Console #3: Olympic Model 1770
This is a tube fired AM/FM turntable stereo console made in the early to mid '60s. The original purchaser/owner of this was asking $20. It likely has some parts I could use, so even though it didn't power up I actually paid $10 because there was an obvious sentimental attachment for the owner. It appears to be a cheaply built, in Great Britain I believe. The turntable is marked BSR. The circuit arrangement is rather curious. The lower image below shows the tube configuration. It appears that the preamp chassis is separate. Another oddity is the lack of power transformer.
