For a hundred and fifty bucks, I wonder if it's any good?

    How long did it take for the Bronco to turn to dust?
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    It had extra ventilation when it left my ownership in the mid 1980s :)
    Oh, and the drivers' door was seriously considering falling off.

    Now... I must say, it did, ultimately, end up in the hands of a friend of my father's who, last I knew, was endeavoring to restore it. The drivetrain would last forever; the body, not so much.

    I wish I'd've bought myself a restored one before the prices went nutso for one.
    I did seriously consider it, more than once, and even came fairly close at one point to buying a semi-restored one at a pretty attractive price :|
