AW15 in Westminster Cabinet for Sale

Hi all. I am selling my restored AW15 and Westminster cabinet. Both chassis have been gone through electronically and play quite well with excellent sensitivity.

"These are actually tube sockets repurposed for this use. As such there are 2 versions. The plug is a 6 pin "large" and the socket is 6 pin "standard". Had the same problem myself. Plugs are a little hard to find but…"

Plug and Play FM tuner

Hi all. I thought I would share this FM tuner I found on Amazon. It's works quite well plugged into the aux jack as is. it can also be jumpered for mono output. Tough to beat for $ 25. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4AHISZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1SteveSee More
