Majestic (Grigsby Grunow) 50/52
#15

MrFixr the shape of the cabinet is what caught my eye too. Paid a reasonable to me $50. If I would have known the weight of this thing as Terry says, it’s built like a brick privy, I wouldn’t have bid on it. I won’t be moving it around a lot and it’s probably one of the hardest chassis to work on that I’ve come across just because of all the shielding and so many major components are sealed in armor but I’m committed to finishing it. It has a decent size speaker and push-pull 45s so should sound great. Thanks Richard on the stringing comment!
