When I was a youngster back in the 50s and early 60s I was in love with this type of old tech.
I was always dragging something like this home to the general displeasure of my parents. LOL
That was a kool time though, many people wanted to get rid of what they then considered eyesores,
as modern tech was bringing in ever smaller and more modern gear.
Some worked, some I was able to repair, others just went to the garbage pile but it was all fun to me.
And most used big speakers and could play loud and really rock the R&R music that was just then
exploding onto the radio and into my beloved music world. Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Motown,
give em to me!
