I noticed that the sound wasn't strong bass. I guess it wouldn't of been a very powerful amp. I wonder what it would sound like if you were able to pair of better quality speakers or brand speakers. (In their on speak box)

I read the GDSF has been cancelled for 2023 due to rising costs for putting the event on, this is a real shame.

That wolf bull one is ealcoats one it’s a detroit

I was there

Nice

Great footage although what id really like see at the GDSF are the real mccoys modified tractors with aero/tank engines

I bought the same setup in 1972 iirc. The 13x8 EMIs with a Garrard SP25 MkIII were to be seen in a lot of budget systems at the time. I kept them for a year or two before upgrading to 'hifi'. Thanks for the trip down memory lane :-)

Lovely part of the world ❤️from Brisbane

When I was in middle school in 1966 I bought a Philco stereo receiver system for about $26.00 and played the heck out of it, now my wife wonders why I buy tube Fishers and Dynacos and Sherwoods and I tell her I want to listen to things I couldn't afford when I was a kid.

"Infect Me With Your Love" by The The. Nice!

Do you know of anywhere to get one of these amps serviced

I bought a Philco Super 20 stereo in about 1973/74 for £50 from Comet Warehouses in Eastleigh, Hampshire. This was when you could pay by cheque and they had a dual photo machine which took an image of you and your cheque. We were poor, but my mum and dad had taken out endowments long before for our 15th birthdays which my brother and I both spent on stereos. Comet was a very exciting place for the growing interest in hi-fi and the new colour tvs. Japanese hi-fi separates were arriving, and things looked pretty good for budget hi-fi buyers. Comet had their own brand, Solavox, as well as plenty of famous names. Their shelves stretched up high and things were set out in the new warehouse style for quick turnover and low prices. It made Curry's look even more dreadful than they already were, with their HMV radiograms and Dansette mono record players. Comet produced a cheaply printed tabloid-sized price list each week which I would pore over for hours. One day I hoped to be able to afford some of these amazing hi-fis with outputs like 50 watts per channel rms. The thought made my head spin! Carrefour, now Asda, were selling hifi separates like the Sansui quadrophonic systems, and also Rigonda record players and miniature tv sets. I'd stand and stare at these wonderful things for hours. My Philco Super 20 was a combination am/fm tuner, 10+10 watts rms amp and an autochange record deck, which I stripped of its autochange mechanism as it looked too pedestrian for my blossoming hi-fi snobbery and my lads bedroom. I'd read in HiFi Answers or somesuch that an autochanger meant you were more Currys style than serious Comet hi-fi style. It looked the business to me, and sounded great for a schoolboy's budget. I used to play Genesis, Led Zeppelin and my pop 45s, or the Alan Freeman Saturday show at high volumes, much to my mum's consternation. My parents had never heard sound so good ("lovely tone") or so loud. My dad was happy as, like many people who'd lived through the war he despised the Japanese and wouldn't have anything Japanese in the house. We assumed the Philco was British made or American. Whereas things in my £50 price range like the Rigonda Party Time, Fidelity UA4, HMV record player etc looked really crass, like stuff from Brian Mills catalogue, I felt my Philco set me apart as more knowledgable, a sort of budding hi-fi expert. With the bedroom lights dimmed the lovely illuminated green and black tuner dial could be mistaken for a proper hifi I felt. There were no amenity waste places with discarded hi-fis or stereos in those days - NOBODY threw anything away, even wartime radios, on which we listened to 247m Radio 1 and the new FM local stations like BBC Radio Solent (then mono FM) and Radio Victory. If we wanted stereo reproduction it had to be newly bought, and consumer electronics by comparison to today were much more expensive. I loved my Philco and only parted with it when I started work and bought hi-fi separates (crap ones, but they seemed magnificent!). What lovely innocent times.

I have a complete system for sale - SP25 turntable, amp and speakers. One power amp channel is faulty. Sensible offers to John.w.horsley@gmail.com

Glad the commentator has the appropriate amount of cloth covering his microphone and nobody took the town crier out and I don't mean for a beer.

From memory stereo is with the button in the out position , push the button in for mono.

I have this system with a matrching Garrard SP25 in Philco Ford plynth and perspex cover. With a period high output Cartridge (Goldring g800) and a decent LP this sounds very nice. There is good hifi (expensive hifi) and enjoyable hifi, this very enjoyable hifi. The Amplifier has a nice full sound, you will be surprised if you have not opened the speaker cabinets , the drive units are large elliptical EMI with centre mounted tweeters. Elliptical speakers have a sound all their own and these are some of the largest ever made and sound very good .

Boooooooo

cool channel

It’s so nice to see the old classics out running, but why do the ‘ Posers ‘ in their Mercedes and even a brand new McClaren, have to join in, just for the ‘look at me’ factor?

Wouldn’t say a vectra b is a classic

Ott being shy and retiring isn't that surprising considering how Estonians are known to be quite calm and reserved afaik.

I'm always on the lookout for Philco Ford and other Ford branded equipment, so if you have any for sale feel free to reply to this comment. I'm particularly looking for items that you'd never think would come with a Ford logo, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, cookers, lawn mowers, Telejogo games consoles, gramophones, etc.

From 1968 products appeared under the name Philco-Ford. Transistor radios were produced from 1959 till 1971.

Does anyone have a schematic for this amp? One other note of warning. The speakers are high impedance. Don’t plug in 4 or 8 ohm units!

I rather like the idea of a winter car show. What a refreshing change. Out here in California, all the car shows are between May & September, when it’s 30-40°C, and the sun will bake you red. The heat gets old.

do you have more of car 9

Love the Sky Blue VW

cosworth heaven...nice video!

I love seeing these old gals gettin their wheels movin. Such a cherished event more exciting than F1 or NASCAR

A great very comprehensive film, but who was responsible for the unbelievable decision to send these cars down Reigate Hill this year which lead directly to such totally predictable tragic consequences?
