I still have many products including Dynaco A-25 speakers as I was a salesman for an audio store that sold so many great audio brands including Dynaco. They were made in the seventies. I have also been a musician playing gigs since 1966 to 2022
My wife saw me glued to the computer and asked what I was watching I told her she just shook her head. Thank you for posting this video I had so much fun watching this. This was a serious video I had to pause it for a second cup of coffee. You guys really made my day thanks.
All I got is a 1963 Admiral Stereo AM-FM / Phono console with a whopping 6 watts of tube power. I rehabbed this unit and when you crank it they can hear it down the street. Recapped, retubed, cleaned the mechanicals and waxed the wood.
It was great to be in the business touring factories that make audio gear and able to get equipment at distributor cost which was less than dealer cost
Original La Scala had handles because they were designed for concert hall and theatre use.. In the late 70s, a pair of black brand new La Scalas were 1500 canadian dollars dealer net.. In black..
The reel to reel I purchased from a estate sale. I had to clean up the dirt, replace the belts, lube, and make wood sides for it. Just for a tip. If you don't have a saw and need a piece of wood cut. They will do it for you at Home Depot or Lowes.
I have had a 950 since I was 12 years old to include a pair of hpm100 speakers, all still in mint condition. Had the 950 go through Inspection and anything that needed upgraded in2019
I watched this video 20 times at least, can't stop my head scratchin' and droolin', you should've seen my face the first time I watched this, I couldn't believe it. what a collection the man has. phenomenal.
@@LennyFlorentine I watch every single thing you put out there and the website, the catalogs... I'm upgrading next year and despite I live in Spain you are one of my really trusted dealers. When the time is right you'll get the call and I'm sure something good will arise
Its amazing how every single component allows you to remember the moment of purchase with passion.......this emotional connection is what dreams are made off .........
Now this Is what i call ''A Real Vintage-Stereo Collection Tour!'', I so enjoyed this video, It was like back when i was in the the military at one of the audio store on one of the bases over-seas! Love it, I even saw a few pecies of audio that i've still got from around 1979-81. (Thanks ''Just Audio'' for this got interview with ''Florida Vintage Hunter'')😀
That collection may be worth more than my house !! Love all the smaller brand TOTL Too many to have a favorite receiver. Amazing he's found this much AND been able to purchase. Daughter should upgrade. Ain't like he can't help a girl out
We used to sell Dinaco speakers by catalog in Lafayate Electronics and customers were very satisfied with them, so we started to stock them in the store. Good memories!
Showed this video to my wife, just to show her my “obsession” with vintage hifi is no where near this guy’s level! Awesome video! Very jealous. Glad to see another proud Technics SA800 owner. Keep up the good work fellas!
That's a proven strategy, have used it with my wife to expand my watch collection, just find a guy way crazier than you and you are all set... or let your wife make a crazy purchase for herself and quickly use the open window created as an opportunity to expand your collection whatever that is 😂
Radio Shack!!! I would have been better off with Realistic than Yamaha. But we were snobs back then and considered Realistic as cheap junk. We thought we knew more than we obviously did!!!
@@jstravelers4094 I loved the mach speakers-the auto tuning with the receivers-minimus speakers-patrolman police scanner and radio-DX 160 shortwave receiver-CB radios
This is the most amazing collection l've ever seen! I grew up in the 60s when playing records was a Friday night event, and if you owned a great stereo it just made the night even more fun! I also was a bench tech for a few years and can truly appreciate well made stereo equipment. Great job Sir 😊
Wow Im blown away. I have 2 Altec 1569A power amps running my home stereo. They have a quartet of EL34s in them. They were in the Alladdin Casino in Vegas. Thanks for sharing!
Glad he mentioned Project One! I have a Mark 1500 which was their top of the line receiver and it absolutely cranks! I don't see many of them anywhere. Also have their top end cassette deck but it needs belts.
Thank you for sharing this with us this gentleman has a really unreal collection of Beautiful vintage Audio. I love the way he leaves alot of it exactly the way it was when he bought them. Thank you again for sharing and of course that guy really enjoyed this 👍💯🎶🎶👍
FYI: The PL-550 and 570 turntables were stable 33 1/3 RPM within the 1st revolution. No other table that I know of can do that. Pretty handy when recording from vinyl.
Growing up I always loved the sound and look of Pioneer receivers. I remember looking at them at the Navy Exchange when I was a poor teenager. I could only afford one of those Panasonic 3 in one units. And I loved it for a couple of years until I splurged on a HK 330i, which still works as I gave it to my niece. Eventually, while not really shopping or looking around I found a Pioneer SX 780 in great cosmetic condition with original box. So I just had to get it. And at $500 shipping included, not too bad but a price. Plus sounds so fantastic. I love it. Really enjoy your channel btw.
Like the way he told us what he paid for some of the receivers. There are still bargains out there if you look hard and long enough. Seems like he is giving his tech a lot of work but is a priceless commodity to have.
addendum: Phase Linear made a power amp, Phase Linear 700, that delivered 350 watts into 8 ohms, I once owned (in my youth) a Phase Linear 400 ( a power beast in it's own right, driving 4 of the original Large Advents, using a nakamichi 410 preamp and a Technics SL 1600 DD turntable. The Large Advents could be played VERY loud, but were very power hungry, but were a rock music fans' nirvana.
Tremendous video. Such fantastic looking equipment back then. Still use my Pioneer SX939. This video reminded me of your old type videos. Thanks for showing it!
