Magnavox sold, Motorola is a keeper, zenith almost ready to list

Looks like you have plenty of room for more!

If I had that model of Motorola I would keep it too.

Love Motorola

Gives me a 58, 59 and a 60. Mono, stereo & 3 channel...and a 64 Drexel.

Brett, your MCM Drexel cabinet is gorgeous. I have the same cabinet but mine looks like it was beat with a hammer and my legs are shorter. May I ask what model yours is?

SKR155W

They made the Drexel declaration cabinets from 59-64, models SK16, SK32, SK52, SK77, SK77-2 and SKR155W

Isn't it interesting how good design stands out from the good-enough, tolerable, and just awful?

Thanks, Brett. I have not looked at mine for a long time but if memory serves, I believe it's a SK52W. I know part of the differences is in the amp. Some were 6V6's and some were like mine with 6BQ5's and 6BM8's. Was yours the last model year? And if so, what components does yours have?

Thanks, Brett, mine must be a 1961.

Brett, you have a nice collection....

Brett, can you please list the model numbers of your Motorola's. You did include the Drexel, but not sure of the other three. Also, one of our members a couple of years ago provided these links so I thought I would pull them up so everyone could look them over again as long as we were talking about Motorola's.

Under downloads is also a brochure that I provided that lists the stereo units from the early sixties. It includes the Declaration with all the other models and a price list. Check it out under "DOWNLOADS"
