During the past few months I had to live without my daily dose of analog music as my house was under major repairs that forced me to pack up all gear and keep it away. But thankfully the job was completed last month and the system is singing again, although I have not completed some of the system related projects.
Here are a few pics.
The overall view.

This section shall hold a Garrard 301 and a Lenco L75 in custom plinths. The projects are underway, meanwhile I have installed my spare Lenco on the 301 mounting board with the SME 3012 and commenced the show. The cartridge is a Shure M3D with my own retipping job.
The SS amplification is handled by a Superscope R1270 receiver that can drive two pairs of speakers at 35 WPC. Superscope were the owners of Marantz for some time and this receiver is from that era. The amp section in this receiver is Marantz 1070. The thermionic amplification is taken care of by the Quad IIs for PP and Akai 1710 for SE. The Superscope preamp supports both these power amps. I have a Quad 22 pre, but it is better to use a modern pre amp to get the best out of these classics.
The vintage towers are custom built and date from 1963. The original configuration was 3way with Goodmans drivers, I changed that with Jensen DL220 co-axial drivers. The fullrange bookshelfs atop the towers are designed and developed by forum member vktarun and me. Next to the towers are my Tannoy LSU IIILz. The cabs have been refurbed and awaiting driver reinstallation. These Tannoys are very unique, the cone size is 10, but the VCs are bigger than even 15 MGs. Sitting proudly in the chairs are the latest to join my fleet, the Altec 604c Duplex. They have no baffle or box to support them at the moment, but have already shown that they shall rule the speaker kingdom here for quite some time.
Thanks in advance to all forum members who go through this post.
Best Regards,
