MaximumRD Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Was not sure how to describe it in title but see the image: As a little kid, we had something very similar living in Toronto Ontario Canada on Booth Ave, minus the reel-to-reel. 😎😝Of course even as a little kid eventually I turned it over only to see all the tech slotted in with the components and wires hanging about exposed, a mostly hollow cabinet of particle board covered in faux woodgrain. Still very nostalgic.

RickR Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 YES! We had one in my family too. Ours was a Zenith, and it had a turntable and AM/FM radio only. Also a built in bin to hold records. The speakers had little shutter doors that I remember playing with a lot as kid. I'll try to find a picture of it later. When I had to sell off my parents' estate, I thought very long and hard about keeping that unit. Maybe taking the old broken guts out and putting in a modern bluetooth setup. But in the end, I decided no. We just don't have room for something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Oh! Sorry for all the separate replies, but I also have this picture of the identical unit that I found on Facebook marketplace a few years ago. I wasn't looking to buy or anything, but it came up in my feed and I immediately knew it was the identical unit. I wondered if they had bought it at our estate sale, so I contacted the seller, but they didn't. Identical! sramirez2008 and Smell Dawg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sramirez2008 Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 My aunt/uncle had a Zenith console. It had a stereo and a tv in the middle. I was ~6/7 years ago. I always thought that thing one cool piece of furniture. RickR, Smell Dawg and MaximumRD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRay Defender Posted November 9 Report Share Posted November 9 Someone donated a small one to me a year or so ago. It had a few 8-tracks, which still play. I haven't tried the turn table yet... 🙂 sramirez2008, RickR, MaximumRD and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
