Vintage Asylum

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

plastic front and a few slide switches. I have no idea what model it was, and I have NO idea where it went. From this asylum's Sherwood posts over the past two years, I feel pretty sick about what happened to that amp. In those days, I did not appreciate good sound.

My dad also purchased two Lansing D130 speakers and built two guitar speaker cabinets for me. I eventually purchased two JBL075 horns and two 2400 crossovers for the speakers, and I cut a slot in each cabinet to make reflex speakers according to JBL specs. I never achieved a good midrange with this setup, so I parted it out and sold all the components on the old Audiomart catalog. When the buyer received the speakers and the other components, he said there was a tear in the D130 cone and asked that he only be charged for the freight. I was young and I agreed. He got the D130s, the 075s, and the 2400 crossovers for just the freight cost. I am embarrassed to even mention all this, not to mention the huge regret. Every time I see my old Audiomarts, I am reminded of this huge mistake.
