Fleetwood Stereo tube receiver |
I
had this receiver in my stuff. It was very dusty (probably bought like
this long time ago). This unit was probably installed in large wood
stereo cabinet, popular and late 50's and the 60s. According to tube
brands, few were from "Fleetwood". A Canadian brand so after a quick
net search, I'm more then sure that it's indeed from Fleetwood.
The dial plastic is missing so I had to make guesses with the front
buttons. Selector have 3 positions. Phono (as there's rear phono input
plugs, AM radio, and something else. Could be Short wave but can't
confirm yet. On the photo, the unit was powered up and playing an AM
station.

While cleaning it up, as the tube numbers weren't engraved on this unit (like
some are), I've used a marker and marked them on there proper
emplacement. 6AQ5 output tubes can drive 4.5 watts of music according
to specs.
