ANEX - Space Age Pedestal Music Center Stereoset

Vintage Space Age Pedestal Audio Console - ANEX (Belgium) with BSR Autochanger & Teleton W422 Japan Speakers - Mid-Century Pop Art Design (c. 1970)

Description:
This piece of Mid-Century Modern audio furniture features a sleek rectangular wooden body suspended on a distinctive 4-toe metal star-base pedestal foot.
This system represents a beautiful global hybrid of the cutting-edge European design, robust British mechanics, and warm, organic Japanese solid-state electronics.

Key Features:
The Electronics: The integrated amplifier section is equipped with vintage Sanyo Germanium power transistors, delivering a tube-like sound signature.
The Turntable: A robust BSR (Made in England) 4-speed automatic autochanger (16/33/45/78 RPM). The complex automatic mechanism has been cleaned and lubricated. It comes with a high-output Philips ceramic cartridge.
The Loudspeakers: Included is a matching pair of separate Teleton SA-1003W / W422 Japan bookshelf speakers (8W / 8 Ohms). They house high-efficiency 4-inch full-range Japanese drivers, famous for their natural midrange, making them the perfect match for the Germanium amplifier.

Condition Report:
Aesthetics: The old, worn-out white look has been revitalized. Both the main wooden console and the Teleton speaker cabinets have been artisanally hand-painted in a clean retro white finish. The old dust cover has been replaced with a well-fitting vintage replacement (National).
Functionality: The BSR turntable functions in both manual and automatic modes. The radio tuner receives signals in FM mode with great sensitivity. Some Volume potentiometers have small noise inherent to analog circuits.
