Never went overseas. Spent 4 years as an ATC instructor at Sheppard AFB. The BX there was not so hot with Hi-Fi gear, although I did score a nice 10" reel to reel deck there.

I made a mistake on the Ortofon products. They were actually $382 each... - John Elison 07:36:34 04/28/16 (3)
There were a lot of real bargains overseas through the military exchange system and the military audio clubs. Unfortunately, the stateside exchange system didn't have the same low prices. I kept a list of items and prices and here are some examples of components I bought in 1983 and 1984:

Teac X-1000R open reel w/Dust Cover .... $508
Denon DP-45F Turntable .......................... $185
Denon DP-62L Turntable .......................... $279
Stax SR-Lambda Pro Headphones ............ $487
Nakamichi Dragon Cassette Recorder ...... $899
Yamaha C-70 Preamplifier ........................ $300
Yamaha M-70 Power Amplifier ................ $400
Yamaha C-2x Preamplifier ........................ $473
Yamaha B-2x Power Amplifier ................. $589
Yamaha CDX-1 CD Player ....................... $330
Ortofon MC-200 LOMC Cartridge ........... $102

I bought a lot of great equipment when I was in Germany. I had two different stereo systems set up in my home. Those were the good old days. ;^)

Best regards,
