RE: Can you ID stereo from 1974 movie "The Conversation"?

Hi, mjcmt. Turntable appears to be an Empire Troubadour 598 with
an Empire 990 arm. (1969) The amp appears to be Push-Pull KT-66.
That would possibly make it close to the D.T.N. Williamson classic
circuit. All Octal tubes. I want to say it is a kit. It looks awfully
familiar. The tape deck appears Japanese possibly made for Radio
Shack as Realistic brand. It would have been more cool to have a
Viking of Minneapolis tape deck - perhaps the precursor to the
model 88 compact which was a stereo 1/4 track machine. The one
shown appears mono. Speaker: home made 2-way. Appears acoustic
suspension. Can't see any reflex port. Tweeter looks like one
of the Electrovoice units of the period. "The Conversation" is
superb from every point of view. I love his lab/workshop with
attendant audio goodies abounding.
