Well, I got an awesome surprise in the mail the other day. My sist had painted this based on a picture I took at Mt Rainier. She's @ Shelby_Doodles on IG if y'all use it. The antenna is crooked because it was in the picture (drove through a parking garage with the antenna extended and jacked up the cowl)

Absolutely. Plus I'm lusting over the reel-to-reel deck the painting is leaning against. Mine quit reeling about 30 years ago.

Thanks! I picked this and two others up for $20 each at a house getting gutted. They had cut the power cords off for their scrap metal pile. I replaced the belt and cord on this one but it still needs some cleaning and lubrication
I had a pair of Bose 901's that enticed the cops to visit my house one night. The cone gaskets on those rotted after 10 years. They made a gasket replacement kit for those, glue and all. But that repair was largely cosmetic, they were forever rocked out. Another funeral. What an epic era of component stereophonics and vinyl records.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Pdub - Speakers can be reconed and many rock and roll speakers get that treatment. In fact I have a 15" EV SRO that was reconed in the late 80's and never used. At one time every town of any size had a shop that did this. Mine was done by Audiolite in suburban Detroit - I hear they're still in business. Bummer that you tossed those 901s as they could have been saved.

Vintage Hi Fi is on my "someday" to own list. I want the stuff I DIDN'T have like a huge coffin shaped console stereo. If you were lucky your mom and dad had one, if not they didn't. A rack mount system would be nice. Speakers, the kings in my neck of the woods were the JBL 100s. I think the foam grills are reproduced because those certainly wouldn't have survived.My hobby is needing a hobby.

My friend is giving me one of those consoles for free once I get a house up here, I love those things.
Right now I have a set of Infinity RD-3000s that sound incredible. I also picked up a Pioneer SX-780 and a kit to recap it. I have never done that before and I hope it works outRumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.
