My Youtube Feed suggested this how-to-operate video on the recently released Relikcs Timbre 60's vibe wood console stereo system with turntable, wifi, and Bluetooth.

The Relikcs mfg page and a U.S. dealers page provide more info including that they start at $8,800 for the compact 48" version.

Septuagenarians like myself, and older, would likely have had something very similar in their living rooms growing up. My family's later Admiral version had a TV in it too.

I am impressed by how tastefully it is done. The minimalist controls really do look retro (perhaps more 50s than 60s) and it appears the chosen components are good quality. Sure, locating the speakers within the turntable/electronics cabinet will impact. performance. But if they did it right I bet the endorphins released by the look will easily overcome that for us old farts. But, I think my 1915 wind up wood console Victrola sounds pretty good.
