    major score for someone here in SoCal

    A friend listed his single owner Sansui G22000 WITH AMPLIFIER for $2000 on FB marketplace. I saw it and tried to call him but it was too late -- he had accepted an offer and the guy was coming to pick it up. Lance is a gentleman and would never go back on his word, so someone got a pretty...

    Marantz 8B

    10b is the pinnacle of tuner design and engineering honestly, on par with Sequerra Model 1 and follow-on tuners. The scope is a nice to have especially in mid-city environment with multipath. Signal strength is useful as well but thats easily done on a meter. The sound quality of 10b is amazing...

    Replica Marantz 7

    I talked by phone with Kevin at VAC in 1996, as I wanted to buy a rear panel assembly for an original model 7, with the silkscreen lettering and the rca plugs. We talked for 30 minutes roughly, I explained what I was doing (restoring my fire damaged original model 7) and he very kindly sold me...

    I had that same Halli back in the day -- hours and hours listening to various broadcasts from around the world-- Remember the 'numbers broadcast?" A series of numbers read out over SW. I still wonder what that was all about......

    Tell me why this dumpy little boombox is worth so much...

    I still have my Sanyo M9994 : with the original microphones! I bought it in 1979 as I recall : I think it might be worth something to the right buyer. I replaced the belts on the cassette player about 2 years ago, it works fine still! It just hangs out in a bag under my bench though..!
