    It wasn't that one but my very first stereo system had a Scott receiver and a pair of Scott speakers. All hand me downs from my Mother, along with an unknown TT. For an 8 year old kid, I was in hog heaven.

    The seed was planted when I heard my uncle Tommy's system earlier that day. I listened to this little bitty tube amp powering a pair of homemade Klipsh Klipschorns over LP and I fell in love with what I heard.

    Came home and begged my parents for something, anything they had that I could use to set up a stereo system.

    Keep in mind, this was back in 1978. When you didn't watch a NASCAR race, you listened to it on the radio because it wasn't on TV. If memory serves, they only televised the big ones. Maybe Talladega and Daytona and I believe it was only available on ABC's Wide World of Sports programming.

    Yep I noticed about 5 yrs. ago that the round super tweeters had went into outer space for price. I wish I still had mine. Originally they were like $20 a piece new. I would use them reflecting backwards on top of my speakers.

    They follow the standard hipster/collector script. Only the Japanese-made 40-1310 command the highest prices.

    I acquired mine in 1977, I'm fairly certain they were of the Japanese manufacturing. I seem to remember most of the drivers I bought had the "made in Japan" label at the time. To my father everything made in japan was junk. Boy Howdy they were affordable though.

    So, the RV show was in town today....so the wife and I went out on a date to go check them out. We had never been to one before and we are not in the market right now but wanted to get our learn on.

    Lots of walking, lots of steps, some VERY nice rigs. One of the buses was $323,000.00 (sale/show price). It's incredible, some of these RV's. Some of them, you walk up 5 or 6 steps onto the main floor and then you step up another 4 steps to the "Master suite" or 2nd BR/LR area. It's amazing what they can pack into these things.....yet still not make you feel as if you are in (basically) a "trailer".

    Our favorite one (within our budget....or for what we would be willing to spend on one) was this one. 37' long, 1BR. Probably the best layout we saw at the show. Zero wasted space and well appointed. Nicely built too. Here are some photos of it...

    If you have never been to one of these shows, it's cool to look at what's available and it made for a fun afternoon off the beaten path.

    All it needs is a side-mounted urinal and it's the perfect complement for a mancave.
