My name is Jordan and I hail from San Diego. I'm a youngin here at only 24. Since I was little I've always had a love for things of old. I've actively collected vintage televisions and stereo equipment since about the age of 13.

I joined the site in 2005 when I found my first tube score -a scott 233. After the warm welcome and generous help from others, I stuck around and AK has become a part of my daily life. I decided to take courses in electronics during my time in college to further my knowledge --which has helped me greatly in fixing these wonderful things.

I'm no longer the regular post whore I used to be thanks to AK. Member Fred Longworth, who owns a stereo repair shop in san diego, found me through AK and my craigslist postings. I was able to meet him in person and he gave me a job as a technician. So not only can I do what I love, I get an incredible learning experience and some money while I'm at it!

It has been a great pleasure in getting to know my AK brethren. I have had the opportunity to meet many of you in person, and it was all the better. YOu will never find a more hospitable group of people then the people here.

I hope AK sticks around for awhile. I know I will definitely not be going anywhere.

cheers :beerchug:

far out, great story :yes:

Jordan provides very knowledgeable advice freely here. Quality guy.

Jordan is a great guy. I don't know how he's done it but he has the wisdom and knowledge of guys twice his age.

And he looks even younger than 24 in person! :D

I suspect your knowledge of TT's had increased immensly since you started working with Fred. I'm glad to hear your new job has worked out well for you. :thmbsp:

Jordan, we are fortunate to have you here! I'm no longer the regular post whore I used to be thanks to AK. Member Fred Longworth, who owns a stereo repair shop in san diego, found me through AK and my craigslist postings. I was able to meet him in person and he gave me a job as a technician. So not only can I do what I love, I get an incredible learning experience and some money while I'm at it!AWESOME story, that's the very best of what AK is about! Fred is a great guy, and also a great asset to the forum! :thmbsp:

Great meeting you, Jordan!

Great intro, Jordan - I had no idea you were that young! :)

Great story, Jordan. Even reflects well on Fred!

Your posts have always struck me as very reasoned and helpful in nature. Good job!

Excellent man....I had wondered why we hadn't heard much from you. Sounds like all worked out for the best...

You're Obviously Well Regarded Here At AK, Jordan.

Jordan has always tried to help me with my dumb ass questions. Thanks!

Welcome, JP. You are a very valuable resource to AK and the local audio community. Thanks for all your contributions.

All the best,

One of these days MiMi may surprise you and Fred:) I was just out to Escondido a week or so back due to my mother being sick. I had a great plane ticket / rental car deal... I flew out of Montgomery and the nice lady at the ticket counter pointed out that my drivers license had expired last month:( Got out, but no rental car in SD as no license... So was tied to the brother... Next time...

Thanks for the comments guys. I enjoy helping with what I can. Feel free to drop by when your in the neighborhood.

It's always nice to meet more AK'ers. :yes:

Jordan, though we have crossed in threads before, I didn't know your background till now. Great intro!

Jordan and Fred are both quality guys. I enjoyed meeting them over in Fred's shop when I took my 1st piece of vintage gear in for repair. We are lucky to have them working for the cause here in San Diego.
