    Hahah, right, mine have been torn down for over a year now. Wife is really pissed that our seldom used dinner table looks like this. Plus them hanging out in the living room.

    Hahah, well, I thought I was done with one and started the other. Then I realized I never hooked the parallel caps upto the ground. I'm not so sure I'm following the schematic correctly. Honestly I'm regretting not just paying a pro to do them.

    @VR3 , is it to late to send ya everything??? 😆

    As far as what else do I have hiding in the corner...... I have some Infinity IRS series V sitting on the back porch. But I think the FL humidity is not good for them. Too big to put in the house. They are next to some Wilson Watt Puppies and Polk SRT system.

    Before magnetic tape recorders, there were recorders using thin wire to record on.

    @Joey_V, found your next pair of speakers. Demo $260K speaks and you can be just like Uncle Kev. Call to wheel and deal but you may want to start buttering up the misses!

    Closest I got to them was at the Munich Hi-End back in 2016. Had the rare chrome finish of the Scala V2 Utopia. Large demo room but the wait was crazy to get in. Decided to move on and never heard them. Think the SDA-SRS's are big. These are massive. You could balance hookers on them, fill them with blow and still have room to spare. Heck, if you can afford $260K you can do both. Throw in a case of Dom Pérignon for good measure.

    Cool 92 year old radio. But I prefer the slightly later art-deco ones.

    Think the tubes are 92 years old?

    EDIT: I just Googled "Majestic 90,91,92" very common and not worth much.

    Being old does not necessarily mean an increase in value or worth!

    Also as in appraising, COST (PRICE) does not necessarily equal VALUE!
