If any one has any information as to the year or model # or any other info I would appreicate it.
my parents had a similar model they bought when they were married but ours had doors on it, one door revealed a television set the other door revealed turntabe and am/fm radio,it too was an olympic the year was 1958.. i found a picture of one on here.. the legs are the same, and the painting is the same style also the cloth on the inside to cover the speakers is the same as yours ( a hard mesh type black plastic with gold sqiggle type lines running through it.. dont know how to down a pic on here of it??
Do you know of a website or where I can get any information on what year or model # this might be?
I have almost the identical model (from my parents). I am trying to figure out what to do with it! I hope you see this.
I think the model number on this one might be 8611. See the images of an identical unit posted by DanGibs here: https://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=174707
It was listed on Billboard's Phonograph Directory from September 1960 so it must predate that. https://books.google.com/books?id=LSAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=olympic+dual+stereo+model+8611&source=bl&ots=QRx52BZ48r&sig=ACfU3U2pYiPSqf1g5aq_rRFtIQBV8pVcwA&hl=en&ppis=_e&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwisqvCK1-XoAhUHZN8KHdreBM8Q6AEwDHoECAwQKQ#v=onepage&q=olympic%20dual%20stereo%20model%208611&f=false
I have a very similar one and I've been searching everywhere without luck for more details on mine! It's definitely in the same line though, same style and art.
