Wow! That is amazing! Way too cool. The house looks pretty cool also. Love that floor...

Isn't the way the turntable oriented in the cabinet kind of strange? It looks turned 90 degrees. I think it would be kind of weird to cue a record with that.
I seem to remember these around 1965-68 or so.

Hi-Fi

Wish I was closer, been wanting a modern floor model for along time, most you see are Early American or Mediterranean. Friends had a Danish Modern Maggie in the 60's, I was jealous!

Very cool indeed!

I guess this was Motorola's followup to the Quasar "Works in a drawer" design; Guts in the lid!

Motorola X-300

What beautiful units these were. The cabinets were made by Drexel, the furniture manufacturer. My parent's had an X-300 (model SK652-BF)that my dad bought for my mom on their 10th anniversary back in 1966 from Chiarelli Brothers in Reading, PA. The turntables were VM and the tonearm was one of the slimmest of it's era. If I recall, these units were 150 watts per channel (hence the 300 in the X-300). I don't believe we could ever get the volume beyond "2". One thing I do remember, the lid was heavy (for a little kid to open). The tuner and preamp in the lid was a novel idea. The power amp (located below the turntable) was all point-to-point wired. Good solid American engineering

If any club member is interested, I think I still have the service manual and owners manual for it.
