1963 Silvertone console

Post: # 13159Post Motorola minion »

Here is a bargain I picked up for $25 some time ago. The styling is pretty traditional, it makes up for that with a solid built chassis. These Warwick-produced tube models performed fairly well. This one has a twin still in the barn but that one has a Webcor changer (branded Syntronic) and a separate amplifier chassis. Otherwise, both have FM mpx, 6BQ5 SE, 12AX7s and the same 12" speakers and 3.5" tweeters mounted in the center of them.

Another nice one! You've been snagging a lot of good stuff lately, you might need to put an addition on the garage... there's a Zenith just waiting to come to your place soon!

I think these old Warwick Silvertones have been in my rented space for 4 years now, its about time to knock out the smaller ones if they sell. I tend to prefer keeping heavy consoles mainly for the acoustic advantages. :ugeek:

Could it be Crescent? My aunt and uncle had a Silvertone that used that changer.

Yep, a Silvertone branded Crescent changer.

Dave, I have that Sams, if you think it will help you.

In this iteration they got away from that rubber drive
cam and use a regular toothed drive gear
with an idler wheel.

(thank goodness !)
