About the Item
“If art decorates space… and music is the art that decorates time, then our vintage stereo consoles decorate lives by accentuating both.”
This console:
This is a console refurbished by us. We acquire our pieces from very reliable, established, and trustworthy sources.
We offer them in various configurations and also offer a multitude of customizations during or after the sale here. We are the epitome of the vintage bespoke restoration reseller.
This particular piece is an amazing piece of music history. It is really the first full console for home recording, that would record and cut live music or voice recording onto records in real time. Specially lacquer coatings were etched by the recording arm, and then played back on the tone arm.
This console costs more than cars back in the day.
We restored the look and feel of this, but have the music powered by a new amplifier that basically turns this into a very cool bluetooth speaker. It plays loud and robust, and a turntable can be put on top to play records as an option, or we can integrate this to play Sonos if you have that.
So, for now, its the coolest bluetooth speaker on the planet, with the whole story telling part of how home recordings were done in the 40's and 50's.
How cool is that?
About our Consoles…
We have a long tradition of exceeding customer expectations. And recently to the delight of Paramount Pictures by supplying them with 2 stereo consoles to their IF (Imaginary Friends) movie starring Ryan Reynolds. We also recently shipped a very prestigious console to the MOMA (museum of modern art) for display and reproduction use. Quality runs deep and this craftsmanship shows in every piece we sell. We take great pride in delivering the same excellence to well known customers and institutions and the normal populace like you and me.
Hard to believe that in such a short 4 years time, we have acquired, refurbished, rebuilt and delivered almost 800 stereo consoles now. They're not the best because they are the biggest, they are the biggest because they are the best.
IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION.
Shipping these expensive and fragile stereo consoles is a difficult task. We have shipped over 800 of our consoles over the past 4 years and we don’t take this lightly. They ship from Madison WI and we do have various shippers. Many times we can add your delivery to an existing shipping route and save you money. Inquire for such option, and if that is the case we will guide you how to purchase and what shipping option to click. Thanks!
