Wow, thanks for the welcome. OK some background on me. I was born in '55. My Dad was a music nut who put together a Hi-Fi in a large cabinet. Tube electronics amp, pre amp and tuner. I don't remember the brand. He had a Garrard changer. It has an 15" altec coax, maybe a 605 (?). We also had a few table radios and I had a transistor. We also had a early Panasonic reel to reel. Around '68 my Dad took me to a consumer show which featured McIntosh, Dynaco, Sansui, Pilot, AR,KLH, and others. Dad was not convinced to by a new stereo set but I caught the bug. In 1972 I bought my first stereo and in 1976 I started selling radios, tape recorders and home stereo. After a short stint at Aetna's data center, lm I went to work for a rep firm with both consumer and pro audio lines. In '88 I moved to Nashville and worked for an electronics distribution company. I also worked in Radio and at doing light and sound work.
Eventually I went to work for Northern Telecom and later for Nissan. For years I bought old radios and jukeboxes. I am officially retired but still like to collect and buy and sell. Over the years I've played drums too but I quit a few years ago after having hearing issues.
I hope I didn't bore you guys....
