Carpenter: Personal project, circa 1972

Like any 60’s teenager, I liked music. I slowly acquired some half-decent stereo equipment, including am FM tuner, turntable, cassettte player, and a Dolby noise reducer (quite the piece of audio equipment in those days), along with a set of “Smaller” Advent speakers.

Now I wanted something to house them. So one summer I brought materials for a cabinet that I designed, and spent about a month building this cabinet, shown in the photos some years later in my apartment in Montreal while a grad student at Concordia University.

Eventually I added a reel-to-reel tape recorder which sat in the lower opening record-storage section. It was using this set up that I recorded many of Rabbi Motty Berger’s radio shows!
