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.
