  1. Reminds me of the time I ventured out to buy a pair of Klipsch "Hersheys"

    Went with cash in hand to the hood. Address was an abandoned lot. Police everywhere , it was in the daytime. I got out of there went to little Italy and had a nice lunch. Probably a good thing for me.

     

  2. Nice score! I have been somewhat lucky in the last two weeks. I went to

    my local pawnshop and got a HK 330B for twenty dollars. I cleaned up

    all the pots with deoxit and blew out all of the dust. Cleaned up nice,

    almost museum quality. Disconnected the ole st-70 and am currently

    using it for the amp in my system. I'm using a mapletree audio 4a-se

    for a pre. Sounds really nice with my cornwalls. The other night a

    friend offered my another HK 330C and a Marantz 4230 for twenty bucks

    each so I grabbed them. They're both in pristine condition. Haven't

    tried those out yet and I don't think I'll be using either of those in

    my main system. He has a beautiful hammond b3 organ with the leslie

    speaker system at his house and a vintage twin reverb and loads of

    classic guitars. He also has some klipsch kg somethings in storage that

    he doesn't use I was thinking about making him an offer on those

    sometime. Also I scored a fistful of popular electronics

    magazines from the forties for a dollar at a yard sale. I can't resist

    grabbing up some of this stuff even though I don't need it I think I

    have like 7 receivers in storage now I have a problem! Mark

  3. I got all of my stuff right from the friendly folks on this forum. My

    St-70 from one of "Guy Landau's" friends, my cornwalls from

    "Tuned4Life, and my Mapletree audio 4a-se from "126Mhz" (now known as

    NMR guy). I'll be getting new caps from BEC as soon as I email him

    again and send him his dough (for a real nice price I'll add). Buying

    stuff from ebay is kinda rough though, I always use the

    nearest first option so I can go check

    the items out locally.
