Apollo 711 Record Player and Stereo ca. 1970

Obviously inspired and impressed by the eminent 20th century event of the first successful manned mission to the moon on July 20th, 1969 the Canadian Consumer Electronics producer Electrohome in Kitchener, Ontario launched its “Apollo” series of stereo combos and record players in 1970, one year after the event. The series in 1972 was renamed “Saturn”. Four versions, with/without an AM/FM receiver, and with/without a tulip shaped floor pedestal, were produced. The stereos came with two spherical black anodized metal eyeball speakers on various own stands. The turntable is made by renowned BSR (Birmingham Sound Reproducers) Limited of Great Britain, one of the most prolific and experienced turntable manufacturers. It plays 12” 10” or 7” records with 16, 33, 45 or 78 rpm. It works as an automatic record changer too. It has a flip-flop cartridge with separate needles for 33/45 and 78 rpm records. It has a headphone jack (on the operation panel) and 4 jacks for tape in and out (on the bottom). So, you can connect other audio equipment like a tuner, a tape deck, a CD player, mp3 player or iPod to the amplifier.

First on the Sunday vinyl playlist:

My only Record Store Black Friday purchase: Miles Davis - (George Gershwin's) Porgy and Bess under the orchestral direction of Gil Evans

180 gram, in mono, individually numbered, for those interested n that sort of detail.

There's just something about a little Miles Davis with a cup of coffee to start the day off right. I'd not been to the record store in ages; it was great to be back amongst the vinyl.
