We always have a wide selection of secondhand turntables at Multisonics starting from under $200 but today I want to feature something special that has just come out of the workshop.
It is a Japanese Teac TN-400 from the 1970’s featuring a unique “Magnefloat” direct drive system where the platter is partially suspended by a magnetic field for smooth and silent rotation.
Presented in a substantial timber plinth it also has a replaceable arm board which on this unit is fitted with a JVC Victor UA-5045 tone arm and a JVC Z-1S cartridge with a new stylus.
From its “Electro-Touch” controls to its superb looks and sound it is a rare and impressive piece.
Serviced by us and sold with warranty it will be supplied with a step down transformer for the Australian power supply $1250
We are open Wednesday to Saturday 10 - 4 or by appointment at 631 High St. Thornbury

Philips Australia were designing some wonderful stereogram cabinets in the 1960s.
This is a rare one - a Philips “Vertigram” that we’ve only had through the shop three times in ten years.
The design here borrows from European designs like Sonab with radical upward firing speakers featuring a conical sound dispersal cone.
This unique cabinet houses a solid-state amplifer/AM radio with auxiliary input, a turntable and dual cone speakers in gloss maple with steel legs.
Serviced by us and sold with warranty $1500

We’re pretty thrilled to have another pair of the iconic Bose 901 MkII speakers come in to the shop.
When introduced in the 1970’s “Direct-Reflecting” was a radical approach to speaker design but has gone on to become an admired classic.
Each cabinet has one driver facing forward and eight firing backward to bounce sound off the wall and in to the room giving an engaging and immersive soundstage.
These have had a full strip back and timber refinished with Danish oil, replacement of speaker fabric and thorough test of each driver and overhaul of the essential Active Equalizer.
Perched on their original tulip stands they make a bold design statement and have the classic Bose sound of the era. $2500
