I spotted this beauty and thought I would share. Good price, and should make someone a great stereo.

Is that a three-channel stereo?

That's a nice looking unit!

I'd say that with that big woofer in the middle that it is a 3 channel. Nice price.

That's half the price I paid for mine

Picard, What model it this thing? I'm curious what amp it has.

Thanks, Bill

I recall that and did NOT comment. That was before I got a small and middle version of your large "VCR series" 3-channel with living stereo AM-FM. I paid $75 for the larger one, 30 for the smaller. Both are dirty but complete.

Have you worked on yours? I have not, but am looking forward to working on my three tube RCA consoles as we go into dark season

One of mine has the reverb amp and it appears this one might, under the stereo balance knob..

Your amp has a three PP channels

while both mine use and RS189c three channel singe ended chassis.

Bill, That looks like a steal , how far is it from you?

Picard, thank you for the repost.

Dave, about 3 hours. Right now I do not have time to go after it. I'll keep an eye on it and maybe in a few weeks, if it's still there, I'll make the trip.

I was told it didn't work so I just stuck it on a shelf and never touched it. I don't like that style too much but it was so clean I couldn't pass it up . I think I paid $125

It's not my favorite cabinet either. I believe the guts are the same as Larry Hillis three channel with the rocket looking speakers. I think his model is PC16. I could be wrong on that.

First, I was wrong Larry's Model is PS16. Sorry!

Second, it followed me home.

The link I posted earlier for the Craig's list ad is now in my garage waiting it's Saturday bath.
