The Great Receiver Giveaway

A local collector gave away 60 receivers yesterday. He placed a simple CL ad which elgato posted here. I arrived to see guys scurrying away with receivers tucked under their arms. They were simply sitting on the curb waiting for new owners.

I picked up a few pieces, which by itself would be a respectable collection. No doubt If I had gotten there earlier, I would have been swamped with stuff.

BTW, I am happy to report he is doing well and still an avid stereo enthusiast.

Just wondering............

Perhaps it should read "A local collectors wife gave away 60 receivers while he was away buying another one.............."
 
That vintage luxman in the second and third picture is a nice score. Those retractable face plates are very cool. I passed on one of these (I did take the MX-100 Luxman power amp that day though) and I really regret not buying it.

I met the wife and she seems very accepting of the HOBBY. I don't think she is the catalyst but I suspect she is much happier.
 
Congrats again Sam! That is awesome! I would have liked to have been there just to meet the guy. Seems like an interesting person and a class act.
 
and I had to leave SoCal.....

the pain....

I just know there is something special about those Plus series components.... they remind me a lot of my Nikko gear. All three at once.... more pain! OK, envy!

I can't imagine why he isn't an Aker already, shoot... he should be AKer of the year material me thinks!

Why haven't you invited him to join us friendly folk, Sam or Njord ?

I absolutely agree!:yes: What a great guy. :tresbon: If what he did isn't karma, I sure don't know what is!

I could make a much stronger comment here but I will refrain from it to avoid a disagreement.
 
I'm inclined to disagree.

And, since this is degenerating into a discussion of a former member's status on AK, this thread is closed.
