Truly classic system! I gotta ask if you still have any of it?

That system served me finishing school and my first job after graduation. Then due to a job move across country I sold the whole system to friends who wanted it. A year later they followed me to So. Cal. so I continued servicing it for them for several more years - checking tubes, setting bias, changing cartridge, etc.
Since then I have owned a couple more ST-70s and another PAS-3. I did a mod on the PAS at Audio Directions, the old hi-end store in San Diego. That was a mixed result - tightened up some detail and bass but diminished some of the sense of spaciousness.
Interesting that after beginning with the ST-70 I later owned a Marantz 8B and then a RM-9. Very recently I came back to the EL-34/6CA7 with a wonderful pair of Manley Snappers. They retain some of that mid-range magic I remember while being more extended at both frequency ends, more dynamic, and faster (apparent) rise time.

Thanks for sharing.
