I have finally found some pictures I have been looking for, and that is systems from the early days of stereo and how equipment was installed. We could learn a few things from that now.
This is a Quad system from I suspect the very early sixties.
Garrard 301 with Quad tube FM tuner and tube preamp. The tube power amps would have been tucked away out of site.
This type of layout would have been more common.
There is a Quad FM tuner and two Quad 22 tube preamps. Again the power amps are out of site. There is a Garrard 301 and a tape deck. I can't be sure what it is, but I suspect a Ferograph or Vortexion.
The reason that there are two Quad 22 preamps, is because the Quad 22 by use of a rear plug in adaptor could become a tape preamp. So I suspect the left Quad 22 was for the tape deck and the right one for LP and radio. This way the tape deck could be used for recording from the radio or turntable.
That sort of style was common, which I duplicated in my turntable case as a "nod" to a past era.
That links the system to a past age. There are remarkably few pictures from that era on the Internet.
