Radio shows around the country have continually diminished in scale. This Kutztown event, however, has become the biggest radio show in the east coast and is still growing!
There are still cheap tubes to be had if you're willing to get down on your knees and your hands dirty. But everything else is close to retail or eBay going rate.
Minty Altec 604D with the original paper suspension cone, IPC horns and Jensen field coils
Marantz 7, 10B & 8B
Rek O Kut LP743
Next time I went around, it was gone...
2 pairs of Heath W4 mono amps
I still remember cleaning and fixing these for Angela Instruments and I built my first pair of PP2A3 amps on these chassis
Scott 310B + 335 mpx
I listened to this combo in the 90s. I should've kept them. 😞
Fisher + Grommes
Early Audio Research D50 power amp
Altec tube type mono mixing console
Western Electric WE124 mono PP WE350B power amp
Holy Grail!
I go to this event mainly to hang out with old buddies like Chong and Larry R. Also made new friends with Francis S. who's been a frequent visitor to this blog and a dyed in the wool Western Electric/Altec enthusiast who has been carefully studying Altec 3000 tweeter repair.
Since the price was right, I adopted a single JBL D123.
Will it be as good or better than an Altec? Stay tuned...
