I should really get a prize for finding what quite possibly is the crappest ever vintage console shown on SP!
It's from the 1976 Argos catalogue and you'll find it at the bottom of the page. I've not linked to just the picture so you can have a look through the rest of the old Argos books!!!
You gotta love the fact that the mic plugs in via a 5-pin DIN!

Here's the link.

Brilliant Eddie, absolutely briliant! - I love the description 'Disco 100'......complelete with 2x 20w amps - so that'll be a 'Disco 40' then?
 
Top find Eddie, tho I do wonder why you've got/found a 1976 Argos catalogue!

Ideal for a club install!

"You gotta love the fact that the mic plugs in via a 5-pin DIN!" 

Yes,i bet the speakers are on those fiddly little 2-pin DIN plugs as well.(the one with the flat spade and round pin)

Great find Eddie,made me laugh that.
Be seeing you.

I wonder how many budding young DJ’s were brought one of those for a Christmas present. We’ll probably find one on ebay next with the seller telling us its vintage state of the art kit!

it's all just cardboard and magnets really
