What the? Early attempt at stereo reproduction? 1953.
Slowly working my way through these fascinating adverts. This one also puzzled me; quite why they used two cartridges to get stereo, when Alan Blumlein had patented orthogonal stereo in 1931, is a bit of a mystery.
Blumlein was a genius, sadly killed whilst developing radar during WWII, at age 38, with128 patents to his name.

D'oh!
Modern advert, old receiver.
I'm sure the Marantz aficionados will identify it in a jiffy...

You can have the reciever, I'll take what it's sitting on

Flip that Paragon and you could buy a bunch of those receivers.

Not familiar with Paragon (or much vintage stuff, really; the Marantz is pretty distinctive, though).
I was thinking more about Uma, although she's not sitting on it it that photo, unlike one of the other ads in the series...

This caught my attention on a Japanese auction site.

Phew: all done.
I have only two things found in these pages (or links therefrom)
A Sony Walkman 2, with all original accessories (probably the box, too somewhere). Bought as 'B' grade from a mate who worked at Sony, Feltham, in 1982. The headphones are still excellent.
An Aiwa tape deck from a component system, bought when I was a student. Not used in 20 years, probably. Not working, and not worth reviving...
Oh, and various cassette tapes...
