Orange DJ turntables - anyone ever seen them?

Post by Mr_blue » Tue Nov 29, 2016 1:08 am

Hello all, I'm new to the group, so please forgive me if this has already been covered.

Have any of you ever seen the vintage Orange dj setup seen in the famous old catalog pic? The one with all the gear outside on the grass. Been on the
hunt for a few years. Any idea what the proper name for this unit is?

Thanks! Long time Orange user and DJ.

Can't say I've seen them mentioned on here. If no one else here has and you find some info please post!

Well, if you go into the serial numbers board you'll see my scans of '71 and '73 catalogs and all you need to see is in there.

There was a topic a while ago on them....

Plus I found this picture somewhere of a very early turntable - looks like it says Orange Matamp:

There is a lot of stuff that needs to be reissued! Especially the t-shirts!!

Interesting that the legs on the Orange turntables look like they're from a Vox organ.

Here is a Vox unit for comparison, not the same except for the legs:
