Aren’t those old “stereos” from the 60s and 70s grand?  Beautiful to behold.

 

I remember back in 1970-71, as a young Naval officer finishing up 10 mos aboard ship in the Med.  Amphibious ships in the squadron, carrying Marines for potential duty in any kind of landing or other action. 

 

Anyway, we had a 1st LT Marine officer from Brooklyn.  Very Italian last name, and 2nd generation upbringing from his Italian father.

 

We did the usual things of buying all the stereo receivers, tape decks, turntables, speakers (and booze) that was priced very right.  He made his audio purchases, and we were talking about them in the wardroom over lunch one day.  I can still hear the man (we changed/shortened the last name to “Cockroach”) saying, “But, I can already hear what my Pop is gonna say . . . you already got a Victrola!”.
