For a smaller console, Motorola packed a lot into it.

It's from 1963, all tube radio, mpx, and power amp.
Big cool plus, if it has the vibrasonic circuit.
Should have a V-M 1297 type changer.

Here's a section with the power amp.
Some interesting design with the 6BQ5's and 6V6's
for those 3 channels.
The price seems very right on this one, if all is undisturbed.

You can save the listing, then open your saved listings on your other devices.

Well, I think Bill will pass on this one. I already have a Motorola in a Drexel cabinet with reverb that I have not touched yet so I really need to get caught up with stuff before I bring something else home. Well, that is not totally true. I went to an estate sale last Friday and something followed me home from there. Nice thing about that sale is I know the people, and It was within walking distance from my house. Stay tuned for the rest of the story.

Dang it Bill... you forced my hand...LOL... I made a deal with the guy , I will be picking this one up... always wanted a 3 channel is this one appears to be in good shape other than the turntable... I almost made a deal on one earlier this summer sitting over in the thumb area ... but it had no radio, just the phono...

Sorry Elton, but at least it's staying in the family. Classic HIFI family that is! ;) :) I figured since I already have a Motorola 3 channel I did not need another, at least not yet. :roll: While you are in Ludington stop by the House of Flavors for lunch and ICE CREAM! You won't be sorry, especially the ice cream. :D

Yeah, I finally gave up camping. I sold the 5th wheel, and then the Dodge diesel truck and just picked up a Ford Ranger as the second vehicle. The only time I really enjoyed camping in Michigan was spring or fall. June, July, and August are so packed with people it was hard just to relax and enjoy nature in the piece and quiet Michigan nature has to offer. Looking forward to hearing about your new toy and the photos of "under the hood".

Nice! The one in my "avatar" is a '62? Moto 3 channel. The 6BQ5s drove the 4 smaller speakers and the 6V6s the big 15" center woofer on mine located under vertical louvers in the cabinet front. Local find for $35 and everything worked.
After about a year purged under wife's request for a storage sideboard in that LR location. Happy wife, happy life!
