Capehart 400 N1

Beautiful, the sound is awesome but it doesn't surprise me, those tube systems always sound very good, does it have some kind of Din or Phono input?

[Ryoga2K]

@Ryoga2K Also I'm not telling that the sound of this didn't surprise me, actually is beautiful xD I'm only saying that tube based systems have amazing sound.

Does it have the magic eye tuner, also?

[johnlovestimi]

@mummyjohn Yes, it has the eye tube.

This is RIDICULOUS! That is one AMAZING mechanism. Talk about a fine American product, I do declare.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have always wanted to see one of the rare Capeharts in action. Amazing sound too!

Awesome! Not the biggest surprise since I do believe Capehart made jukeboxes around the same time.. probably with somewhat similar mechanisms! But yeah this is too cool for words!!!

That's an incredible unit and the sound quality of those 78's was amazing. Was it considered audiophile level high-end in 1947?
