a run on console stereos ??
William W Western wrote: both buyers were restoring them ! Some of the older pre-sixties stuff I could see. The cases were often of nice wood with nice finish. Especially something in danish modern. But the innards would be pretty lo-fi. By the time the systems in most consoles were becoming merely adequate sound-wise, the cases were particle board with wood simulated mactac coverings. These had heavy real wood cabinets. Very nice looking. One was tube amped, with a combo push-pull and single ended amp setup inside. The PP amp drove a huge center channel speaker. The SE section drove the left/right stereo channels. A rare bird. That was a Motorola. The other was that nice Zenith I got from the original owner. Solid state but someone in your neck of the woods made a 9 hour round trip to get it, in a minivan. Took it back to Canada. |

My wife sells antiques as part of a co-op antique warehouse. I do not think they have much call for the 60s stuff unless it is that space agey, chrome stuff. Anything in blonde Danish modern is good as well. Also portable turntables are showing some strength. I have flogged a few 8 track portables at her place for about what they go for on E-bay. |

As you know, the key to selling used stuff is to be ahead of the rest and mine people's sense of nostalgia. Before others realize the trend and flood the market. The consoles have certainly been gone long enough to evoke a sense of some bygone day. Also kitschy enough to fill that oddball need. They just take up so much living space which is a knock against them both in using up retail floor space and the small apartments of the youth market looking to find some offbeat item. |
