I think audio buffs are more weird than camera buffs. The thought of having
both embodied in one person might just redefine weird. In your case, Walter,
if we add in gun totin and SUV usin to the mix it's way over the top. In the
movie Jaws, they defined the Great White as the perfect eating machine. I
know most of your stuff is old but you might just may "have been" the
perfect spending machine. I'd bet your local retailers are anxiously
anticipating your descent into senility. It's nice to know you enjoy your
stuff. /jmac

The system in our bedroom includes a Dynakit PAS-3X preamp,
Dynakit Stereo 70 amp, and AR-3a speakers. I have retired the
Dynatuner Stereomatic Multiplex FM-3 and replaced it with an
AudioSource AM/FM tuner, mainly for convenience and not because
the FM-3 doesn't still work quite well. All the Dynakit stuff was
built by me in 1967-68.
And I still, for some unknown reason, have the sales slip for the
AR's and the Dynatuner. In October of 1967, the speakers cost the
astronomical sum (then for sure) of $225, and the FM-3 kit was $90.
Am I an old fart, or what?
