Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Dented & Scratched Gear

For a long time, what we consider as "classic" gear was essentially obsolete to most.

Who wanted tubes?
Who wanted coffin sized speakers?

Remember the days when a Mac or Marantz tube amp could be found for $100 ?

As late as the mid 90's you could find a Dyna ST70 for $50, and it was usually in someone's garage, our hauled from flea market to ham fest and back while the owner waited for someone to buy it.

I purchased my first Fisher 500c for $50 and passed up 2 more at the same price because I thought 1 was enough.... They were sitting on the dirt, stacked on top of each other, in the boneyard of a hamfest....

Goes in cycles. When we are dead and buried, our now "classic" tube equipment will be worthless once again. While aging milenials will seek out original ipods to get that retro sound they remember from their youth.
