1. ummm, it looks like fun. I saw the "t" word in there, though -- soiled state.
2. Yes, Pumpkinman, it is a true fact. We spun you around a few times, blindfolded, so that you could not disclose the actual spatial location, however.
back when Radio Shack had real gear and not phones and RC cars.... The old Radio Shack Super Tweeters sold for 10.00 each I see them all the time selling for 100.00-150.00 each now.
for anyone who (still) might not know of these two sites, but who might also pine for the days when Allied Radio & Radio Shack (yes) sold McIntosh & Marantz, here's something to do for the next few days
Altec 802D 1" compression driver, a "bored out" JBL 1" to 2" throat adaptor, a 2" Community 90 x 60 degree horn (model may, or may not, be BRH-90), topped off with a somewhat-less-vintage Fostex T90A horn 'supertweeter' (and padded, first order XO).
I wouldn't worry too much about leaving it on if the P/S electrolytics have been replaced. If they have -- yeah, I wouldn't leave home with it turned on.
BTW, I concur. I'd rather listen to high-quality FM mono than mediocre FM stereo.
I did, after many years, actually break down and go stereo last year, though.
naah. It does sound a little better than the Sherwoods, though. It betters the Sherwoods in the bass (qualitatively and quantitatively). Otherwise, pretty much a toss-up.
I cannot afford any of the holy grail tuners. If I could, I'd have an HH Scott 310E or a REL Precedent.
The absolute best sounding tuner I've heard with my own ears is a Scott 310E owned by one of the northern New England tube hifi gurus.

I think (??) it is an SX-9000; if so, then, yes, it does:
At or near the top of its line, early 1970s

I thought this was cool. 1940's style and technology.
ahem -- sorry.
Now, where was I?
Oh, yeah.
This is a serious hodgepodge, but, on the average, vintage enough, I think, to qualify for posting here
