@49kasey - that's 'Swing' they're playing there, back at that time the Melvin Haggard band were on The World Record Club with a mono LP called 'Dixieland Goes West'. It's a real good swing record if you can pick one up on er that trading platform everybody knows.

This really took me back. I was only 9 or 10 years old when my dad let me play records on his setup back in the late 50's. I remember the Gray tonearm and two Heath integrated amps and a pair of Symphonic speakers. I don't know what kind of cartridge he used but it had to have been stereo.

The GE Rpx cartridge is an ideal match for the Gray arm.

Good Day,

I have one of these now. Just got it yesterday. Identical to the model shown except not in the custom base,. (Mine is missing base) w/custom tonearm. Very heavy eh...more so than the old P.E's Miracords etc..

"Bogen-Lenco" B60.

You could set up 2 different cartridges in yours. Mono in the custom wood arm, stereo in the Lenco's arm.

I had an opportunity in 1986 to buy a Lenco L75...for $75. I could not afford it then.

Yours is super!

Strange how you can hear the tube sound, even over youtube. It just sounds different. That warmth!

Bravo! Most people think HiFi is a recent discovery! I've owned many old Rek-O-Kut tables and GE VR carts and Mono tube amps, and they never failed to please and astound the most ardent modern day audiophile. You've got a great system for Monaural! I'm getting an itch to go looking for old ROK tables and Bogen amps just watching this! Thanks for sharing!

Nice, I have the turntable arm of wood. 5*

Reminds me of the t-tables we had when I worked at an AM radio station a hundred years ago. They were built like tanks, but had such pure, genuine sound. Thanks for taking me back...
