Moderato

Moderato 6 11 18 F (1965)

This console was my very first one. Despite the years, the condition is quite good, and the restoration has been relatively light. Equiped with a PE turntable of an excellent quality, listening black disks is a delight. The Alnico loudspeakers have an excellent output and assist perfectly the audio section with its EL 84. A classic assembly which has been well-tried and always charms.
