Charlie's stereo system at home, maybe.

The Late Great Charlie Watts's stereo that he bought from Louis Armstrong, so the person posting claims. Wonder if this photo is authentic and what the source is. It could just as easily be any random person’s gear. Anyone know anything about this?

Don't know. Dave Clark's 1960s home system was on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

According to the Louis Armstrong House Museum facebook page, this claim is false.
Charlie did NOT buy Louis Armstrong's stereo equipment.

Unfortunately, fake news.
Yes, this is Louis Armstrong's stereo system.
And this stereo system is still in the "Louis Armstrong Home Museum" in NYC :

Facebook. I think it was in a group called Charlie Watts Appreciation or something like that.
