Note:
This is a very stylish piece of hi-fi history from the 60s. The Reader’s Digest Stereo 2003 with the Garrard 50 Mk II turntable was not a cheap toy back then, but a serious system for music lovers who appreciated the convenience of a record changer. A rare collector’s item in very good, restored and refurbished condition!
