Phonola console

Post: # 8982Post William »

And then there is this Phonola console. I just thought they made portables.

Nice MCM walnut cab and a sleek looking control panel! Too $$$ for a no-name-ish maker, even if good. An amp pic would be nice. Interesting find!

I'd never seen a Phonola console. Rather nice looking rig. And the price is not horrible. Wonder what the guts were like?

I thought the same thing about the guts, and with a little research I discovered this:

Looks like a single-ended amp. Still impressive for a cheap brand. The controls are actually deluxe looking. It has a VM changer, so we all know how those work. Somebody should save it just to have something unique.
