About imageAbout image
Mid-Century Sound started as a hobby in the UK 9 years ago when my wife sent me a photo of a vintage stereo console and asked if I had an idea what this cool antique was? It looked vaguely familiar and after some research, it was identified as a Blaupunkt "Arkansas" Radiogram (as they are called in the UK) and it was the exact same model that we used to listen to in my parent's lounge!
Although I was thousands of miles away in the US, we bought it and Numero Uno is still with us today playing away in our living room. Since then I have restored and sold 350 plus consoles and although I have always had an electronics background while working in the film industry, hunting down consoles for restoration and diagnosing and repairing them is now my passion.
If it is also yours, let us know!

Cheers, Steve

 This is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made! My wife and I love the way it looks and sounds. Steve did an amazing job bringing this console to its former glory. He was a pleasure to work with and answered the numerous questions I had throughout the process. We've been constantly listening to music since the stereo arrived and we are looking forward to the many years that it's sounds will be filling our home!

 This is an incredible piece! Not only was the console in pristine condition, not only does it sound amazing, but Steve went above and beyond finding a way to ship it to me after we ran into complications. I am so grateful and could not recommend highly enough!

 The console is truly amazing and continues to exceed my expectations. Everything was as described and beyond. In addition to the unit and speakers themselves being in incredible shape, Steve's refurbishment of both electronics and cabinetry were top notch. The sound is period-specific…crisp highs, realistic mids and warm bass. As I’ve referred to friends about it, ‘a silky-smooth sounding time capsule’. Steve was great to deal with, friendly, helpful, and patient. Went above and beyond to ensure the transaction and delivery were exceptionally smooth. Highly recommend the shop and the owner!

 We arrived home from France to find the console even better than you described. We cannot thank you enough for the excellent customer service. It sounds great and if you ever come across another NiViCo, please let me know as we would like one for our living room!

 This item was as displayed on the listing and I’m even more in love with it now that I have it! Steve was great and delivered himself and one small bit had come off and he found it and promptly mailed it to me. All in great working order! So amazing! Thank you!!!
