer, etc. I keep all my countertop appliances stashed in the garage, covered, for lack of room in my galley kitchen. Funny, the only thing I use regularly is my 1940s toaster. Almost every day!

Normally these would be mounted flush with the wall so it's a little strange to see them mounted like this. If you didn't care for a tape player, Nutone made a record storage unit that looked just like the turntable when closed.
Cool! Have never seen a set-up like that. Any of our resident phono experts know who made the record changer for Nutone?
