Hello Guys, This looks really nice and complete with a matching speaker

Beautiful! If that was listed near me, in Austin for instance, it would probably be listed around $1000. It's a steal at $200

If I found one for that price in my area I'd already be in my truck.

It looks in great shape and the price is right and it is my favorite style cabinet for the Imperial. Since this cabinet style has record storage, where did they put the amp?

Hi William , Here is Seans console just like the one advertised. They put the AMP 182 (30 watts) off to one side, but wouldn't the wiring been cleaner if it was on the other side?

[Hi-Fi-Mogul]

Why is there an extra speaker, if the console has stereo speakers already ?

That price for a unit in California is VERY low.

[Hydrolastic]

Hi Mogul, I know bad math. Stereo seems like two but in this case three. Its because of the selector switch in the imperials and concert grands . in this case it would be switch position B.

[William]

That's weird, with selector switch in the "B" position it shows the main unit to be channel one, and the aux. speaker to be channel two. Somehow, that speaker switch must bridge the main unit to be a "MONO" unit???

Interesting, Hydro. My Imperial is from 1962 and the woofers are side firing, horns front firing, no record storage, the amp is in the middle under the tuner and changer, and my speakers are enclosed. I still like your cabinet better than mine.

Beautiful!

I just checked Hydro's Facebook link, and it still shows active and it has been available for 11 weeks. I can't believe at that price it was not gone the first day.

[Hydrolastic]

William, IDK so strange, I watch a lot of these auctions and this should have been gone long ago. 13 weeks now.

There are some marketplace sellers who don't delete their listings after the sale. May be the case here.
