I have a late 70's/early 80's Sony receiver/turntable unit my father bought when I was a kid. He wanted it to look more like an expensive receiver, so he removed the turntable (which was pretty much junk) and made a nice top out of wood to match the side panels. Have an old Technics SL-5300. The old Sony speakers are gone, so I'll probably build my own cabinets for fun.
We also used to have an old console, and my father loved to tinker. So he somehow wired small colored bulbs from some Christmas lighting past the crossover. This would give a really cool light effect when music played. Don't know what the inspiration was, but that was over 35 years ago...
