Here's one of those songs everyone recognizes but says "who dunnit?". It's the HONEYCONE, and what a great song! Buddah label, monaural sound. Dumont console stereo circa early 1960s, solid wood cabinet w/walnut veneers, a fine piece of furniture made in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and kept in immaculate condition. 100% solid state (all transistorized), probably one of the first of its kind. Model T-100 tuner/pre-amplifier is what's visible in the console and a separate power amp chassis is located inside & concealed in the cabinet. The technicians at the shop tell me she's pumping out 20 watts RMS per channel; all the electronics have been rebuilt. AM/FM/FM stereo with AFC, scratch and rumble filter settings, mono button for monaural recordings (reduces groove noise). VU meters for audio balance and also for tuning strength in both AM/FM. Buttons for selecting headphones/internal/external speakers or both at once. This splits the output to 4 X 10 watts when both int/ext speakers used. Garrard 'lab series' type A record changer completely overhauled, new Shure cartridge and elliptical stylus for incredible frequency response and tracking at 3.0 grams. Each speaker chamber is air-tight and acoustic suspension with: 12" polypropylene woofer w/rubber surround; 5" midrange; 4" tweeter and 1-1/2" supertweeter each with dedicated crossover. This piece of equipment kicks butt, if you're playing this back with a subwoofer and tweeters you'll hear what I mean.
