Astor HiFi






This one used to serve as an amplifier for an electric guitar. Play your CDs and digital tunes through the input channels (standard plugs).  A nice useable piece like this adds style to your living room and keeps the vinyl spinning freely.  Also picks up broadcast on stormy nights when transistor jobs won’t or digital broadcast drops out.


The Astor has a well-weighted turntable, auto-change and takes an after-market stylus (smooth sounds of Stan Getz going around here – plenty of Dave Brubeck in the cabinet).  Radiograms do take some space but they do it nicely, and you’ll find wood-tones to go with your interiors.  Whatever you play – even techno sides – will sound great through this split 30 watt amp. Impress your friends with hi-fi from the past, for the future. 
Purchased: $25
Repaired: $145 (Two valves, switch, capacitors, diamond stylus)
