The Bedford Consultancy is the umbrella organization for the various professional activities of Lewis Frisch:

BEDFORD VINTAGE HI-FI

• MINI SYSTEMS
• BUDGET SILVER ERA COMPONENTS
• VINTAGE KLH PARTS

The Bedford Consultancy collects and recycles vintage KLH stereo systems. Partially functional KLH Model 11, Model 20 and KLH Model 24 integrated music systems (base units) offered for a nominal charge of $20.00 to $45.00 per unit + packing and shipping charges. Perfect for restoration, parts sourcing and similar DIY activities.

From time to time we may also have assorted KLH speakers in inventory for resale, as well as some as-is KLH component accessories. We also offer Gotham interconnect and speaker cables, terminated with high quality Amphenol RCA connectors, for use with KLH systems and other 70's components.

We are enthusiasts for all things Kloss. We remember and honor the extraordinary career of Henry Kloss, whose classic designs enriched so many lives with innovative and affordable audio technology.

COMING IN FALL 2014:

A new page featuring Vintage Hi-Fi mini systems and budget silver era Hi-Fi components. We have had such fun collecting 1970's era gear and putting together these wonderful and inexpensive sistems that are a great introduction to vintage low-end listening pleasure. Soon, we'll be sharing that joy with others through BEDFORD VINTAGE HI-FI.

Realistic and Lafayette mini-amps and speakers, Kenwood, Sherwood and Realistic receivers, other gems from KLH and AR. For a more contemporary playback source: Panasonic's remarkable PM01/PM03 series CD stereo systems, and Technics portable CD players.

We invite you to jump into the low end and enjoy the classic mid-century design and the truly musical listening experience that these components offer. It costs so little to experience the joy of Hi-Fi during those early years of Stereo (1958-1973).

HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND WRITING

• Authored groundbreaking papers on the social structure of colonial South Carolina (1968-1969).
• More recently authored "Rat Hunting -- A Baltimore Memoir". This extended essay, originally written in 2002, mixes Baltimore politics, urban renewal, the Oriole Way and National Bo with tales of Rattus norvegicus, the most destructive animal known to man. The result is an always entertaining yet pointed commentary on life in "Charm City", baseball and the failures of the American political system during the last quarter of the 20th Century. Illustrated copies are available from The Bedford Consultancy for a cost of $20.00 each.
