Hey gang. I found this beautiful old stereo cabinet at our local Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. The price was ludicrously cheap, so I had to take it home.

Turns out, it works and sounds great! I don't know if someone replaced the speakers at some point (there's a date of 12/1965 on the back on the cabinet), but the speaker boxes are solid, and well insulated. Each side has one big woofer and 4 mid/tweets.

As much as I like the groovy look of it, I'd like to replace the receiver with a modern unit. The turntable just died today, so that will need replacing too.

Does anyone know if receivers with that form factor, preferably with a built-in phono preamp, are still made? My searches so far have turned up nothing.

I bet the RR2150 would be perfect for this. I'd just have to come up with some way to make it look nice.

How did the turntable die. If it's belt drive I would bet the old belt gave up the ghost. Remove the table from the cabinet and check out the innards. It looks like its deep enough for a Project Debut III to fit in there. If you could come up some rack mounts for the 2150 you could hang it vertically. The cabinet looks awesome.
