I've written here about visiting Julius Futterman in his 72nd Street "factory" in the late 70s. I too picked up my freshly built H3aa's from him at that location. As you know, he even hand-wound the power transformers for his amplifiers, and I recall there were several that had been dipped in some petroleum derivative or other and were hanging on a clothesline to dry, when I was there. He was a very kind and quiet man. And he charged ridiculously little money for his products, even for those days. I probably owned 4 or 5 true Futterman amplifiers, including some early ones from Harvard Electronics. But unlike yourself, I did not have the wisdom to hold on to them over all the years.
