In Reply to: Your first Stereo posted by Cameraman on August 22, 2015 at 16:42:08:
My parents had some Magnavox "suitcase" model with a detachable speaker (one speaker was in the base unit, the other was hinged to that base unit but could be detached and moved 4-6 feet on a cable) that I used as a teenager.
MY first stereo (which I got in 1970) consisted of:
Dynaco SCA-80Q integrated amp (built from a kit), with "Quadraphonic" sound
AR-XA turntable and whatever cartridge (Pickering?) it came with
Dynaco A-25 speakers
Wire from whatever the "Home Depot" of that day was
I stayed up all night building the SCA-80Q, powered it up - and FLAMES shot out of it! Turns out I had some big honking resistor installed backwards. I was crushed! But we took it to some electronics place, who replaced the resistor (no other collateral damaged) and it sounded great. I think I had it until 1978 or 1979.
