My once fruitful thrift store source for interesting lps has over the last year become shall we say, less than fruitful. However did find a London Blue Back copy of Ted Heath-Swings In High Stereo-London PS 140. After a good cleaning on my VPI, it proved to be a solid VG+ copy with minimal surface noise and a great recording.
The whole problem with the world is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Yeah that old Altec equipment is way cool, not to mention the other vintage stuff in your photo.Years ago, I had an elderly friend (she's gone as well) who's husband had passed away. He was an old school 1950s-60s audiophile, and an EE. He had a bunch of vintage equipment in disrepair in a garage. I rebuilt and modded a Dynaco ST-70 and a Pas3 preamp for her, to go with her Empire TT. The frosting on the cake was she also had an Altec voice of the theater speaker system, with the bass/mid bins, and the horns separate. She also had an awesome collection of connoisseur vinyl from the '50s to '60s (living stereo etc.) in great shape. I was amazed how good that stuff sounded.

That's a great story! How nice of you to do that for her.
Best,

Well it wasn't totally a gift. In return for that, on a material plane, I was given some cool vintage equipment. On a spiritual plane, visiting with her, and listening to the music was the real reward.

Congrats!
Saw the band in Austin, 1957. Great stuff. The other featured acts were The Hi-Lo's and Carmen McRae.
Thanks for the reminder.
