LX 747 (1957)

Almost nothing is documented about the LX 747. The one place it is clearly named suggests it wasn't an LX audio component at all. Audio-Collection (August 1957, p.29) lists "LX.747" in its alphabetical artist index under Sir Thomas Beecham, beside Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture (Fingal's Cave), Op. 26. That makes it a classical record catalog number, not a receiver or speaker. The scan is fragmentary, but the layout of the entry suggests the disc may have coupled Wagner's Tannhäuser Overture on the reverse. The neighboring entry LX.704 covers Beecham's Finlandia. The page's columns cover 78, 45, and 33⅓ rpm, so the exact format of the 747 isn't clear from the OCR.

The archive's corpus also associates a 1977 HiFI-Stereo page (p.61) with this model. It has a receiver specification block reading FM sensitivity 1.9 µV, capture ratio 1.5 dB, and $449.95. That scan never names the LX 747, so the chassis isn't attached to it here. Beyond those two fragments, the record is bare.
