Some General Musings While Working on a NuTone Model 2071 Stereo Music Intercom Receiver
The NuTone Model 2071 Stereo Music Intercom System was the 2nd Stereo Model that NuTone designed. It was available along with the original 2400 Stereo Music System. The 2071 is a fairly rare model. The cost for Stereo Systems was always considerably higher than a mono system, especially when you consider that most homes may only have 2 or 3 pairs of Stereo Stations, having single mono stations in the smaller rooms. The 2071 in this Video had 2 previous repairs by other shops during the past 40+ years . Much of the work done was terrible and I did my best to put it back together and have it work correctly.
The NuTone Model 2057 / 2058 was the top of the line Radio Intercom in 1962 (except for the 2400 series Stereo Music Intercom)
The 2057 features both AM and FM Radio with room-to-room Intercom. It could also have a NuTone Door Chime connected to the Master Station which allowed the Door Chime to be heard throughout the home.
The 2057 is a 3-wire system and there were several different choices for Remote Stations:
Model 2025 - 4" Standard inside Speaker
Model 2026 - 5" Full Range Inside Speaker
Model 2020B - 8" Hi-Fidelity Inside Speaker
Model 2006 - Entry Door Station
The 2057 features a 4 Vacuum Tube Design with a Transistorized Intercom Circuit
Power consumption was rated at 55 Watts - There is no output power rating, which is probably around 15 watts
The Retail price in 1962 was $151.50 which included the wall housing, but it did not included and remote stations or wiring.
A typical 6 station system would cost around $245.00 plus installation
In this Video (part 1) I do a brief overview of the 2057 Master Station and test the vacuum tubes in preparation for a complete rebuild
