Is it transistors or tubes? That's around the time that they started changing over.
My dad always bought component stuff. We had his Scott integrated amplifier (which was mono) as the amp for playing records in the family room. It was tube based. At some point he bought a transistorized "receiver" and I guess he got rid of the old Scott. It looked much like this one but may not have been this exact model: https://reverb.com/item/46663842-vintage-scott-99c-mono-tube-amplifier-w-2x-6l6gc-tubes On Fri, Dec 23, 2022, at 12:11, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote: > My grandparents bought a Philco console stereo in 1955 as a gift to > themselves when my grandfather finished building their home.
