RE: So what did happen in the 80's that made the 70s look so good


The major name brands decided that they needed to sell more of their equipment so they went after the mass market. After making a name for themselves they thought they could sell their stuff on name alone. So they started producing equipment with plastic face plates and knobs, cheap sheet metal chassis and such. To me most of this stuff was junk. I chuckle when on forums (not this one) and some one finds an eighties piece and they yells score! Usually they weren't around when the good stuff was made.
