Treasure Chest
Today I found this at estate/demo sale.
As I walked in there was lots of junk,boxes furniture, clothes etc. When I went into the basement I saw lots of LPs ...... and then this cabinet. On top the cabinet were books, vases and cardboard boxes of misc junk. Cleared the crap and opened the lid on the cabinet. When I lifted the lid I could not believe what I saw.
Garrard 301, Sme 3012 and a bunch of quad gear. Bought it on the spot.
I will need help identifying some of the pieces. Not much on the net. Any body know what these pieces are ?
I will remove the back of the cabinet to see if there are markings on the components. I am sure that the amp is inside of the unit.
Plugged the ac cord in and everything works.

Now to start cleaning and removing the dust.
