- This small vintage stereo shop had some unbelievable finds hidden inside! I'm on a mission to find the best vintage hifi in the country! Today I visit the small town of Williamsport which is located off the Susquehanna River. The Stereo Shoppe was a small Vintage Audio Store that packed big surprises!

Hey Lenny; This is Joe, good job editing this. I set up the Rabco for a customer then he decided he didn't want it. It is just what I called it in the video "Rube Goldberg"-ish it was time consuming to set up but as someone said below it is a piece of history. The speakers at 10:03 are the top end of a pair of Vandersteen 5's. Thanks for coming to my store. Joe
Thanks for having me Joe! I really enjoyed it!
I enjoy watching mostly the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's Hi Fi Stereo equipments. Just watching them is pleasing me. 😊
Thank you for this video!
I was surprised that the Rabco tonearm used a battery and not a 2-stroke motor. Very cool
Very crude tonearm compared to linear arms available today, i would steer clear of the Rabco.
Cool piece of history none the less.
I would steerclear of any linear arm
Thanks all for sharing these information!
Looks like a beautiful area by the river. I prefer the water too
That Marantz preamp is a 7C. The 7T is the solid state version that replaced it, with "T" standing for transistor.
How long ago were you there? The Little League World Series ended today, and has been going on for the last 10 days. It actually takes place across the river in South Williamsport.
Great video! Definitely took me back in time to my BX visits in the 70's and 80's.
That was a Sansui 8080db, not a 9090db.
Can confirm
Definitely gonna be a fun one
Another great find, always something cooler than the next. Stay in Pa. my god! Good stuff Lenny.
Your doing a great Job Lenny finding all these great locations ❤
Some really awesome stuff
That amp had old Telecaster top hat knobs on it! Were those original equipment on that amp?
At 3:30 you identify the Marantz preamp as the 7T. That is incorrect. The 7T was the transistor model that came after the vacuum tube model 7C you are showing.
That marrantz left tube has gone to air (as in lost vacuum, as in cracked somewhere) see the white getter? 😥
That is a tremendous load of nice stuff. Thank you for the video.
I agree.
Hey Lenny , I like your videos. I love seeing the old quality gear still working. About Sankyo they made cassette decks and components for lots of brands including nakamichi and others. They didn't really market their brand name a lot of places sold them like a second line. They were a less pricy brand . But great quality. I still have one I bought new in 1979. I recently replaced the belts and little oil that still sounds great works perfectly.
Thanks for sharing this info!
Mcintosh devices are truly timeless.
That tuner was really cool. Great video.
Another great store! Hopefully you can connect with Ed @ Vintage Audio Exchange in Jamestown, NC. It’s a great little small town and his store is loaded.
awesome, thankfully I can now admit my addiction & sadly I know I cannot enter a vintage hifi shop or I would quickly spend every dime i have.
Same here!....
I enjoy your videos, but the background music is competing with your speech. I'm more interested in what you are saying.
Great info!
Totally agree. Does nothing to enhance your videos.
@@LennyFlorentineI know some are complaining about the music; however, let me know what the first song was, on this video. It was great!!
That's the second Sankyo cassette player I've seen. I believe they were a budget line feom Teac. I aquired one in a collection I purchased earlier this year and very cheaply made.
I had a Sankyo STD 200 cassette deck. The tape transport pops up and pushes the tape out when you press the eject button. I had a black one back in the 80's. That thing was the shizz!!!!
I've had my TD125 with an SME II arm for almost 45 years.
I had a sankyo cassette deck. It lasted me several years. Sold it when I upgraded and made my money back on it.
You are a great audio historian. Maybe you should teach an Audio History course at the university level. But what’s with the Confucius beard ?
You can find a lot of great deals on vintage audio in small towns. Those are the places that haven't been corrupted by the pricing according to auction sites...yet...
I don't know about your auctions, but at mine, I can still get a receiver or speakers for $40.
Also, the prices aren't really corrupted due to greed. A typical 70's receiver to replicate today would average about $3,000
Sankyo is a panchiko machine manufacturer. They made that tape deck during the Japanese electronics boom when companies made everything.
The same Sankyo that made the transports for Nakamichi?
Their pachinko machines must have been really good.
6:28 👉🏻 Klipsch , HAIR I SEES 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 cat I see 😺🙀
I hate my commercial printing job. I wish to work in a vintage audio shop
Ha! Ha! 😅
The speakers you could not identify look like Vandersteen’s and the current models still have a similar design.
I know about many speaker brands but this is the first time I hear this brand name!
I would question the Yamaha CT 7000 tuner being the best Yamaha ever made. Back around 1979-1980, Yamaha made a tuner called the T1. I had the cheaper T2 which was OK but nothing great. The T1 tuner on the other hand received rave reviews from every publication. Is the CT 7000 really better or is it just because it has presets that it brings more money? The T1 tuners were bringing upwards of $800-$1000 on the used market at one time, but now I see them for under 500. I was just wondering why that is.
🥰👍❤👍🥰
I have an 8b .it awesome
Nice Marantz, but a Dyna ST70, PAS3 and FM3 would outperform it.
I have a Sansui AU 11000A amplifier can anyone tell me about it worth keeping was in the family for years have the tuner too.
Your AU 11000A Amp is BEAUTIFUL.... You should 100% ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY KEEP IT.
How much for the AKAI set ????????
My uncle 1991 made lamps out of the old marantz vintage stereos and trashed the guts and now he regrets it so much. And the lamps doesn't look right to begin with.
Oh no! I kinda want to see the lamp
@@LennyFlorentineme too
@@LennyFlorentine Right here, on youtube, there's a guy who guts cassette decks to implant a cellphone with "rolling reels" animation. There's probably a hundred or more of these frankenboxes, still earning some monetization pennies. Well, at least these were lower-end decks, not Tandbergs or Revoxes.
@@maynard5492 that sounds like a bizarre thing to make a lamp out of
@@samuelg7673Yes, that's right!
Sadly most the vintage receivers were in the back because they were not functioning right.
good video lenny...but the talk over music is a tad too loud and distracting.
Good criticism, I’ll have to check the volumes on that
I don't understand how People RUIN these Vintage items by ENGRAVING SERIAL NUMBERS on the Front Panels.
The merchandise would be more appealing if it was dusted and cleaned up.
Sad someone bought the installation half and gave it a super ugly logo
