Other Weird Stereos- Hutch Models

I'd be willing to bet

that JVC was indeed brought back by a serviceman. Never seen one one the USA. I'd love to know the tube complement and circuit design of that one. The Japanese tubes of that era are highly under-rated compared to the Amerex Bugle Boys and other Euro tubes and vintage US RCAs etc, but they are actualy very good and desirable tubes: Matsushita, Toshiba and others. Often vintage tubes are worth more than what they came in these days.

Yes,I would like to learn more about the JVC system shown.Japanese systems like that are indeed rare in the US.One of my electronics instructors at the University of South Dakota At Springfeild,SD brought his Trio console to show-didn't see much of it.Was a small unit-at first glance-looked like a small Grundig.Didn't see what tubes it used.At one time-in the 70's Hatachi and Toshiba were importing FM and TV transmitters into the US.they were retrofitted to use US transmitting tube types.Never seen them-just ads in the broadcasting trade magazines on them.

about JVC...

My grandfather bought a JVC color TV in 1966. My uncle still had it in the early nineties.

I went looking online and did find half of my unit on wortpoint. I guess it was for sale in 2011. I don't have a membership, does anyone else?

GE Danish Modern End Tables on Ebay,

 

Pardon Our Interruption...

 

[retropia]

Those GE end table stereo units look nice. Walnut? The price is a bit eye-watering, especially since the auction doesn't say whether or not it works.

 

[twintubdexter]

certainly not weird...

...but very nice, NUTONE wall mounted stereo currently on ebay...$700 BIN price is wishful thinking.

 

[petek]

Both very nice to dream about having

 

[whirlcool]

I didn't see a turntable with the GE Danish end table models. There is a switch for it on the amp, but I don't see it in the table. The other table contains record storage.

Scroll down on the right of the pictures , the tt is pictured. (I think the
set is solid state crap; but that's just me...)

 

[whirlcool]

OK, I see it now, thanks for telling me where to find it.

One of our neighbors had a GE Danish moderne stereo that had the same turntable and a very similar amp in it. They bought it in 1965. I remember the "Tonal 1" tonearm. The amp radio scale went horizontal and the selector switches were below that. It sounded ok but not as good as the Zenith danish stereo with the movable flaps over the speakers that we had. The GE sounded a little tinny in comparison.

Magnavox Continental in Charlotte, NC

On eBay, with a decent opening bid. I didn't want to start up another thread, hoping somehow Tolivac could swing something with this. Has an early American looking base on an otherwise atomic looking cabinet. Dated from 1957-58.

Pardon Our Interruption...

Very nice Magnavox mono hi-fi-indeed it has a "Bi-amp" power amp behind the speakers-the woofer and a horn tweeter.1958 was sort of a year when stereo was being introduced.so owners of mono systems had to see wether the mono one could be converted-or would they have to buy a whole new stereo system.I HATE EBay-and getting it to me?But the unit is very nice-and in good shape.Its like the situation here for Speed Queen washers---NO dealers for them around-closest is Charlotte,NC.

 

[112561]

I can't blame you, but I wanted you to get some consideration for the set. And there's still Craigslist, no matter how futile that seems.

 

[tolivac]

Thank you for bringing it up-it is a very nice one.Its the "logistical" issues--trying to buy it thru EBay-then getting it to me.As you would know Magnavox Hi-fi consoles are HEAVY and DELICATE-so getting it to me and and unloading are the issues.As you would say--there has to be a Magnavox Hi-fi lurking about close to me somewhere.The price on the unit is good.Seeking out a tubed one is quite a hunt.

 

[firedome]

That Nutone and the GE set

clearly are both SS units, making then considerably less valuable, but not necessarily less desireable, for those seeking that look anyway. Nutone was mainly an intercom mfr, so likey less than stellar sound-wise, compared to better consoles at least.
