It's astounding to me how far along we've come these last few decades in our means of listening, recording, and storing audio material. In 2011, you can easily fit 6 gazillion songs in the palm of your hand and carry them with you everywhere you go. But as we see in these glorious Magnavox Stereo Console catalog photos from 1975, audio entertainment meant something else, and it most definitely was NOT portable!

This late 1950's Magnavox Model 1ST203 Mid-Century Contemporary Console Stereo is. Magnavox MidCentury Hi-Fi Console. Model Number: 1ST203F. Feb 26, 2011 Magnavox Stereo ('75) It's. But as we see in these glorious Magnavox Stereo Console catalog photos from 1975. The model number is PE6464.

Tuner / amplifier, record changer, 8-track tape player, speaker systems, etc; these were all seperate units back in the day, but Magnavox had a visibly superior idea with their 'acoustically designed cabinets' for blending your audio electronic system perfectly into a room, and becoming an altogether different component of your daily life, aka: as furniture that rocks! I was just talking about this with a friend, how; when we were teenagers, a whole wall of your room would go toward your stereo system - my speakers were four feet high. Amp was separate. Receiver was separate. Some poor souls even got sucked into the quad thing, mounting speakers in all four corners.

In fact, my setup looked a bit like the second photo from bottom - with the speakers set off to the side of the cabinet – I had both turntable and 8-track. My father built the cabinet to fit my room. Jesus, I even had that haircut (I didn't have the sports trophies, though). I bet this all comes back at some point. It was so much cooler than an ear bud. I mean, just look how cool this stuff was. >It was so much cooler than an ear bud.

I mean, just look how cool this stuff was. I totally agree Mykal. Sometimes handheld digital convenience doesn't necessarily mean it's the best option.

I also seemed to remember liking music alot more back in those days than I do now, I wonder why? No need to answer, I already know why. >Your set up similiar to any of these Steve? Just the one I have marked in the post, inherited it a few years ago after an Uncle passed away (and tucked inside was the great Magnavox catalog and anti-static cloth!) Thanks for the comments!

I have the Dry Sink model setting in my living room until I finish out my music room and make a spot for it. My granny bought it brand new in 1975, the year I started college, and I got it along with her furnishings and house when she passed away in 2004.

She bought a new Magnavox console TV along with it, but it died a few years ago. The stereo still works like new, and only needs a new stylus for the phono. The speakers on the thing are still incredible considering, and I was always amazed that it compared favorably against my Kenwood, Sansui, etc., component stereo systems back then.

And the 8 track player still works like a charm! I remember looking through Stereo Review in those days to get ideas from the custom installations they did photo spreads on.

2011 World Cup Song Download Mp3. I actually did a nice one using the cabinet from an old console radio/phonograph my grandparents had from the forties, and now my nephew has it, still using it. For me it is like LP album covers.aesthetics play a big part in our sensual experiences, and plugging my old Koss headphones into my 1973 Kenwood amp and listening to music, even CDs, just pleases me more than the convenience of my iPod and ear buds. How many LPs did YOU purchase for the cover as much as for the music? >How many LPs did YOU purchase for the cover as much as for the music? LPs with gatefolds and booklets made alot of music much more interesting and fun.

>I need the one with the writing desk! Haha, remember the frustrating act of writing lyrics down by hand as you listened to an album? Nowadays you just go to a lyrics site and copy/paste.

Boy times sure have changed. >complete with anti-static cleaning cloth!

I've also got a neat little vintage bottle of Goodell 'Record Life' record cleaner / electrostatic eliminator, plus the booklet too! I should've added it to this post.
