You nailed it. I looked at other images and that is it. Thanks.
From what I gather it’s nothing too fancy but built with decent quality. Many musicians not being audiophiles, I’m sure it would have filled the bill quite nicely for Robert Plant. Then again, it could be what was available for a staged photo. Who knows?
There’s a Jimmy page video on there too. That inspired me to purchase the CD for Link Wray and the Wraymen. Their first album. It’s been remastered and has a bunch of additional tracks and a 16 page booklet. The album contains a track entitled Rumble. It’s the only acoustic song that’s ever been banned from the radio.
I really doubt that’s even his system. It’s probably a publicity picture or something for a magazine or ad or something. It would be interesting to know. It just doesn’t look like the kind of house or style he would live in back then. At least not from all the old pictures I’ve seen from that era. Would be in to know where that picture came from.
It looks like this is a picture of him revisiting his childhood home and the room he grew up in. I agree that's a Pioneer shortwave receiver, the rest of the the stuff is generic and hard to identify.
I’m guessing that he doesn’t have much preserved hearing so he probably isn’t too finicky about his gear. It’s to bad that despite making all that money he doesn’t seem to be able to afford a listening room chair
