    My 1927 Victrola 10-50 acoustic orthophonic phonograph. First consumer automatic record changer. Electricity is only used to run the platter and changer - sound is reproduced all mechanically thru the huge wooden horn on right side. I restored the reproducer and changer to working order with a few new parts. 300 lbs of mahogany and heavy metal. Okay so it's not stereo but in its day it was definitely a high-end sound system.

    Quoted from Methos:

    Assume that just plays 78's?

    Yes, and they need to be the older hard kind. They began making some vinyl 78s in the 1950s and an acoustic reproducer will chew them to pieces in very short order.

    Another of my hobbies is repairing/restoring vintage transistor radios, here’s my ‘68 Hitachi small portable am/fm stereo w/hinged detachable speakers. 17 transistors, runs on four C batteries or ac adapter. You could attach and fold the speakers back and latch them and carry it on your shoulder, a very early ‘boombox’. I’m going to put it on my headboard shelf. The stereo FM sounds great. The AM half of the tuner cap is shot to hell but I already have dozens of AM-only radios anyway. Vintage stereo on a smaller scale.

    I finished cleaning/recapping the chassis of this old '63 Emerson AM/FM 10-tube stereo and replaced the worn speaker cord and a couple of weak/broken tubes. The main power electrolytics are still good. Two speakers in each cabinet. I'm getting an RCA cord adapter so I can run a portable CD player into the phono inputs in back too. Sounds pretty good!
