Pretty and solid fixed lens rangefinder from the mid 60's. The lens is a usefully fast F1.8.
I sold this one several years ago but currently own another...minus box and papers. They are nice cameras.
As a side issue, this shot was taken a few days after I moved out of my marital home, on the bed I slept on for just over four months around the middle of 2005. I shot it on a very battered 2MP Canon Digital Ixus, at its maximum image size of 1600x1200....looking at it now, in 2012, I see proof of the irrelevance of the pixel war to most aspects of actual photo quality, even though this minature (for the time) camera was never state-of-the-art.
One of several sets I lusted after as a boy, partly because it was highly rated by "Which?" magazine, to which my parents subscribed, this has a big elliptical speaker and quite a powerful amp for a portable.
At least partially brought up to date connecting to a Bluetooth enabled system utilising a nifty "Taotronics" BT sender unit.
Note that the MD remote is from a much later unit.

SYNTHESIS company is a dynamic, fast growing company that looks to the future and, compared with other companies in this field, has been able to anticipate the metamorphosis of the various success factors in the Hi-Fi market.
The company is now among the most important and best appreciated companies in this sector, and this has been thanks to the intuition shown in foreseeing the importance of design and communications, as well as to the capacity to identify already well-known partners, thus enabling it to successfully penetrate foreign markets.
Quality, communications and distribution; a three-dimensional model that guides the development of our company both in Italy and abroad, and allows it to be in perfect tune with the market's latest developments.
From its foundation in 1992, the "Synthesis Art in Music ®" has had as its main objective the design of equipment whose ultimate aim is not just sound reproduction, but also to offer a product that represents refined elegance and musicality all rolled into a single element.
De Punt was de plek, waar Benthuizerstraat (links) en Bergweg (rechts) samenkomen. In het gebouw waar nu Correct zit, waren vroeger de bioscopen Transvalia en Victoria gevestigd.

You wouldn't want to drop one of these on your foot!
A real heavyweight quality job, displaying the much underutilised "time stamp" function from a recording I made from the radio some years ago.
Taken for Macro Mondays, this weeks theme: Crime. CableCos are criminals. Would like to ditch and just stick with a 50MB connection to the net, but Kristin isn't down with the media center MacMini and antenna. *side note: this bill is from last year, it has since gone up (went paperless)
Immerse yourself in your music with the MCD85 SACD/CD Player. The MCD85 with its open chassis design is not only a serious piece of music hardware, but it shows that you are serious about your love of music. With the great success of our similarly retro styled MC275 and MC1502 Vacuum Tube Amplifiers, MA252 and MA352 Integrated Amplifiers, and the warm reception of the recently introduced MC830 Solid State Amplifier and C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier that also have retro touches, it's clear that many people want their home stereo system not to blend in, but instead to be distinctive looking. To be put on display. To be a conversation starter. To make the statement that "A Serious Music Lover Lives Here." The MCD85 does all that. And more.
The MCD85 can play store bought SACDs and CDs as well as music from homemade CD or DVD Data Discs. Numerous file formats can be played from these discs including AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD (up to DSD128), FLAC, MP3, WAV, and WMA. The USB Audio input supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz, and can be used to stream digital music from a computer or other digital storage device. There's also two coax and two optical digital inputs that support PCM signals up to 192kHz.
MCD85 SACD/CD Player with a pair of matching MC830 Solid State Amplifiers and C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier along with XR100 Speakers. All units sold separately.
Conversion of the digital data stored on the discs or in the digital music stream into an analog signal for playback is performed by a quad balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit/192kHz Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Four DAC channels are dedicated to the left audio channel, and four to the right audio channel to ensure truly exceptional stereo sound reproduction.
Both balanced and unbalanced fixed analog stereo outputs are available to connect the MCD85 to your preamplifier, integrated amplifier, and other home audio system components. Thanks to its narrower width and balanced outputs, it can be placed close to your listening position for ease of loading discs, with long balanced cables connecting it to your audio system without fear of signal loss.
The MCD85 employs 2x read speed, meaning all discs placed in its sturdy die-cast tray are read at higher speeds, allowing their data to be stored in a buffer memory for better error correction and tracking. The tray features a new, custom front beveled nose to match the angle of the chassis and provides smooth and quiet disc handling. Disc reading is performed in the high-quality disc mechanism by a twin laser optical pickup that uses a single objective lens with two laser units, with each employing different wavelengths that are optimized for SACD and CD playback. Power Control and data ports allow for seamless integration with other McIntosh home audio system components.
A die-cast aluminum name badge is affixed to each side of the chassis. The front, top and rear of the chassis is polished to a mirror finish – just like on the aforementioned MC275, MC1502, MA252, MA352, MC830 and C8 – making the MCD85 a welcome and matching addition to any system using those models. But the MCD85 is not limited to systems using just those models as it has all the necessary connections and McIntosh design traits to fit into any McIntosh home audio system. The MCD85 features a black glass front panel with direct LED backlighting for improved appearance, silver trim, an illuminated logo, and rotary control knobs. Contact your local dealer to learn more.
Sonus Faber is an Italian designer of handcrafted speakers and other high-end audio equipment based in Veneto, Italy. The name Sonus Faber is derived from a Latin phrase, literally translated as “handcrafted sound,” which makes for a perfect description of the products manufactured by this company. Sonus Faber was founded by Franco Serblin in 1983. Franco had remarkable taste and engineering ability and is regarded as one of the greats in the industry. His ideas are influencing the company’s philosophy until this day.
The "squidgy" capstan belt has just dropped off the capstan without any encouragement!
Unfortunately the transport has to be removed from the chassis and rotated through 90 degrees to allow access to the parts which need to be removed in order to replace the belt.
The capstan motor desperately needed some lubrication (it was squealing horribly), this was done, and the motor now runs almost silently again.
