Only had time to put a plug on it and power ot up so far and as yoy can see it does power up , Hopefully it will work , If it does and sounds half decent with my 4 JBL L1's or 4 Quad 57's ,this may be going to the Kegworth show next year , Something funkey and different :D

Also came with the instruction book :)

That looks amazing Al - want one!

[walpurgis]

All you need now are some CD4 records and an X-1 cartridge to play them with. :)

And a nice quadraphonic R2R... :stalks:

...or try Ambisonics? The only set-up that worked scientifically.
Full set-up included speaker ABOVE you!

Oh yes, very cool - you’ve got to love the ‘Quatermass’ style displays if nothing else :).

I have a quadrophonic SACD and reel tape of The Doors, this is exactly what I've been looking for!

Got pink Floyds dark side,wish you were here and atom heart mother on quadraphonic blu ray,atom heart mother is by far the best of these,the whole album makes more sense.

That is smashing... I'm well in to that.

I'd just keep it on... it's cool

That's a nice looking bit of kit, I look forward to reading about how it sounds.

I notice it has 2 sockets for headphones, how would that work?

There were several 'quadraphonic' headphones around at the time. They all used two stereo jacks.

Used to own a quad system back in day. Was a technics if memory serves. Was great at time.
I've seen one quite like that, was a jvc. You could adjust width and depth of sound as well as phase.
Cool gear

In the book it refers to 4 channel headphones :scratch:

Last night I had time to connect up a pair of Royd book shelf speakers , turn it on select radio and tune it into 5 live , sounded very nice , signal strength meter works as well , Later today I will connect up a TT through the phono stage and see what happens , Looking promising :)

.... or 4 Quad 57's ,this may be going to the Kegworth show next year ,

Cool :wowzer:

You're going to need a large room if you do take 4 x '57

Old memories; I saw the Floyd in Liverpool Philharminic Hall, when they used a 'Joystick' to send the sound around the room-late 60s.

Would that be this night? https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pink-floyd/1969/liverpool-philharmonic-hall-liverpool-england-33d76cad.htm
If so I’m exceptionally jealous,the man and the journey is one of my favourite sets ever,I once had a bootleg of that night but it wasn’t a great recording,65~72 live shows were much better than what was to come post dark side.

The 'Joystick' was called the "Azimuth Coordinator" by the Floyd. Yes, Floyd in the late '60s - Happy Days.
