We are lifelong vintage collectors who are passionate about Mid-Century design - we love great music and living out our lifelong dream as small business owners supporting our local neighborhood, as well as the entire country.  

 

Whether you're into classic rock, jazz, classical, hip-hop, top 40 or a mash-up or everything we've learned that all types of music sound better on a vintage stereo console and we think you'll agree.

​

Vintage stereo consoles offer a superior, personalized listening experience allowing you to chose your music source, switching effortlessly between the record player, traditional broadcast radio (am/fm) and streaming music/media from your smartphone (Yes - we've already added Bluetooth capability). 

 

The sound that these vintage stereos produce once they've been restored is truly something to behold. 

 

These 'music boxes' provide an authentic listening experience that pays homage to the music while allowing you the opportunity to adjust the balance (L-R), bass and treble levels to your preferences. Whether you are hosting a bass-heavy birthday bash for a 25-year-old young adult or simply filling your home with ambiance at dinnertime, the sound that these consoles produce have your 'needs' (and 'wants') covered. 

 

Additionally, did we mention that these stereo cabinets are gorgeous?!?  We purposely acquire vintage stereo consoles that hit that sweet spot of eye-catching design (quality construction and functionality for today's modern lifestyles) and time enduring simple-to-use electronics. These 'music boxes' look great positioned under your big screen TV or equally as appealing showcased in your den, office, basement or living room.

 

The pre-restoration vintage stereo consoles that meet our criteria are models with eye-appeal, brand appeal, as well solid componentry and little to no damage.  Not all stereos make that cut but we work hard to ensure variety of design, cabinet style, cabinet size, and quality componentry along with showcasing various brands such as Zenith, Packard Bell, Bell & Howell, Grundig and RCA Victor.   

 

We use our collective years of expertise to restore these vintage stereo consoles, ensuring each units functionality as a music machine, as well as a cherished piece of furniture to be showcased in your home or office.  We are a small business that supports our customers throughout the sales process offering guidance with selection, purchase, delivery, equipment orientation and operational support, all meant to help you make the right choice for you.    

​

It's time to dust off your record collection and decide which restored vintage stereo console makes your heart beat fast.  Be honest - aren't you long overdue for a purchase that you can enjoy every single day?
