Wires were zip cord, what else? And I still have my Zerostat anti-static gun.Įven the fancy equipment at home now was never as much fun as blasting the Stones "Let It Bleed"out of my parents suitcase style stereo in 1969. You used to be able to purchase pre-recorded reel to reel albums. And last, but not least and who knows why, a Sony reel-to reel tape deck in the pre-eight track and cassette era.

A Dual turntable, unknown model, plus a Pioneer SA-9100(?) integrated amp received as a gift from the then sister-in-law. I can't remember if they had the blue or orange grills. They were way less expensive than the current JBL look-a-likes. JBL L100 speakers in the early seventies. Guys would be walking down the hall, glance in, see the decks and it would be like their neck was caught in a hook. Dorm room doors tend to be open more often than not. My roommate that freshman year had a Pioneer integrated, JBL 元6, Pioneer belt drive table and a Sony 7" RTR deck. But that beast was too heavy, took up too much precious dorm room space, and made power you didn't really need in a dorm room anyway, so it was Kenwood integrated all through college. While at Puyallup High I built a Dynaco ST-400. Also a Pioneer RT whatever, forget the model, 10" RTR. Right as I went off to WSU, or maybe freshman year I'm not sure, somewhere around in there I got a Technics SL-1700 semi-auto with Stanton 681EEE.

Gradually as things went on sale got me through my first full system upgrade and off to college with JBL L26, Kenwood integrated, Pioneer TX-9100 tuner, patch cords, and some nice thick lamp cord. With $2.35/hr burning a hole in my pocket the extra money went into trips to Jafco to audition everything, which it came down to efficient JBL vs power hog Advents. Then I graduated from delivering newspapers to delivering Big Macs.