I love it. I wish I had a friend like that. I have a modest collection, and I just thought I was insane but now I see that I’m not. Got a lot of cool ideas from you guys, As far as displays and stuff. I wasn’t sure what to do with it. I have stereos in my bedroom, living room, and family room, that I use, so I thought that was questionable behavior. Thank you for validating my sickness? Illness?
Damn, that's some nice silverware. A friend of mine has that same Marantz 250M and Model 7 preamp. That is something I'd like to get some day. I'd pair it with the LaScalas at the beginning of the video, and happily spend all day irritating the neighbors. I moved a couple years ago, and ended up clearing out most of my vintage equipment, but I kept two. A NAD 3020 amp and my Yamaha CR-1040 receiver.
Dudes im 36 from the Netherlands and it all started for me with a 560 bleuline. And iam blown away by the stuff you have in the US here the prices are unaforteble im so jalouse i couldt cry. Thnx for sharing all of the beautyfull stuff in your collection ❤
I had So Much Fun watching the video ! My Sansui model 2000 doesn’t light up unless FM is selected, there’s a small light that illuminates thought indicating each source.When I first got it I thought the lights had burnout until I figured it out lol! I own a dual 1226 and I love seen brands of vintage gear that’s a model or two different than mine ! Thank you!
Unbelievable! And he remembered all the model #s, he was totally runnin' up and down all the goodies, was like going stereo shopping in the '60s-'70s and beyond. Knew someone with the A-25s, yes, super speaker, and I had a Dynaco 400 for awhile, long gone, replaced by a Counterpoint Solid 2, a real monster, and too large for normal shelving, bottom rack only 90+lbs. Thanks for the video. 👍😆
One of those Sansui 990's with the black face went for almost $2200.00 on Goodwill auctions a few days ago. And that of course was unrestored, but it was in great cosmetic shape. I'll never be able to afford one, that much I know for sure.
Back in 2013 I was the high bidder on a mint one on eBay. I think it was 498 or so plus shipping. Surprised it didn't go higher but that was before the big vintage price hike.
Really impressive collection from a guy that knows a lot! Bringing that 250M back to life was great, as well as its sibling that is ready to get brand new meter dials! Keep up the great work, Nick!
OMG what a great collection...I thought I had a lot of stuff...my collection pales in comparison! Boy since I do all my own repairs and restorations I don't think I would ever get through all your stuff in a lifetime! Now back in the day I was a frequent customer of Pacific Stereo where I purchased my first system from. And yes Quadraflex was their middle of the line store brand but I never remember Project One being sold there, at least the stores in SF Bay area. Concept was their TOLT store brand and TransAudio was their entry level brand!
Always nice to see my gear in collections. Have my dad's Pioneer SX-950 and those Realistic meters but replaced the dead bulbs with blue leds. Looks like I need to upgrade my speaker game though.
Awesome guy, awesome collection! I came into the store last week and didn't see you but I dropped off one of my Parasound amps for repair. Thanks for the video!
I have the Realistic STA-2080. My dad gave it to me. It keeps-on working great at 40 years old. Must have been built with good caps to last this long. Nice also is the 2 phono settings.
Lenny and I are in sync ANYTHING Black Face Sansui, Marantz, Pioneer...the Integrated Sansui's are a fever dream...My hats off to those who can enjoy and a place to enjoy this history. This is just insane 😂 my hat is off. How many receivers does he have?!!! I know Pacific Stereo....
Wow! That was a very impressive audio gear collection and @floridavintagehunter seems like such a great guy and he is very knowledgeable and was generous with his time. Amazing! :)
I've watching since you began the channel. You have NEVER ONCE .... EVER ..... Done a video on the "Concept" line of receivers that were the house brand at Pacific stereo. From the Concept 2.0 up to the monster Concept 16.5 they are some of the best solid state receivers made. Designed by Nelson Pass no less. Get yo' shyte together. GIVE CONCEPT THE LOVE ❤️
I have a fully working 9191 that I bought a few years ago at one of my favorite record shops. Complete with the restoration notes. It has the wood cabinet, but those Spec handles do look awesome. It’s maybe the best sounding cassette deck I’ve ever heard. And certainly a stunning looking component.
As an audio tech sales consultant from the seventies and eighties I still have a Linn Sondek LP-12 and a Dual 701 with a number of cartridges and audio research preamp and amplifier and Magneplanar speakers
Great video clip, love the vintage gear. Nick, has some of the nicest equipment & signage. Thanks Lenny for doing an amazing job of bringing all the memories forward. The Sansui 9090 & Pioneer CT 9191 are at the top of my wish list. Lost out to the 9090 several years ago & past up the Pioneer CT 9191 new at Stereo Discounters for a Technics RS 631, same price with the Pioneer on clearance.. I have regretted that decision since 1976. I still have the Technics though. My cousin had a 9191, I don't know what ever happened to it. I have some of the equipment featured but not nearly the collection. A wife thing, I'm sure most of you get it. The one component I value most are two hand knitted turntable covers my grandmother made for me. As a kid I didn't like dirt, finger prints & above all scratches on my turntable lids. They are a work of art. Both are about 45 years old. Kudos to you Nick, keep it up, much luck with all your endeavors & thank you Lenny. > Joe
Wow. Nick you have the most unbelievable hi fi collection I have ever seen. I agree 110 percent on the Dynaco A 25 are the best sounding bookshelf speakers made!! I own the amazing A 50’s in my collection. I’m looking for a pair of A25’s. My collection is at about 42 components. Got a long way to catch up to you! Thanks for the Vid.
Manhattan is the greatest collection of sony Es vintage equipment I have ever seen greeting from Toronto Canada .I have a complete set of the 7ES equipment from 1987 and up with woodside panels best regards
i think i saw a receiver from SAE in the left corner next to the pioneer round logo with light, it looks like the one i´m looking for, that i have the deck from the same catalog a huge one, with a beautifull blue display

