Yet another Maggie-Vox
#7

Sorta funny. Times have changed. I'd have probably been game to tackle that '36 phono combo. I'm not any more. Some people my age still have lots of steam, but I think that the bout I had with a ruptured appendix last year was what took a lot of life out of me. Had I been 30 years younger, a complete recovery might have been possible, but having it happen at 80 years is another program. I still get a lot done, but I have a lot of it bought.

The sound system I have is loads smaller than what's shown in those pictures. It's also far earlier, having used the P-P 50 power amps. Philco really did some sensational stuff. They had good building blocks to do it with.
