I have this system. Awesome 60's looks!

Oh my, I have exactly that receiver somewhere here in my basement, with matching speakers. I think it was the very first stereo I ever owned. Bought used at a local hifi store - for something like $30, back in 1975 or so. Somebody had traded it in.

If you wanted to, with a slight modification you could upgrade the old dial lamps to LED's which last longer, and most likely replaced all the electrolytic caps if required ... and it might work great, but would no longer be in 1970's original condition. 🤔 Nice unit nonetheless and sounds good for the price! 😇

fuse lamps, I didn't notice they were used outside the automotive world ... I guess why not right lol. About 10 years ago I designed some LED replacements that look like the ones you put in for cars, they were a flop cause we couldnt produce them cheap enough here in the states ... but the point is the only thing that makes a LED replacement 8 volt vs 6 volt is that tiny resistor so instead of lets say 25ma flowing though (each) LED your only getting maybe 17. They are not going to get much brighter fiddling with them without a more robust LED and current limiting in place

good looking set! are the caps still original?

What is the music at 5:50?
