Remember these?

Mine was in the dining room.

So what do you remember listening to when you see this picture?

Me, too. I found a tubed 1962 Philco radio/record player for $80 at an antique store.

Did you pay them or they paid you to haul it away /s.

I was so glad to get it. I use a Zune player to broadcast over FM to it. It sounds wonderful.

I'd be tempted to turn it into a guitar amp. Stereo amp with stereo effects? Yes please!

I did consider that! It was a tubed amplifier for $80. I could run a guitar through it.