Sansui 9000, 22000, 33000.....the most beautiful receivers ever created!!!
So fun to watch you guys nerd out to this stuff from my youth......The stuff is older than you guys are!!!!
What a great guy. I love the way he remembers all the folks he bought them from. Regards from the UK

The Sickness is Real... WOW! And the low price you paid for most of those beauties is Insane! Sweet Collection Mate.
It is
You made me happy by saying “I am a Sansui guy”. 😊
That's cool to see other people's collections!
Thanks Frank! I enjoy touring them
Dynaco A25. Made almost forever from about 1969 until late 70's. I'm shocked this is your first exposure to them. EPI M100's very nice as well.
Captain Sub you did good during the interview + you represented your store with pride. You guys at Just audio are the best !!!! TMP from N.J 👍.
I'm feelin' a Jones coming on for flippin' through the LP racks.
Impressive collection, displayed well and the owner is very knowledgeable.
Very knowledgeable!
For awhile I thought I was being given the salesman's speil at a stereo shop. I was tryin' to remember how much money I had in my pocket!😆
HEY. ALL CAPS JOE HERE
7:00. THE REALISTICS WERE ALMOST ALL MADE BY HITACHI. AND HITACHI IS GOOD STUFF.

Most of us are a little left of center with regards to Hi-Fi Equipment, Nick appears to be all the way left.........Impressive collection

Have 1979 Marantz 620M power Amp. Also matching 3800 pre Amp. Would love to find a 150 tuner with oscilloscope.
That Sanyo JCX 2900 should have been given more love.
120 wpc, dual transformers and dual mono amps. Sweet unit that I have.
They are going up in value as people realize what they are.
I have a fully working 9191 that I bought a few years ago at one of my favorite record shops. Complete with the restoration notes. It has the wood cabinet, but those Spec handles do look awesome. It’s maybe the best sounding cassette deck I’ve ever heard. And certainly a stunning looking component.

dbx for home use was very expensive but sounded better than all but maybe a few records were made in dbx, they still exist but for studio material
Me I use equilizer alot and I have JVC equilizer exactly like the gray one you have shown and it's wonderful!
Awesome video, I almost purchased that 250M from Nick... Killer collection
Jebus christ that's a nice collection!!!!
Nice video too :D
Ohh... That Nikko receiver. Had a Nikko NR-1019 but sold it and got a Technics SU-V9. Both were very cool.
Wow. Nick you have the most unbelievable hi fi collection I have ever seen. I agree 110 percent on the Dynaco A 25 are the best sounding bookshelf speakers made!! I own the amazing A 50’s in my collection. I’m looking for a pair of A25’s. My collection is at about 42 components. Got a long way to catch up to you! Thanks for the Vid.
killer video, this guy has it all!
Awesome collection! And he paid very reasonable prices. I got some nice gear but paid up to get it.
Awesome video! I don't have a vintage audio collection, but I do have a Marantz 4300 that was serviced last year.
Very cool!
Saw the Sony STR V5 as soon as you walked in. I have one. Great receiver
treasure tour of hifi vintage stuff, very nice video 👍
Thank you!
