Thanks!
I have a (tube) Braun HM-5 cabinet designed by Herbert Hirche, 1957. I'll post a proper photo as soon as I get the radio chassis back from repair.

Does anyone happen to know...
Does anyone happen to know what the Willy Rizzo Commander System cost back in the 70s or even how many were made?

Hi Starline
I was thinking Willy Rizzo's site possibly might know.
Also, the "audioholics" website has some of the friendliest enthusiasts I've encountered in any subject.

I did email them a few years...
I did email them a few years back about any general info or history behind the piece and they did not bother to respond.
I find it arrogant but it's very common when making queries online.I was actually not surprised to get no response from the Rizzo site.
I assume if it's not a potential sale many just don't bother.
By the way they had re-released the Commander System with modern connectivity on that site at time I enquired.
Thanks for the links and I will check out audioholics.

I have an Electrohome roll-top with steel legs like the one pictured above. I purchased it new in 1968 in Sacramento, CA. It's in my garage now, but I haven't been able to part with it. It's so unique. The roll top portion needs repair because I foolishly placed some heavy boxes on it. I haven't been able to locate the user's manual, but I know I have it somewhere. It's a truly beautiful stereo and was always a conversation piece because it was so unique.

I own a Circa 701C like the one pictured above as well--sadly someone gutted it's electronics years ago and tried to make it a guitar amplifier. I have a dream of updating the electronics and fabricating a new aluminum control panel face with dials and controls scavenged from another Electrohome stereo. I'm thinking a Raspberry Pi-based tuner/phono system with tube amps driving the speakers.
