C58 Delphi

[Coolmac55]

Hello,
Today, I picked up another C58 Delphi and noticed it's a bit different than my first. I have a receipt dated 1968 for my first one, and it was sold used back then. The one I just got, has a metal ID plate with the model and serial number on it. Also; it has two slotted cutouts in the center section of the 6" wide backboard, a few inches below the top. My C58 bought used in 68, has no metal plate, and no cutouts on the back.

Does anyone know when the cutouts were added, or removed, and if all the C58s had metal ID plates?

Delphi sold used in 1968: No metal plate, and no signs that one was ever on the cabinet. No vent cutouts on the backboard. Back is stained dark, near black. Inside is stained brown.

New Delphi: Metal ID plate. Cutouts on backboard. Light brown stain on back. Walnut veneer on inside panels and bottom.
Can we date these buy the differences?

I have 1962 C58 Delphi Cabinet with
Ampex 2000 reel to reel
Fisher T600 120 watt stereo
Garrard lab 80 turntable
with matching C50 Olympus JBL speakers

My grandfather had this custom made and assembled in 1962 and I am interested in selling. If you could give me an idea where to begin to give it a home where it can be appreciated. Everything still works and the speakers are original and sound great.

All three cabinets are in excellent condition with glass tops.

Call or text is the best way to contact me. Jerry @ (248) 535-4229

Feel free to pass this information on to someone who may be interested.
Thank you very much

When you say "assembled", did he have it custom-built by a cabinet maker or did he simply assemble the electronics in a JBL factory-built cabinet? Pictures might be helpful here and the difference is far from trivial when you're asking questions of value.

the Delphi c58 was built by JBL and equipment was installed by Point Electronics in Grosse Pointe Mi.

Interesting - its probably best to keep it all in a single thread to get the maximum number of folks viewing and commenting on it.

The Lansing Hermitage Forum doesn't have a huge membership these days -
but there is a loyal core of readers -
it may just take a few days for everyone to pop by and have a look.
So, feedback may take a little while - just be patient!
