    Either you are using Trey's camera or my eyes are getting really bad....What little piece of history have you acquired for such a meager sum?

    Yeah, pic is off the ebay listing... Here's the link...
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5727726938&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

    Just one of many of Henry Kloss' Advent lines developed to fund his front projection TV vision. Henry was among the first to see the potential impact of Dolby Noise reduction upon the home recording market. For better or for worse, it was the openig salvo in the cassette tape revolution.

    Understand the "no's"... piece has no practical value, although it is likely functional. Will be a wall display piece in the 2 ch room, along with several old tone arms, record players (not turntables) and other vintage gear turned memorabilia. If nothing else, they should help break up reflections.

    I like your idea of hanging non-functioning audio gear on the wall as display items in a dedicated 2 ch room. I ran the idea and she pronounced me (and thus by association you) a dork. Just so you know.

    I did actually mean "I ran that idea by my wife"... but I guess you figured out the gist. Just FYI in case you thought I meant that I ran it by my mom, my dog etc...

    Rock on.

    For those who wouldn't pay $22, how 'bout $53.30? :D

    Now THAT is a cool piece.

    Better not 'show off' too much man, certain folks might start giving you a little competition.

    mh,
    My usual one (an old CB "handle") was taken when I registered and "that Who song" just happened to be spinnin' at the time... and the rest is history...

    My former CB handle would seem somewhat politically incorrect at this late date (especially now that I live in Massachusetts).
