The cabinet is one from a Sylvania SC-740M console stereo that was gutted by one of its previous owners. Presumably, it was a bookshelf at one time because a large portion of the top was missing and Knape & Vogt 255 shelf supports were installed (this becomes important later). The wood finish is pretty dinged and scratched, so I'll have to fix that once I move a bunch of stuff of it and fill some screw holes that were made in the top.

The head unit & AM/FM stereo radio is a NuTone 2071 Stereo Intercom from 1966. While this may seem a bit strange, I was given it by my grandparents and it has a number of inputs for Phono (stereo), Tape (stereo in and out), and TV (mono). For more information about this model, you can visit this website or Northside Service Co. I have re-capped the system as stated in this article and it now works.

The turntable is a Garrard A70 record changer that can play 16 2/3, 33 1/3, 45, and 78 R.P.M. records. It uses a Garrard M8 head shell (also shared with the Lab 80) or a Shure M80E head shell (if there are any other compatible shells, e-mail me).

The tapedeck is a Advent 201A from the 1970s. It may not be the most Hi-Fi deck ever produced (that would probably be a Nakamichi Dragon), however it was $15 from RE-PC and is widely regarded as a reliable, decent sounding deck.
