cheers for the comments azz and andy,yeah,its a slight departure from boxes and a move back to hifi for me,looking out now for a nice seventies rotel or pioneer or sansui system or the like,proper seperates and a proper phono stage too.ill be posting more scans (and more professionally lol)shortly too,in a way to say thanks to all the members on here who have posted up great scans over the yearsi havent put these magazines down since i got them,and ive been reading some of the advertisments in them from different specialist hifi shops at the time and it makes me wonder,how many of them are still in business today?none of them,i bet!
as i think i said before,there are one or two boxes in these mags,but nothing to shout home about as my mags date back to the very early years as far as boxes go,but,just for you box purists ill try and find them and scan those up in a different post at a later occasion
one thing that appears in there in the write up of one of the ads is the sanyo g2615n music centre in a briefcase.....it retailed for a mere £77.20 when newand some of the other prices?a whole,high end sony music centre for the price of one of todays pure evoke dab radios!!!!i know which id rather have
the man in the mack....why its me of course in another life
