Cygnus X1 is on a distinguished road
Default The Generous Viking

fett is a lot of things, but one thing for sure...
No matter how much he likes to save money he is a generous soul!

He sent me a Califone Promenade TUBE turntable. 50's-60's square dance deal, complete with microphone inputs. It's a 2x6L6 amp inside!
Gratis! Free! No charge!
It's as clean as an operating room inside (which can be scary, it will have to be brought back to life carefully), except a couple of disconnected wires from the output transformer.

If someone saw this at a flea market, they would have no idea what kind of tube power was packed into this record player. No tube chart, no clue, except an access cover under the tone arm.

Super!
I'm looking at it closer, and will try to fire it up.
Right now I'm building a Tweed Deluxe clone from a cheap solid state amp.
